Sunday 09/10/2005 Mixed Martial Arts
Another tiny class, once again making me question the validity of running such a class? Today there were only 7 on the mat and by the end of submission grappling there were more sitting out than grappling. I must take time to give huge props to Kat. Today she was the only girl on the mat and she took it to everyone she grappled with. While others sit out and rest, she kept jumping in and rolled with anyone who would face her! Well done Kat, great leg bar defense and nice controlling from the side...
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals.
Bright sunny day outside, and still we had 22 on the mat! Including 4 new members Today we went over some of the basic escapes from the Blue Belt syllabus. Stuff that is for the 4th stripe.
Starting with the Basic escape from Knee ride. Our opponent secures Knee Ride with their right knee on our belly, but we have both of our arms free. We first control their scanning leg with our right hand, then we post our left hand in their belly. Locking our left arm straight we hip away and then post on our right elbow and come to our knees, our left arm must be locked straight throughout the whole procedure.
Then we covered a variation on that escape. This time we control their calf/ankle and hip away until we gain our knees directly in front of them. Using our right hand on their ankle we pull sharply back and drive our head in their belly to the left, flattening them onto their backs and securing side control.
We then covered the 3 basic escapes from headlock control.
1. Escape to their back, using our hook to snag their leg and driving them face first to the mat as we gain our knees and escape out the back
2. Escape to our knees, this time we control their far arm and go to our knees behind them, then we drive them to their left and secure side control
3. Rolling escape. They have our arm trapped and have us flat on our back; we secure our hands behind them and shift our spine angle to counter their control of our base. From there, we bridge hard over our head and then roll to our left and secure side control.
All in all a couple of great classes..
