Tuesday Training Report - Jiu Jitsu Self Defense class

Our first class worked on learning the basic closed guard position.  We progressed into showing them how to pull their opponent down with their legs, grabbing their neck and body to protect themselves from punches.  Everyone picked up the concept quickly.  We moved into learning their first sweep from guard.  The hip bump sweep!  We will be working more on the sweep in upcoming classes.  Great work and excellent focus from my juniors.  Well done.

Our senior students started on a choke defense whist being pushed against a wall.  This will be the first self defense technique where they get to use a strike!  We have a very powerful knee strike which has been borrowed from Mauy Thai.  Khao Chiang which translates to diagonal knee strike.  The team loved this one.  We will be bringing pads soon so they can get used to striking with power whilst maintaining their balance. We all had a lot of fun learning this self defense technique. 

Here's a big thank you to the students that stayed after and helped clean the mats. 

Sensational Saturday on the mats

What a great group of kids today.  Our Junior class had fantastic focus and really enjoyed the non-stop action during the class.  The games at the end were fun and aimed at everyone's fitness and coordination.

Our senior class now has a firm grasp of the take down we've been working on.  We'll be moving onto different techniques in the weeks to come. 

Our rolling session was focused on taking an opponent to the ground and mounting them.  We used the shark tank to give everyone a go with different size and shape partners.  I love watching everyone go hard.  Everyone did very well in our rolling session. 

Training report

Tuesday's take down class was super awesome!  The technique we are working on is starting to look natural and effortless.  We should have this take down programmed into to a reflexive drill very soon.

Jiu Jitsu for self defense.  Jiu Jitsu for life! 

Self defense training is going well!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was tailored from the Japanese form for real world self defense.  We are entering our distance management and take down phase of learning. Everyone worked very hard on our first closing the distance and take down techniques. Practice makes perfect!

Moving up

We are back in full swing.  We will be closing enrollment for the term shortly.  Thanks to all my existing families for telling friends about our school.

Olaf returned to class and we caught him up with a new stripe.  He's come a long way since he walked in our door.  At his first comp he was very nervous to the point that I thought he was going to back out.  With the right encouragement he fought hard in his first match.  After that the butterflies were gone and he was in full beast mode, winning his second match by a huge point spread.  Well done Olaf!

Enroll now for our new term.

We will be back on the mats January 25th. Enroll now to get on our waiting list. Classes fill up quickly so don't miss out!
