News Flash - 2 Special Guests For Saturdays Classes

Hi guys, 

I have just spoken to Arlans and he told me that Nick (Blue Belt & Muscle Man) will driving him down on Saturday to take part in the Kettle Bell session and the bjj training up to midday.

PLEASE NOTE: This will depend on the following:

1. Nick waking up early on a Saturday (which rarely happens)

2. Nick picking Arlans up on time (Nick is always late)

3.Arlans waking up early (Arlans operates to Brazilian time)

Fingers crossed they will both be there. As always, everyone is welcome to come and train.

Cheers

Guard Passing Tonight & a Disclaimer.....

Morning guys,

Just wanted to let you know we will be reviewing guard passes tonight and then be doing some guard pass drills - this is a really important part of BJJ training as it allows us to focus on breaking, passing and securing a position if you are on top and attacking if you are on the bottom.

Here are some guard pass videos from Arlans to get you in the groove, however PLEAEE NOTE I cannot take any responsibility for your actions if you try these techniques in your office on your 'favourite' work colleagues....

See you tonight guys, 7.30pm.

Turtle Position From Last Night & Pilates Tonight Cancelled - Sorry For the Late Notice

Hi guys,

Hope you guys enjoyed the turtle position attacks and defence last night, the arm bar using the shin against the back of our opponents head is one of my favourite submissions as it is high percentage and doesn't require much strength.

Unfortunately the Scouts need the venue tonight so Pilates for this week is cancelled - keep stretching it will be back next week!

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Spot the Banana Competition, Tonight's BJJ Class Technique & Helicopter Arm bar.

Hi Guys,

Hope you all had a great weekend.

First of all just wanted to start the week with a competition, the first person that can spot the banana in the following picture will win a prize.......

In tonight's class we will be drilling takedowns again, however this time we will also be looking at sprawling too. In addition to this we will also be discussing the knee on belly attack - securing the position and then an arm bar, key-lock and choke from the position.

As discussed at the end of Saturdays BJJ class, here is MIchael Russell (the youngest British Black Belt and top guy) executing the Helicopter Arm Bar  at the Kent Open a couple of years ago against Andy Roberts. Both these guys are great competitors.

See you all tonight 7:45pm.

Tonight's BJJ Class - Mount Escape & Guard Pass

Hi Guys,

Tonight we will be drilling a mount escape that results in your opponent ending up in your guard, I really like this escape as it is allows you to attack your opponent as soon as you escape, instead of with the other Mount escape I showed you where you end up in your opponents guard.

I also want to drill a super effective guard pass that Arlans showed me last night, for me the big benefit of this guard pass is that it allows you to effectively secure your opponent through out the technique, therefore allowing you to take your time and let them burn energy as they struggle to escape.

I also want to revisit the two basic guard passes we have previously discussed, the more we do it the more fluid they will be.

I will be drilling these techniques individually and also in a sequence, starting from mount, the person on the bottom escapes and then then the person on top passes the guard. 

We will also be continuing to get comfortable with takedowns, which in my opinion as the biggest challenge for non judo and non wrestling students (like me), and for this reason, if you can crack a few techniques, the biggest advantage you can have.

See you tonight at 7.30pm
