Slap and Bump
That sounds dirty when I type it out. Lol. But I really just wanted to jot down some ideas on the bjj hand slap and fist bump prevalent in most schools I've trained.
The slap and bump is more than just an "alright, go!" The slap and bump is a sign of respect for your partner akin to a bow in more traditional martial arts. It's a way of saying to your partner, "let's agree to test our skill and technique against each other in a friendly match until one of us yields."
My Silver medal match at Newbreed Jacksonville 2019 (win).
My gold medal match at Newbreed Jacksonville 2019 (loss).
I started out just to add someone who was there but not in the photo. Then someone else wanted to be there. Then I wanted to be there. Then I decided that everyone should have been there! Master group photo!
Last night we practiced the Gracie punch block series, Stages 1 thru 4 and added some submission options from Stage 1 (reverse arm bar) and Stage 2 (triangle and a modified triangle). The modified triangle is so awesome for when they hide their arm so you can't get it across your body.
