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

Week 2 : Who Else needs rejuvenating besides them? Parents. With the children getting back on schedule for back to school, the parents have adjusted their work and after school travel schedules just for them. To help Rejuvenate the life at home, lets help the parents out a little more during this time of Stress. 7 magic words (Yes sir , no sir, yes mam, no mam, please, thank you, Osu!). Helping with whatever duties they are capable of dependent on age. clean room, take out trash, feed the animals, do some dishes, keep living quarters from utter disarray. This will lead to more stability at home as everyone falls into the new routine.

Youth– ( last week)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.

new* add a defense to the above so Offense Defense. If there was a TD last week, add the Defense, and if they got it a counter. If the sprawl was the move teach a reshot.

Adults- (Last week)Re Cap on the Standing theme to the ground and add some Defensive Ground work.

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.

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.
