Wondering what's going on this week at ROL? 🤔 2/11/24


Gi All Levels

Welcome to week #16. This week in Gi All Levels our focus is on Side Control. We will be going over two Headlock variations. First when our opponent is leaning forward, and then when our partner is leaning back. Finally, we will finish off with a simple yet very important transition. It’s important not to overlook even the seemingly simplest of techniques because even the smallest details can have a big impact on your growth. With that being said, it's going to be an awesome week! See you there!

Gi All Levels

Welcome to week #15. This week in Gi All Levels our focus is on the Back Control, but more specifically the Turtle position.

Then we will be focusing on Escaping from Turtle, starting off with the Turtle Escape - Knee Grip and finishing off strong with the Turtle Escape - Outside Arm. That transition and both Escapes will surely take your Jiu Jitsu to the next level.
