Mechanics from Mount coming up this week!  On Monday and Tuesday, we’re going to be covering some of the most valuable concepts and techniques in all of Jiu-Jitsu – establishing frames and escaping our hips.  Escaping from the Mount position is not an easy task, and we also have to be aware of Submission and Backtake attempts as well!

Starting Wednesday, we will move to the Hip Press method of escaping the Mount position.  If our opponent is low and on our hips, we must adjust our escape attempts accordingly.  To close the Lesson Plan, we’ll add a bit of offense as well, so don’t miss out!

Our focus this week will be Guard Passing!  For the first Lesson Plan, we will be covering the Modified Hip Switch.  This is a great method for beating the Knee Shield and passing Half Guard, and we will cover several different scenarios and opponent reactions along the way.

We’ll follow up with the Knee Cut method of Guard Passing beginning Wednesday.  This option allows you secure a tight hip connection and then defeat any Guard Retention efforts they may have.

Our final preparation for the Jiu-Jitsu World League tournament is on deck as well, so we have some exciting days ahead!

Open Guard week!  For the next few days we will be working on both the Lasso and Spider Guards.  Both of these methods are extremely effective ways to play Open Guard, but setting up these positions can be difficult. We’ll be covering correct grips and angles to make all of the techniques flow way easier, so no worries there!

From Lasso Guard, we’ll be moving to Spider Guard on Wednesday.  By using our foot in the bend of our opponent’s elbow, we can create incredible leverage to off balance and even sweep them.  From there, the sweeps set up submission opportunities!

Attacks!  All week!  We’ve spent the last few Lesson Plans working on securing the Closed Guard position, and now we’re practicing staples of the submission game – Armlocks and Triangle Chokes. First we explore another method of applying the Armlock to help us learn the defensive reactions and escape options.

On Wednesday, we move on to the Triangle Choke. Using our legs to apply a choke is an incredibly strong method, bit we must isolate our opponent’s head and one of their arms first. Don’t miss the details!

Our No-Gi and Advanced Lesson will address utilizing an overhook from the Closed Guard position, with more Armlock and Triangle Options from there as well!

This week we’re returning to our feet and getting back to Guard!  The Closed Guard position is one of the strongest offensive positions that we can utilize, so our focus will be getting there on Monday and Tuesday.  If our opponent reacts by posturing, we’re ready for that too – Sweeps and Submissions will be waiting!

From the Closed Guard, the Armlock is one of the most common Submission attempts available to us.  However, it will be necessary to establish control of our partner’s posture in order to secure the angles that we need.  Submitting an opponent from the bottom position is usually more difficult, but we’ll focus on a few ways to ensure strong positioning in class.

Our week is filled with some Rubber Guard in No-Gi and Sleeve Drags in Advanced too, so don’t miss out!

We’re passing Open Guard and having a whole lot of fun while doing it!  We’ll be exploring a handful of different methods to get to our opponent’s hips, starting with the Over/Under Pass on Monday and Tuesday. We’ll explore the details behind angles and grips and much more!

If our opponent is able to recover back to Half Guard, we’ll start by executing the Tripod Pass. Balance will be a critical element in this one working, so our focus will be on maintaining a strong connection with our shoulder and legs through the technique.
