Month: October 2021

Great week guys. I’ll write something up after Halloween festivities.

Thank you guys for doing so good last week. At the end of the year, everyone typically has alot going on. You guys have done a great job being consistent, and covering for others including myself when necessary. I know we all are appreciative.

 

Beginners Adults & Kids/Int Kids: Lets finish this week out with Side Mount Attacks for These classes. You can have them do dog fight to top half guard and then pass or just isolate some of those positions.  Feel free to also do guard recoveries as a extended warmup.

Advanced Adults: We’re going back to half and butterfly combination again from top and bottom

No Class nor open mat Saturday. Stop by the Good Fight to support some of our competitors. It’s local in Perry, and we will likely compete against one another….so be it. Our guys love it for some reason.

Next week, New month and some activities and events we have going on.

Nov 6- Yves Edwards Seminar!!!!!

Nov 13- I’m supposed to be doing a Women’s Self Defense Seminar in Cordele at a former student’s fitness academy.

Nov 20-We will likely do a “holiday shopper self defense” seminar that mirrors the one I’m doing in Cordele.

Additionally Lathon is FIGHTING that evening in ATL. If you can make it, make it. He does so much for us. Let’s support him in what I  consider to be an unveiling of a new man from who used to fight.

Nov 27- Gym is closed officially for that T-giving weekend. We will likely have an OPEN MAT at the very least. Stay tuned days closed that week.

 

I hope everyone had a nice little Fall Break from the kids classes. That was nice. This week lets get back to it with Sacrifice. Ask the students some ways they could make some small sacrifices to help mom and dad out at home. Hold them to it by class 2 and ask if they did those things and encourage them to do that thing all the time.

Beginner Kids, Half guard passing and side mount recovery

Beginner Adults & ADV kids- Dog Fight attacks into top offense

Advanced adults- Top half guard attacks

New word of the month is Sacrifice. “An act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy.” simplify for the little kids. Ask them what are ways they make sacrifices on a daily basis.

Great job last week guys. Self Defense September was a big hit and extremely worthwhile. I appreciated all of the instructors take on it and teaching the things they like to do. The students saw a variety of things, different ways to do things, but conceptually I feel the students took alot from it and I feel better about having them out in the real world.

This month lets get back to Jiu Jitsu vs Jiu Jitsu.

Single Leg takedown to half guard passing. chest to chest. Fighting for the Underhook has got to be the name of the game here. then have the bottom person get the Underhook, forcing the top player to repummel for an Underhook and then get a half guard pass (chest to chest style).  This will lead into dog fight attacks the following week.

 

Dog fight this week for advanced kids

deep half top vs bottom this week for int adults.
