We’re off to a great start this year. Not getting the amount of new students yet that we did last year, but getting alot of retention, which I’m happy with. Participation is starting to get better amongst the Intermediate and up classes. If you’d like make some preliminary warmups a continuation of previous weeks techniques. Takedown. Guard Opener. Torreando Pass. If the mats are packed we have many pass based partner drills we’ve discussed to open with.

Beginners:

Knee on Belly Escape: Bump shrimp  to the Single Leg Takedown

Mobility: Windshield Wiping & Stepping around the Head

Attack: Back Attack Riding the Wave to the back Mount that we’ve done in previous weeks (that was done via the kick pass from headquarters), Bow and Arrow while they’re on their side after you spin behind, arm bar. Manipulate this dependent on the group.

Advanced:

Mobility is the theme. so any attacks you like after your movement following their initial defense.

Hey guys great job last week. We completed our first week of the year! Great attendance in the beginning, the rain hurt us a little. Advanced classes were pretty non existent, this gotta change. If you need to start reaching out to our blues and up, go head with your bad selves.

Word of the Month: Respect- Make note that nobody mentioned themselves in people they should respect. Self respect is very important, and one of the ways we can respect ourselves is holding ourselves accountable for our own actions as well as the actions of our “friends” If we see something thats uncool, we should call them on it. Same with ourselves. Adjust the scenarios depending on the age groups you’re talking with. Mention one thing or one way in which you have self respect, if it is in regard to accountability, mention how. This is good for us too.

Curriculums up momentarily

 All Skill Levels

With last weeks takedown scenarios leading us to the full guard on the ground, Lets presume we didn’t get that guillotine we wanted and now its the top guys turn to open the guard while standing. Feel Free to review the basic guillotine from front headlock or guard, depending on where you set it up from. I know that due to space restrictions, we had to alter the curriculum on tuesday.

Guard Opener: Pin both hands to their chest, step up with both legs and move to 2 hands on one knee

Pass: Torreando

Knee on Belly: Movement to Submission

Alright Gentlemen, Let’s start the New Year off by getting back to some basic Jiu Jitsu and an emphasis on the dealing with the Closed Guard. Since it’s week one of the month. Lets look at getting there. We will be doing Top as well as bottom work from the Closed Guard this month. We have some different instructors working with Kid’s and some with adults. Put your own flavor on it. Below I’ll give my take on what I’ll likely teach for the classes.

Word of the Month: Respect- from our Triforce Ethos. Talk about what it is, and who are some individuals you respect and why. Let’s ask some of the students who they respect.

1)A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

2) To hold one in high regard and admiration
