White belt must know technique’s  on the menu  this week.  Starting with getting your opponent to the ground using Osoto-Gari a highly effective judo throw.  Once they are the ground we will be working on some Kimura attacks to control and submit are training partners.

For me that’s a hard question to answer.  Everyday we wake up is a win because we get another chance to grow and become the best version of ourselves.  A win on the mat could be as simple as showing up to train when you don’t want to. Or maybe a technique finally clicks that you may have been struggling with.

I have been playing around with Dela riva guard with some lasso guard sprinkled in.  Great way for me to off balance my training partner and sweeping them.

for me definitely self defense!  In my humble opinion once We develop a solid understanding of the fundamentals principles of base, connection and distance management that can carry over to the sport side.. I’ll watch guys like Roger Gracie, Kron and Rickson Gracie and watch them beat guys with fundamentals.

Question of the week.  If you could push the reset button and go back to the very beginning of your jiu Jitsu training. What if anything would you do differently?

I would make it a point to practice the technique’s being taught each week on both sides Meaning the dominant side where we are most comfortable executing the technique and than switching to the less dominant side which for me was always a struggle.

Hey everyone I’ll be showing a very effective way to pass your partners guard using the knee cut. This has been my favorite pass or the last couple of years. I’ll show you how to handle the knee shield and other obstacles that may arise when you’re trying to execute this pass. See you Tuesday night.

For me it would be chaining closed guard submissions together.

Here’s the question of the week.  How do you train to stay calm and composed under extreme pressure, like in bad positions?  Getting smashed  or pretty close to being submitted.
