6:00pm: Gracie Combatives® (our entry-level adult program)

We work quite a bit on controlling a standing opponent from "The Clinch" and strategically taking them to the ground. But, sometimes it can be difficult to get ahold of, or control, an opponent if they are particularly larger, stronger, or perhaps effective at striking.

By employing the the Double Leg Takedown we are able to take our opponent to the ground by incorporating the element of surprise, as well as momentum and leverage, to overcome any size and strength disparities, while also minimizing the amount of time we spend in striking range.

Tonight, we will begin by dissecting and drilling the Double Leg Takedown.

Once we have strategically taken them to the ground and have established top position, we may very likely find ourselves in their "Guard".

"Passing the Guard" can be a very nuanced challenge. And passing the guard in an actual "fight" situation is very different than passing the Guard in a non-striking "sport-minded" setting.

Tonight, we will also explore a variety of reality-based, street self-defense strategies to safely and effectively open our opponents Guard, pass it, and establish a dominant, top position while avoiding strikes, armlocks, chokes, etc.

Tonight at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu - STREET READY Self Defense®

6:00pm: Gracie Combatives® (our entry-level adult program)
Tonight's Focus: We've previously explored using various "Shrimp Escapes" - when an attacker/opponent is on top & controlling us from a cross-lateral, side-mounted position - to transition to the more advantageous "Guard position" where we are able to protect ourselves from strikes while we await, or create, opportunities to reverse positions and get on top, or simply end the encounter from our back using a number of armlocks, shoulder locks, and chokeholds.

Tonight, we will focus on a few variations of "Elbow Escapes" that can also be implemented to transition to The Guard, when an opponent/attacker attempts to advance from a side-mounted position to fully mounting on top of us.

6:00pm: Gracie Combatives® (our entry-level adult program)
Tonight's Focus: When on our back, with an opponent/attacker on top of us, we've learned how "The Guard" position (as WE implement it) greatly enables us to protect ourselves from strikes while we await, or create, opportunities to reverse positions and end up on top of our opponent or to simply end the fight/encounter right from our back, using a number of different chokes and armlocks.

The Kimura Armlock is one easy and extremely effective means of isolating our opponent/attackers arm - from our back - and allowing us to gain their compliance or essentially annihilate their rotator cuff/shoulder joint, ending the encounter one way or the other...

Tonight we will learn several variations of the Kimura Armlock from The Guard.

Tonight at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu - STREET READY Self Defense®

6:00pm: Gracie Combatives® (our entry-level adult program)

Continuing our focused series of headlock defenses, escapes, and counters - because, as we know, on the streets headlocks happen! A LOT! (Second only to punches!) Therefore, in our Gracie Combatives® Program, we address them accordingly.

In previous lessons we dealt with a standing opponent who wraps our neck in a headlock, attempting to pull us to the ground underneath them - and we learned how we can use their commitment to the headlock to our advantage.

Tonight, we will continue our ongoing focused series of defenses, escapes, and counters that can be employed when an attacker/opponent wraps our neck in a headlock from various ground positions.

We continue exploring advanced submissions from side mount.

When it comes to "worst case scenarios", having a bigger, stronger attacker/opponent mounted on top of you is just about at the top of the list!

Without a sound plan, as well as proficiency in implementing it... well, let's just say things could get really ugly. But, once you develop a strategic, TESTED & PROVEN plan, as well as proficiency in it's implementation, you WILL become more confident & comfortable and "worst case scenarios" such as this will cease to exist!

Join us tonight as we spend focused time strategically working our way through this very scenario.
