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…
For the intro kids class we are reviewing basic grip breaks. They can be found in this post below. We also added the additional curriculum including getting up in base and shooting immediately.

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…

This month we are working on the back. We are also learning the double leg takedown for those who don’t know it, since we’ve been working on the single leg a lot. It’s important to note a distinct difference in the double and single leg takedowns; In the double leg the head goes on the…
We are working on a lot of new things this month. Beginner kids are working on the basics of side control: holding side control when someone bridges towards you, away from you, pushes the throat, etc. This should be a review for advanced kids. Advanced kids are reviewing and spending time on submissions and combinations….
This month we are continuing the things we learned last month. Last month we did some sweeps from the open guard, and now we must learn how to pass the guard. Passing the guard takes a long time to learn, as in jiu jitsu there are many guards. Statistically you spend 80% of your time…
We worked a slightly different takedown starting this month. The beginner kids are working on grip breaks and stance to start. It is important to learn to break grips not only for self defense, but also because in Jiu Jitsu, everything starts with the grip. https://youtu.be/ieudmOEo3Lo https://youtu.be/bkmPGmljkBI https://youtu.be/Vea7hJsNbks https://youtu.be/IeHOkmvlY9A https://youtu.be/mNFaB1h3t8U https://youtu.be/B7YOhT6LARg We combined one stance…
