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!

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!

Over the last several days, our overlying focus has been escaping from bad positions and recovering back to good ones.  Whether the position was Kesagatame or Side Control, we worked on creating frames, escaping our hips, and returning to an offensive position.  The Closed Guard was one of those positions, and is where we will be working from this week.

On Monday and Tuesday, our focus will be breaking our opponent’s posture and taking advantage of their reaction when fighting back.  The Sit-Up Sweep is an awesome Lesson Plan to use as base attack from Closed Guard, and there are many options to follow it up with:

On Wednesday, we will begin addressing the Kimura – a very powerful shoulder lock that works great from several different positions.  Using it with the Sit-Up Sweep makes a great combo attack, with lots of details in these techniques!

The roots of all martial arts styles are grounded in Self Defense.  Being able to survive, escape and even fight back in a bad situation are all critical skills that everyone should know regardless of age.  This week we will start with a very common situation, both from standing and on the ground – the Side Headlock or Kesagatame Position.

On Wednesday, we will work from underneath the Side Control Position and focus on improving to the Closed Guard.  We will begin by discussing some different methods of preventing our opponent from advancing their position, then ensure that we are able to get back on Offense by escaping our hips and using frames.

Stalking, Shooting, Sprawling, Circling and Submitting – we’re covering it all next week! The Double Leg Takedown is a staple of wrestling and is one of the strongest and simplest ways to take your opponent from the standing position to the ground and end up in a dominant position. We’ll also discuss defending against this technique as well, so lots on the way for Monday and Tuesday!

From defending the takedown and taking the back, we’ll be covering the one of the strongest and highest percentage submissions there is – the Rear Naked Choke.  Our Lesson Plan will cover several details regarding hand fighting, grip variations and more:

Even our No-Gi and Advanced Classes will cover more options with Takedowns and Back Attacks – see you on the mat!

Next week we’ll be committed to becoming Escape Artists!  Our focus has been the Back Mount position this month, and we’re putting the finishing touches on these Lesson Plans by covering a few more methods to defend, escape and recover!  The Technical Mount will be the starting point on Monday and Tuesday, as that is a very common position to attack the Back position from.

Beginning on Wednesday, we’ll cover frames and wrestling up out of the position.  Being able to clear our opponents’ hooks in this position will be critical to get our hips mobile and back to an offensive position.
