Month: July 2022

Word of the Month: Rejuvenation- The action or process of giving new energy or vigor to something

Week 1 : Give the students the definition, and get them a HW assignment of what they can think they can do at home, school, and on the Jiu Jitsu mat to rejuvenate and go in with a fresh attentive outlook.

Basics- Lets get back to them

Advanced Classes start back up on Tuesday nights after fundamentals.

Youth– Standing fundamentals (punch blocks,Underhooks, Stance in motion, Sprawls, Body awareness)

Also point out the don’ts (staying on knees in sprawl, reaching for head throws and head locks) and the Why’s behind them.

Adults- Punch blocks, Grip Breaks, Standing Sequences that lead to the ground

Thursday Belt promotion: 6:30PM

Jesse is out for the week, so I’ll be working the front desk and teaching most of the days. If anyone has free time and isn’t scheduled, the extra assistants for classes are greatly appreciated.

Testing went so so for white > Green. Im pleased with most peoples ability progression since the start of the year. We’ve all gotten a lot better, but the technical capability was really lacking. White belts can’t do a single headlock escape properly. Punch Blocks were not good across the board. Standing to open the guard still not being done right by anyone. Double under passes were all being done from one or both knees. Limited pressure. If you see some problems with the simple things, please help correct them.

Starting next week we will have back to school, getting back on point with our words of the month, beginning curriculums to help refresh with the kids that took the summer off for the most part. This week finish any final thoughts you guys had going on with your curriculums.

Striking programs starting next week. We hope to see that class fill up pretty quickly.
