Month: September 2022

Dedication: Remember that YOU aren’t the only one that needs to learn the importance of dedication. There are others around you all the time that aren’t dedicated and they need Leaders to show them what dedication really is. You can’t tell the younger or more inexperienced Jiu Jitsu students, you need to show them what it is. Do this by being disciplined during class and approach every piece of instruction with an attitude of one who is ready to learn and get better.

 

BJJ Theme: Side Mount Submissions

Remember, this is for competition. The students should have learned how to open the guard by standing or on the ground and pass the guard vs retention. Let’s now work on some side mount subs. Kimora, Key lock(Americana), Armbar, easier stuff for the kids.

Remember no open mat or class Saturday. I hope to roll with you guys 12-1:30 in Dublin!

WEEK 3 of Dedication: With a Competition Coming up, we must understand the life of a competitor. Competitors can’t just put in part time dedication but expect the full time results. We must come to Elite/Comp Class, come to open mat and train hard with other kids or adults. Jiu Jitsu is like anything else, put in the most perfect reps possible. What else can we do to be dedicated for our JJ when at home?

ADCC was spectacular, for those that need to see more of it, we have the FLO SPORTS app on the tv in the back room, you’re welcome to go back and pull up anything you need.

 

We opened the Close guard both standing and grounded and did appropriate passes as well as showed replacement. Lets work on passing the knee shield half guard This week after moving to it from the opener of your choice. After showing a Pass, show some retention from the knee shield half and how to get back to a guard of your choosing. Positional Training a lot.

 

Lessons Learned from ADCC

Dedication: For one to be dedicated, what are some additional traits one must have? Hopefully the children answer with respect courage discipline as this is the answer to all things lol. but maybe some will say manners if they’re being dedicated to family, perseverance if they’re being dedicated to Jiu Jitsu or another new skill or sport. Get them to start thinking of how to be more of themselves.

Passing: Continue with starting from a guard opening. then move to a pass, new or old, then get the kids on an escape from side mount. If the kids are new, then shrimp or undertook escape, if they’ve been a while, maybe a shrimp to butterfly, or corkscrew escape.
