We want to invite everyone to come out and watch the UFC fights this Saturday evening. We will plan on getting together at 8:00pm at the gym. Families are invited. Please bring something comfortable to sit in. We usually all bring something for everyone to snack and your own drinks. We will also be taking donations to help pay for the fight. Come and support Travis Lutter as he destroys Rich Franklin. Go Travis!
See you all Saturday night!
I just wanted to congratulate the following guys for their recent promotion to blue belt.
April Kids Curriculum
Takedown: Single Leg (ankle pick, shoulder pressure)
Notes: Inside knee down, outside knee is up and behind to create leverage.
Right hand is grabbing back of thigh, left hand cupping heel. Use shoulder
pressure and leg drive to take them down.
Escape: Mount Escape (arm trap and bridge)
Notes: Get hands up at 45 degree angle to block initial punches. Use knee to
break opponents balance and then trap arm. Trap same side leg, bridge opponent
forward and then over.
Reversal: Simple Sweep
Notes: From full guard establish your grips on opponents lapel and wrist. Drop
legs and move hip out. Slide knee into opponents stomach (maintain hook on opponents hip),
outside leg is hooking opponent’s leg. Bring opponent forward and then scissor legs to sweep.
Submission: Key Lock
Notes: Create the lock and take slack out of opponents arm/shoulder by pulling hands in
and your elbow close to opponents head. Sweep the mat with your opponents wrist in
a circular motion.
I just wanted to let everyone know that we still have some open slots for the seminar this Saturday the 12th from 10:00am - 12:00pm. The cost of the seminar is $50. The cost is well worth it. You will learn from one of the best BJJ instructors in the world. Right after the seminar the following students will be receiving their blue belts: James Price, Steve Myers, Darreyl Harmon and Craig Ferguson. Please come and support them for this occasion.
