Earlier this month, our Academy had the opportunity to host Coach Travis Clark for a No-Gi seminar. He has an incredibly long list of state and national wrestling titles to his credit (both as an athlete and coach), on top of being a highly decorated Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well.
After working with Coach Clark a bit this Summer myself, I wanted to make sure that I brought his knowledge through the doors to be shared with our students. After a brief warmup, we got right to work on a number of takedown variations that he’s used with great success in competition himself. He continued to the mat, adding some submission details that could be applied to a Jiu-Jitsu scenario, even answering every question along the way.
Our entire team had an amazing time and they are already using Coach Clark’s details and concepts in training! We look forward to having him back out soon on September 3rd – and this time to show some of his favorite ways to adapt his wrestling to the Gi!
