Moving onto the Mount! We’re wrapping up the month of August with some high percentage attacks from the top, including both chokes and joint locks.  On Monday and Tuesday we will focus on securing the grips and positioning to execute the Cross Choke from Mount.  The Mount position gives us the opportunity to use our own body weight to add strength to the technique, making this one incredibly powerful!

In the middle of the week, we’ll cover the Armlock from the Mount.  By building on the concepts covered earlier in the week, Professor Collin will discuss moving to the S-Mount position before securing grips and then the submission. We’ll even be adding some tips on how to counter our opponent’s defensive reactions!

Even more Submission Chains coming in our No-Gi and Advanced Lesson Plans, so be sure to soak up the details in every class this week!

More from Mount as our week will begin with the Keylock Submission! The Keylock is an incredibly tight shoulder lock because of the leverage we are able to generate with the grip on our opponent’s wrist. And if they defend our attempt, we can transition to the Armlock we learned last week!

On Wednesday, we will discuss what is probably the most important Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique to know – the Upa.  Knowing how to escape the Mount position is vital for both Self-Defense and Sport application, so we will cover both scenarios in detail!

This week gets us from the bottom to the top position, and we’ll be working from Guard to kick off April!

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!

Following up on our Catucada Lesson Plans where we swept our opponent into the Mount position, we’ll be starting on the defensive end of this exchange with some escapes from here.  Many times, we will have to escape incrementally, working from Mount to 3/4 Mount and then to Half Guard before we can begin to think about offensive options.  On Monday and Tuesday, we’ll focus on this concept as well as some movements to assist us in learning the technique more easily.

On Wednesday, we’ll address another method of escaping – and also how to counter it!  The Hip Press Escape is an excellent way to move from the Mount position to either the Single Leg X- or even Butterfly Guard positions…which we’ll be covering soon as well!  The second half of this Lesson Plan addresses maintaining the Mount and even counterattacking with an Ezequiel Choke!

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!
