LOTS OF CLASSES AND LOTS OF PASSES! We’ll continue to explore techniques from the Half Guard position by addressing how to perform our Tripod and Knee Slide passes. With the Half Guard being so dynamic and presenting so many options and threats, we’ll spend Monday and Tuesday dissecting the Shin Shield as well. Once we clear it, we’ll utilize the Tripod position to pass a handful of different ways:

If our opponent starts to escape their hips in an attempt to recover Closed Guard, we have to change our strategy. By switching our hips and blocking their recovery attempts, we can open up pass opportunities to Quarter Mount:

Professor Collin will be teaching more Half Guard passes and attacks in our No-Gi classes as well, so don’t miss out!

This year’s camp began with several impressive performances at the San Jose Open, where our team was able to win 1st place in both the Gi and No-Gi Divisions! Way to go everyone!

Each year, our camp allows all of the CTA affiliates from around the world to connect and form new bonds and strengthen old ones with our teammates. We are able to share experiences, ideas, and of course – we get to learn from our Professor, Caio Terra!

This year’s camp focused on the new curriculum material and also some of the changes to the existing material, as the techniques have evolved and improved over time.

Spring Promotions were held while we were at camp, and it was incredibly impressive to see so many CTA students come together in one room. Congratulations to all those receiving new belts and stripes – you couldn’t be more deserving![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
