Curriculum

Hook Sweep to Top>Pass/Mount>Sub Attack>Defense>Counter Attack

Work to That!

FREEDOM: As the Students what they learned about freedom this month, Do they appreciate Freedom? What will they do with their freedom?

Adjust with the room. going to be Hook Sweep though

Butterfly Guard: This week we are doing Hook Sweep from close distance (body lock) into Offense to submission. So far I have done

1. hook sweep to 3/4 mount or 1/4 guard
2. Above to 1/4 guard, bottom player counters and gets underehook, step back to heel hook for no gi, or  back step to reverse have pass
3. Hook sweep to 3/4 mount to ninja roll back take/ truck options
4. Hook to 1/4 guard to backstep to stepover 3/4 mount to cross knee cut to far side chair sit.

Word of the Month- Freedom :”the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” Why is it important to have freedom?

Beginners: Side mount recovery to Guard attack(sweep). Please make it an attack we did not do last month

Advanced: Double under pass to the elbow escape to seated butterfly guard we did last month

-Enter into Butterfly Guard attacks (arm drag  or 2 on 1 entries)

Vigilance: Did you maintain and show vigilance last week? How? Do you think you can make a PLAN to stay Vigilant this week, next month, and all year long? How can you take your vigilance and implement it into your Jiu Jitsu?

Great week last week guys. It was great to see Lance in the academy training before he left. Lathon,Moon, great job on the work you guys spent helping Q out. I know he’ grateful, and all this is a great opportunity for you guys to see a GLIMPSE at what It is to be an MMA trainer. You guys are in a hell of a stride right now, keep the momentum going rest of this year. I know Moon and Katelyn will be fighting and we want to ride this wave to the top!

I’m gone T/W this week, I have to take Cliffs daughter to Chicago and drive her things back to macon. Let Jesse know if you guys need anything.

Curriculum: Continue with the theme we’ve built. Takedown to HQ or half. to pass. to attack or. Pass to them recovering guard to their own attack.

Vigilance: Ask definition/remind. Who were some ppl we said have vigilance? What are ways you can show that you have Vigilance. Not all heroes wear capes right?

Curriculum Theme: Positional Training
*Make sure to do LIVE goes for positional, every single class

Extended warmups can include previous weeks content.

Guard recovery and/or retention will be the theme/concept for the week.

Beginner: 

1. Either the half or HQ pass from last week
2. Guard Recovery
3. Pass to a SM sub, Reset to safe hands, execute the recovery
   *Recovery could be a Corkscrew, hip escape, shrimp, SM TBR, etc. Instructor choice

Advanced Youth: Elbow Escape

Last week we did HQ to knee cut to a scarf hold/ kesa style side mount where top player faces bottom, hips toward the head. As they went to re- establish a chest down sm, the bottom player moved the arm across and sat up doing an “elbow escape” to a guard recovery.

Do this, and then to an attack from various guards. Watch Cole’s INT class this week if you like for more.

Advanced Adults: Coaches choice

I’m hoping there’s an update on a gathering with LANCE by the end of the weekend if he’s cool with it.

Since we unexpectedly had to shut down this week. Review Last week and continue the positional sparring for all Youth and Beginner classes with regard to passing  and positional advancement. Feel free to alter the sub in any adult class.

Positional Sparring.

Remind the kids of the definition of vigilance, we will talk more next week when we have a complete week.

Mention the Couple’s self defense seminar this weekend, there is NO OPEN MAT, and how amazing it will be at the seminar. We do have several sign ups

VIGILANCE:-the action or state of keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties

Who are some people in today’s culture in real life or TV/MEDIA/COMICS that have/show vigilance? give high fives to kids that say firefighters, policemen, Military servicemen/women,Parents etc. Give power bombs to kids that say John Cena.

Ask the kids to think about and be grateful for those that act vigilantly toward them.

Kaleb didn’t compete this weekend, and Lance stepped in place of him while rolling at our own open mat. He had a great showing for the circumstance, but lost in Overtime rounds due to “ride time”. Good Job.

Lance is leaving for Florida for good, soon. I think we should have a get together before he leaves. Someone organize this shit, make sure Lathon is off, consider John as well. Dinner, drinks, whatever he wants to do , company is paying for it.

Curriculum: SPECIFIC TRAINING

This month flies by. I know we should be doing specific training on Tuesdays from positions set for the class. But I’d like to see that positional style training be done all month

Week One is Passing of the Guard from Half guard “ground” and Headquarters from a “standing” position. Go over techniques that lead to positional advancement and even subs this week. The positional training should start in the positions more neutral and work toward the ones you covered in class that led to the sub like Side mount, back mount, etc.

Should be a great month.

Congrats to Moon on getting the job done. Now More.

Kaleb is competing Saturday. I have a Boy Scout event I’m supposed to attend with Link, I have no idea if the time slots conflict or not, or if I’ll go (we’re a little behind on building a pinewood derby car). I’ll find out and be in touch with one of the instructors if we need you to help coach Kaleb on Saturday. The earliest the event will begin is 1pm ET. at 10 planet Perry.

I bounced around all last week through the schedule. It’s nice to be seeing more of what’s going on and I like all of it. You guys are doing great.

Ethos: re-address previous themes if you didn’t get a chance to (we were closed monday so I doubt the M/W crews got to answer properly since they couldn’t go home to do the HW on Monday to come back with a response Wed.

This week. Ethos can blend into another word: Creed. A creed re-inforces an ethos. A creed is a phrase a student repeats that is a goal of what they hope embody or become , as well as their commitment to doing so. Ask the student to write down their own creed and bring it in. I doubt all the students will do it. I will support you guys by posting in the team App what the kids are SUPPOSED  to do. If there are any assistant or lead instructors that are in the military, perhaps you could recite a creed or ethos or BOTH. I know the AF motto “Integrity First. Service before Self. Excellence in all that we do.” or something close to that. If you have a creed, please say it to the students. It’ll give them an idea of what to write.

Moon is stepping up on short notice to take a much needed bout. Go fucking dominate.

Ethos: Does your family have its own ethos? Talk to them to find out what is important to them on how they want you to be received by others. What changes can you make to uphold your family’s ethos?

Wrestling: Continue for Beginners and Advanced Kids

Adult Beginners: Continue Attacks from guard, Sweep and Sweep to submission. That could be completed or failed sweeps to the sub.
