This week, we’re continuing our work on the Back Control System.

We’re building on what we’ve already established, focusing not only on defending and escaping, but also on controlling, maintaining, and attacking from the back.

This is a great opportunity to revisit and reinforce the concepts, techniques, and details we worked on last week before progressively moving forward into a deeper exploration of back control.

The goal is to develop a better understanding of the position as a complete system, from defense and survival to control, transitions, and effective attacks.

A significant portion of the training will focus on drilling and position training from both defensive and offensive perspectives. Some would argue that Back Control is one of the most challenging positions to control, but also to escape from. November will be dedicated to building and refining this system, with a particular emphasis on managing the back. 

Judo all the way

Pete is digging deep. 

I usually focus on connection first, whether it’s a collar tie, wrist control, or some kind of grip. But after that workshop with Coach Dan, I’d say we need to work on all three. Grips, posture, and distance all play a role, and if one is off, the whole thing can fall apart. Always something to work on!

This is a simple one for me... "don't quit!"

Starting Turtle system in Adult Jiu Jitsu classes. This could be a game changer for you. Just show up! 

I love studying and analyzing Jiu-Jitsu. My preferred method usually starts with watching video and studying the details, followed by taking notes, drilling the techniques, and then applying what I’ve learned during live sparring.

For me, the real learning happens when I can connect those four pieces, study, notes, drilling, and live application. Sparring gives me the opportunity to test the concepts, see what works, and understand where I need to make adjustments.

Great week ahead of us. Adult Jiu Jitsu program will continue with osoto gari and kimura lock system. This week will be huge. Be there !
