Our focus this week will be escaping and recovering! Both the Side Control and Knee on Belly positions can be difficult to endure and even harder to get out of, but we’ll cover all of those details and more. Whether we’re recovering Guard, wrestling up, or even going after a sneaky Submission, this week’s material […]
This week focuses on continuing our passing strategies from Half Guard and attacking from the Side Control position with some exciting choke and armlock options! We’re closing in on both IBJJF and Jiu-Jitsu World League tournaments as well, so Wednesday night’s Competition Class will be used for some positional-specific No-Gi training to help us push […]
The focus will be on Passing the Guard by using two different approaches in conjunction with each other this week! After opening the Guard, we’ll use the Over Under Pass as our initial threat before having the Tripod or Smash Pass as our backup plan. We’ll also use Wednesday night to work on some specific […]
We’re turning up the heat this Summer with some more Mount Attacks. Mounting isn’t as easy as it’s said, neither that basic. Even though the moves from Mount might not be as complicated as in other areas, controlling the Mount can be just as hard, and for that reason a lot of lower belts end […]
We’ll be focused on mechanics from the Mount this week in Intro and Fundamentals before celebrating our Country’s 250th Birthday! We’ve covered marching toward dominant positions the past couple of weeks, and now it’s time to capitalize on them. The Cross Choke from Mount is one of the most diverse attacks from here, as its […]
We’ve got an exciting week of Summer Camp and dominating from Side Control before heading to Jiu-Jitsu World League on Saturday!

This week our Intro classes cover some fundamentals of Self Defense and Judo! We’ll cover the Osoto Gari and O Goshi throws and their application in the most crucial of moments – when we might have to defend ourselves from an attacker! Fundamentals classes will focus on attacking from the Knee on Belly position while […]
We’re approaching the middle of the month, and we have SO MUCH on the way at CTA Irving! Our focus this week is getting back to good. Lately our classes have covered lots of details to secure the back position and submit our opponent from there, but we’re flipping the script and talking about the […]
The Back Mount position will continue to be our focus this week as we finish our offensive concepts and start to move on to Defense and Escapes! Frames are always a huge element in grappling, and they are certainly important when we begin to escape both the Turtle and Back Mount positions. Summer is officially […]
Last week’s Lesson Plans led us into the most dominant position there is in grappling – onto our opponent’s back. We’ll continue along this path, using the time in our “Intro to BJJ” classes to discuss the hand fight and positioning to perform the most powerful submission there is – the Rear Naked Choke. Our […]
