I gained a bunch of weight and picking up weights and putting them down didn’t sound interesting to me especially since I have a physical job already. 

After some research I came in and signed up.

Rickson, Akins, Heuter, Garcia…..I don’t think these guys will be traveling or teaching for too much longer. Their techniques are the old school, minimal movement stuff. I think Heuter would be a riot to sit around a campfire and bs with about coming up when he did. Marcelo is a GOAT and would be cool to hang around with. 

Any where that is cool enough to train outside and have a bonfire at night would be good with me.

Loading people up for sweeps, it seems so backwards to logical thinking. Once that clicked…I really started looking to bait people into sweeps. 🧹

NO CHICKEN WINGS! 🐓

I’d agree, smaller movements and adjustments are better than large explosive movements. 

I kept getting triangled as well, I quickly learned that if you try to pull your head out you’ll get cauliflower ear. 🙉

If you’re getting stuck in closed guard this is definitely the week you don’t want to miss, fundamentals will have you escaping in no time!

Defense the first half of the week and offense the second half of the week. Fundamentals shouldn’t be missed this week!

What escape has saved or helped you the most? 

When I started BJJ I watched a video and they said white belts should be masters at escaping and it really stuck with me.  (It was a Gracie, I don’t remember who. Extra points if you know) 

My tip for escaping is; most people will concentrate so hard on pinning the upper body that they forget about your hips and legs. If you can swing these, you can frame with your legs and elongate your body (something else I think people forget about) 

Soooo….whats your tip for escaping?

Escaping is the name of the game this week in fundamental classes. 

Hope to see you in class!
