How many more gis do I really need???

I ♥️ NEONBELLY

At first glance, this armbar technique seems more complex than from guard or mount, but with enough reps, I find it easier to get and a more assertive version too!

Omoplata / Omoplata sweep!!!

Holy limping legs Batman! That one burned!

When should you tap to a Kimura in training?

I feel like this is the only thing I train where I leave class feeling like there has been no impact on my joints, but wake up in the middle of the night with my shoulders on fire! Also, what is your favorite ice pack???

It’s one of my favorite attacks too! I don’t often get it, but it opens the door to a plethora of other submissions and sweeps I do get. 

How do I know my jiujitsu is effective????

Kimura’s are one of my favorite fundamentals! It is simple, effective, and a gateway to a series of submissions or sweeps. I believe the easiest way to learn a solid Kimura is from side control. Once you have this down, you can translate it to a variety of situations. 

Two fun weeks in a row!the other side of the same coin, we go from double leg takedowns to sprawls. I can’t decide which I like more: shooting a single/ double leg or sprawling on someone and taking their back!

Which do you prefer? Do you go for the takedown or do you prefer to react to your opponent?

This week we will be building off the self defense techniques we just worked on. After defending ourselves, we learned to set ourselves up in the dominant and very assertive knee-on-belly position. This leads us into my favorite variations of the arm bar that I believe are tighter than the classic versions. 

Remember: you have the right to protect yourself, the best way to do that is to remove yourself from the situation.
