In December I like to touch up on areas I see that need help. One of the troubles most people have when starting BJJ is escaping the mount because it is such a dominant position. This month we cover that with the bridge and snake move counters. We are working takedowns from past months such…
https://youtu.be/p_jZhpaOKvw Todd Ties are pretty good. At :13 you had a good grip with the left hand and the arm drag with your right hand was there. Just FYI. Guard passing is good but connect your right knee to the hip sooner. Lapel control is good. Arm ride is good, nice choice. At 1:28 you…
https://youtu.be/EHVnGcdLOEM You are both swinging the hands too wildly. Ryan Norris You were standing up a little high swinging too much which is why he got in to the legs. It was an excellent recovery into the double leg off his failed shot. 2 points. You got 3 points on the guard pass also. That…
https://youtu.be/YOwLIFIzOWo Scott The main thing on your stance/ takedowns I see is you let your feet get too far forward at times, in particular when reaching for the collar. Just watch that b/c as you move up in divisions the people will set you up on that. The forced takedown when he was on his…
https://youtu.be/qX0Ot0XYsvE Ethan You had a good defensive stance coming out. At :12 you were over the head. All you have to do is keep walking back and dragging them down to the mat then circle to the back. Make sure you keep your feet back; dont drag them back with your arms and bring them…

This month the beginners are working a common problem we are seeing in class: being stuck in the mount with the arms pinned. We have worked these moves separately into a flow drill that includes a mount escape, guard pass to mount. We have also learned a butterfly sweep counter that teaches the kids to…
Beginner Kids This month we are working on the basics of passing the open guard (ie going around the legs) and controlling the person with side control/ side mount https://youtu.be/dge0x8DgSFo We also did a guard pass to front side control https://youtu.be/ausNwpZv0rI Falling & Getting Up Properly https://youtu.be/gSVRtsw2t9I Advanced Kids Arm Drag Takedown to 1/2 Guard…
The beginning kids classes are working the single leg takedown and some mount drills. Trap & Roll Escape Counter To Choke From Mount followed by great escape. If someone is choking you from the mount you cant hang out there! To the reverse if you happen to have mount and get rolled (which happens when…
