Deep Half Guard: Beginner Adults, Adv Youth & Adults

Beginner Kids: Half Guard- Instruct them on the importance of the under hook. how with the undertook the top player passes and with the under hook from the bottom, the bottom player can sneak to the back  when the top player is attempting to play chest to chest. get them in the mindset of always pummeling on the same side that their leg is trapped (top)

Basic Deep Half and how to pull and play should be taught. Run the pipe and out the back door pulls from half guard

ADV: Getting to Deep half from the previous use of DLR/Lasso/Spider. I’d like to see sit up guard being utilized to hit the pull

You may see me get In to stuffing sit up guard from the top

Hey guys, hope everyone is off to a good start to the summer

Word of the month: Immersion- to completely engulf oneself in an activity. Absorbing involvement

Let Summer be the time we Immerse ourself into our Jiu Jitsu. It’s often a time where we feel the need for a break, kids are out of school, no need to continue to work right? WRONG. This is the time to sharpen ones skills, and surprise all of those that slacked all summer. let’s get better, and for our adults lets focus and aid those that are testing in July.

We have Tyler and Andrew out this week. Next week Blue is gone M-W and I  have pending days next week I’ll be out at the AF academy and Ft Carson to aid with the Master Instructor Course for Combatives.

Jesse has a fight agreed for the 28th of August. Let’s prepare hard, so the fight is easy.

After our Adult Fundamental JJ sessions we will have heavy drilling for the test material.

With that said, Let’s Segway out of that and begin by going over moves that are listed on the green and blue exam. It’s ok to be random. TD, Guard Pass, Sub.  Sub, Sweep, Pass, just do anything and get the students involved.

Week 4: Simple: Ask the groups what they’ve done to simplify their daily lives. Give them feedback on what you have done as well. Remind them of the Acronym KISS Keep it simple silly( we don’t tell them its really STUPID).

Content: Lets get some attacks from the top. Defenses to spider guard and Passes. SIMPLE. Things from the Stack position if you’re standing like Double Under. Staple the leg and over under or kneee cut options if you’re passing grounded. Move to attacks.

Beginner Kids work on Top game, from the Spider Guard work to move to the bullfighter.

Beginner Adults, stay with what we’ve been doing.

Advanced Adults.  We are working on Top

Simple: Now that they are more aware of Simple, ask them what is difficult and give your expertise on how to simplify tasks that may be more trying.

Katel and Ge are coming to share their knowledge with us this weekend and we are super excited. Next week we are starting a Striking Class in place of No Gi Elite. I’ll be making a post about it ASAP.

Simple: What are some  of the Simple things that your parents and teachers (Jiu Jitsu included)ask of you? Do you always do them to your best? If no, Why not since they are simple? Sometimes we need to exercise some discipline. If we are unable to handle the simple tasks, how are we going to be able to step up to responsibly handle complicated ones? If you can’t tie your belt , how are you going to be able to tie it when you just went out of bounds and you’re down by a point with 30 seconds left? If you can’t behave in class or at home, how are you going to be invited to parties and gatherings, nobody would want total chaos running around. Think about the simple things we are responsible for this week and try to do better at them.

Jiu Jitsu: Stay with the Spider / Lasso. by the end of this week we should have accomplished some basic steering wheel sweep or triangle or both for youth, as well as how to use it.

Adults, same as above, and with regard to advanced, make them do whatever.

Word Of the Month: Simple- Many Times we make tasks, goals, responsibilities &  relationships more complicated than they need to be. Let’s explore how to keep things simple this month.

What are things that we think are simple to do?

Curriculum

All Gi Classes should start with Spider Guard Basics. Feet in Biceps and Grips and learning to shoulder walk against a forward projecting Threat.

Steering Wheel Sweep/Simple Sweep Variation and Triangle Choke should be doable for beginners. Maybe a two week Task. Get on it Gentlement

In Advanced Adults /Intermediate Kids I’ll continue Spider/Lasso De la riva combinations

No Gi- De la Riva  Sit Through and Single Leg Sweep options Along with Tripod Sweeps
