Training Report

After working on turtle and back attack for the last two weeks we've moved on to working on the mount position.  today's class focused on mount escape.  Students reviewed the traditional trap and bridge technique.  Once we had the escape moving at a confident speed we moved to the next escape technique.

Everyone enjoyed working on the escape which starts by grabbing the top person's arm with 2 hands and pinning the arm to the belt of their opponent.  Then comes a simultaneous big push with the hands and hip escape which unsettles the top opponent.  The next step is to sweep under the leg of the opponent and get up and pass the guard.  Good work everyone!  See you next Tuesday.

Training Report:

Today we did an awesome warm up and stretch. We reviewed a few positions and then got onto our plan for the day. Aidan and I began working on a video demonstrating how to tie a Jiu Jitsu belt.  We think we captured some good footage.  Now the real work of narrating and editing the video.  Hopefully we will have it posted on our site in the near future.

That's all for now.

Training Report:

What a great class today.  We had 3 students return to training today.

We had a nice stretch in the beginning and our normal warm up to get focused.  We did a session of planking from our elbows and side planks.  After that we did a round of superman back exercises.  The core workout is so important for our Jiu Jitsu.

We learned and review turtle escape today and worked more on our Crucifix Choke.

Our younger students enjoyed riding the crazy horse which teaches them how to maintain the back attack position.  With a firm seat belt grip and strong hooks everyone was able to endure the ride.  Great work everyone!

Training Update:

Tuesdays class started out with a review of Saturdays techniques.  We went over the 2 sweeps form turtle position then we progressed to the Crucifix attack.  After reviewing the attack Aidan wanted to work on his signature Komodo Dragon choke.   We decided that using the knee pull to isolate the arm that we were doing in the Crucifix choke was a perfect technique to set on the Komodo Dragon choke.  It worked like a charm.

The new technique for the day was a different mount escape.  It involves using 2 hands on the opponents arm and hip escaping to catch the leg for a stand up.  It's really good to have 3 or more options to escape from being mounted.

The video below shows the escape we worked on today.  The others are good ones as well.  It's pretty cool that we have the same color mats as well as this professor.

Our first Saturday training! Training report.

What a great training session today.  I was super impressed with everybody's focus and enthusiasm to learn.

Today was all about turtle and back attack.  We worked on 2 sweeps from turtle position.  Everyone handled this movement very well.  The next step is to drill it faster to commit the sweep to muscle memory.  

Back attack is always a favorite!  We worked on our seat belt grip and setting hooks to maintain control.  We then progressed to the Crucifix Attack!  Everyone was able to perform the attack today.  I'm very happy that everyone is absorbing the basics as well as the higher level techniques. Well done everyone.

 Excited to get to work.
