This week is a short one as we celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday and Friday, but we’ll still have enough time to cover all of our Lesson Plans this week!  We’ll begin on Monday by finishing up our Armlock from Guard series. In this Lesson Plan, we’ll introduce the Defense and Escape to this technique, both of which will be far easier to execute now that we have a deeper understanding of how to apply the Armlock.

On Wednesday, we will cover another powerful submission from the Closed Guard – the Triangle Choke!  This technique is one of the most strongest chokes in Jiu-Jitsu not only because it utilizes the legs, but also (and mostly!) because of the angles we create and direction we squeeze!

We’ll work on Overhook Attacks in our No-Gi and Advanced Classes, so let’s make sure we see everyone this week – we’re so thankful for our CTA Family!

ARMBARS ALL OVER THE PLACE!  This week, we’ll be exploring the ins and outs of one of the most classic submissions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!  On Monday and Tuesday, we will be focused on the offensive side of this technique to learn the controls and grips needed.  From there, some of the most common reactions will be addressed, as we add the Flower Sweep into our Lesson Plan as well.

We’ll close the week by introducing some of the methods of defending the Armbar as well.  Early detection is going to be key, but once we’re able to protect our arm and weaken our opponent’s posture while attacking, the escape and pass should be automatic.

We’ll be adding some wrestling basics and even some situational stuff this week, so make it our mats!

We’re starting our week with some Self Defense and then adding to our skill set from Mount!  The Bear Hug from behind can be one of the most dangerous situations to encounter, so Professor Collin will be showing how to defend and escape this position. From there, we’ll move to mount or add an Armbar!

What better week to do the Americana/Keylock than the week of July 4th?!? One of the simplest submissions to do and easiest to learn, we’ll learn how to do it and also add to it – there’s Armbars and Wristlocks available there as well!

ALL ABOUT ARMBARS!  The Armbar is one of the staples of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and this week we will be discussing several different techniques surrounding both the Armbar and Guard Position.  Beginning Monday, we will explore things from a strictly offensive standpoint – breaking our opponent’s posture, securing control of their elbow and getting the tap!  We’ll finish class with sweeping our opponent and gaining top position if they defend:

On Wednesday, we’ll introduce one more Armbar option, but spend most of our time working on both defending and escaping the submission.  Being in class for both lessons will be extremely helpful in learning all of the details on both sides, so make sure you’re in class!
