Friday Grappling

Two students showed up friday. YAY!!! =)

As they were beginners, and about the same size, I had them work on the under arm / stacking pass.  It is the most involved pass, due to the number of steps that you have to get right.  Not the most complex thing in jujitsu.  So, once they learn this, they know how to escape guard and pass someone’s guard.

After studying the technique in detail for about an hour, we switched to guard passing drills. They of course were muscling their way through the technique, by throwing the legs over their head and diving to side control. /me sighs =)

Saturday's Training

On Saturday, February, 15th, a group of 8 men got together at the Eureka Valley Rec Center (aka Castro Rec Center) and studied grappling.  The interesting part of as the teacher is that I usually find some little detail about grappling that I've missed during Carley's instruction.

There wasn't much time after we got the matts rolled out, cleaned, dried, and then stretched.  With the hour we had, I dedicated the class to teaching the beginning students about the Underarm Pass or Staking Pass, to taking side control, and then performing an Arm Bar.  We also looked at 2 escapes: 1st) from the under arm pass, and the 2nd) from side control.

Everyone had a fun time learning and reviewing the technique.

By far the best and easily understandable video I can find on getting the triangle choke through a stacking counter.

Shoulder-walk backwards,

Prevent the opponent from crossing the centre-line.

Next, I'll have to drill this tomorrow.
