Continuing from last week’s Sit-Up Sweep, we’re moving on to the Mount!  Following a HUGE weekend of promotions at the Academy, we’re advancing position to the top for this week’s Lesson Plans.  Our focus to start the week will be how to control the position.  Once the Mount has been achieved, it’s important to use the position to your advantage.  By being on top, we can use our weight and different leverage points to maintain dominant position. From there, we’ll cover the Cross Choke!

Beginning Wednesday, we will learn how to apply an Armlock from the Mount.  We’ll use the same strengths of the top position to isolate an arm and secure the submission.  We’ll also address some different methods to break our opponents’ grips if they defend!

In our classes, we often discuss the principles of securing an offensive position then securely advancing towards an opportunity to submit our opponent. One of those positions is this week’s focus – the Mount!
We’re starting out by learning the Cross Choke, which is one of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s most classic submission techniques.  After covering the submission, Professor Collin will move on to defending and escaping, while addressing some self defense aspects along the way.
Utilizing the principles of control from our first lesson, we will move on to learning how to perform an Armlock. Often times, the Armlock can be used in combination with the Cross Choke to make for a strong attack series.
With this weekend’s promotions, we will have lots of new belt colors on the mat, so be sure and congratulate your teammates!

January ends and February begins as we complete our Lesson Plans from one position and move onto another!  Being underneath the Knee on Belly position can be extremely uncomfortable, not to mention that it places your opponent just a short step away from the Mount.  We’ll spend Monday and Tuesday learning how to recover Quarter Guard then work to come up into a variation of a Single Leg takedown:

On Wednesday, we will return to the standing position and address both Single Leg Takedowns and Arm-Out Guillotines.  The Guillotine Choke is available from several different positions and opportunities, so this is always a favorite Lesson Plan every time it’s taught.

On Tuesday and Thursday, we’ll be discussing both D’Arce and North/South Chokes in No-Gi Class, so make sure to get on the mat this week!  OSS!

This week we’ll be completing our Back Mount Series with all of our focus on the Submission and Escape!  We’ll start out on offense and address controlling position before moving onto two different choke variations:

Mid-week, we’ll take a look at the defensive side of these lapel chokes.  One of the best ways to defend and escape a position or submission is reverse engineer it.  The more we understand how, why and when a technique works, the more we’re able to break it down and maybe even prevent it from happening altogether:
