If you didnāt have to worry about work, family or any other personal obligations, how many times a week would be your ideal number of days to train?Ā
Time for the question of the week! Do you have a game plan for your training sessions? For me more recently Iāve been finding myself working on certain positions that Iām trying to get better at so I will put myself in those positions as much as possible during rounds. How do you plan your training sessions? Let me know below!Ā
What do you like about your favorite training partners? What makes them your favorite?
What class would you create?
If you made a class, what would it be? What would the objective be? Who would want to go?
I think a āCombat Jiujitsuā class would be pretty cool. When you introduce the open palm strikes, you really have to focus on control and positioning before you can think about submissions. A wise man once told me, āif youāre doing jiujitsu correctly, your opponent wonāt be able to strike you.ā I also like the old school vibe of āYou canāt do anything I donāt let you.ā Plus it seems to be pretty traditional. Iāve heard stories of dojo storming in the old days where they would make the blue belt control the challenger and submit them by slaps because you had to pay for lessons to witness the submissions.Ā

His system revolves around controlling the opponentās outside leg, off-balancing them, and relying on timing rather than raw strength to execute clean sweeps.
