Taking a break of the Easter Holiday

 No classes this Saturday.  We'll be back to our normal schedule Tuesday the 6th of April.

 

Junior Team Stepping Up

 Our Junior team is showing off what they've learnt in the last 8 weeks.  They now have enough tools in there tool box to have a technical rolling session.  

Skills learnt:

2 Mount escapes - Trap and roll and 2 on one with hip escape.
2 Sweeps.  Hip bump and Pendulum
2 guard pass - Double under and standing guard pass
Pulling guard when starting on the ground.

We had a good flow with all the movements.  We had excellent focus from everyone.  Aidan was a tremendous help in running everyone through the techniques for the chain we created..  

What a Fabulous Team We Have

Aidan and I are very fortunate to have such dedicated students.  Everyone trains together,laughs together and enjoys every minute of their Jiu Jitsu training.  Thanks to all the families for all their support!  We are growing again.  It's great to see the new student's blending in and having a great time.

Our Super Awesome Seniors!

Super Saturday training 13/02/2021

We are back in full swing!  It was great to see everyone back on the mats.

We are working hard with our students that are going to compete in the NZ Grappler No Gi Competition.  There's been a lot of take down, submission and escape/sweep work.  We have to keep grinding along if our students are going to make to podium.   Go Team!

Training report Saturday 6th of Feb

We had a fantastic rolling session!  Everyone was using the techniques we've been working on over the last several weeks.  Our latest mount escape we've been working on was used frequently in the rolling session.  It's great to see the level of technical ability increase with every class.  We're all looking forward to a successful showing at the comp this month.

Wicked rolling today team!

The mount escape we've been working on can be found here.  Just to note that the kids aren't finishing with the leg attacks that Andre shows.

 

Summer Submission Series Continues

We will be continuing our submission work up until the no gi competition.  We started out with the Anaconda.  Our next submission will be the rear naked choke "RNC", or "Mata Leao" which loosely translates to "Lion Killer".  For most of our students the RNC will be a refresher to reinforce the fine detail in getting to the position and having a solid finish. The Rear Naked Choke is one of the fundamental submissions in our self defense curriculum..

Rear Naked  Choke

Our younger students will be working on opening the guard and passing using the double under guard pass.  We are building confidence with solid fundamental work for our Junior students.  To date we've covered grip breaking, mount escape and hip bump sweep.  More to come in the weeks ahead.
