🥋Week 10 Breakdown!🥋
Welcome to our Weekly Breakdown for Week 10 of the Gracie Barra Fundamentals Curriculum! We are excited to jump into week 10 and give you even more techniques to add to your jiu-jitsu game. Adults classes are filled with submissions throughout the week for self-defense and sport jiu-jitsu! Kids are escaping bear hugs, escaping & controlling in mount position, and getting more practice at the Osoto Gari takedown!
🗣️Word of The Week: Patience
In life, patience is important in may aspects. A common phrase is that good things come to those to wait. In jiu-jitsu we need to use patience so that we learn techniques and control in the right ways. Patience is important to develop our own jiu-jitsu, but more importantly, to help others develop their jiu-jitsu as well. At Gracie Barra Saddle Rock, patience isn’t just a trait but a practice that enhances learning, improves performance, and builds a strong, resilient mindset.
Tiny Champions (3-4) & Little Champions 1 (5-6):
Class A
- Self-Defense: Escaping from a rear bear hug by lowering the base, and executing a takedown to gain control.
- Ground Technique: Escape from Mount Position when the arms are pinned down. The method of escaping is all about bridging!
Class B
- Takedown Technique: Osoto Gari takedown(outside hook takedown). Building on last week with good jiu-jitsu grips, the next step is how to apply a good takedown!
- Ground Technique: Additional practice at escaping from bottom mount position.
Little Champions 2 (7-9) & Juniors (10-13):
- Self-Defense: Our older champions will be learning how to escape from a standing rear bear hug over the arms. This is a potentially dangerous position, but with the right technique, our LC2 and Juniors will be able to effectively escape and counter takedown!
- Ground Technique: For sport jiu-jitsu, the primary focus is how to be offensive from mount position!
Class B
- Takedown Technique: Similar to our Tiny Champions and LC1, the older GBK classes will be utilizing our good grips from last week to apply the Osoto Gari takedown!
- Ground Technique: Even more practice at being offensive from mount position!
GB1 Adults & Teens Fundamentals (Tue. & Thu. 6:00pm):
Class A
- Self-Defense: Standing Guillotine choke when someone has tried to grab both legs or attempted a takedown. The guillotine choke is a minimally risky self-defense submission that can keep you safe.
- Ground Technique: Mount Position
- Technique 1: From top mount position, a cross-collar choke. This choke is a familiar move to a lot of you who have been training. It’s a versatile choke that can be used from the bottom and top positions in jiu-jitsu.
- Technique 2: Technique 2 will be a double lapel choke starting in top mount, and transitioning to technical mount. Keeping the collar grip and using the opposite collar to finish the choke.
Class B
- Self-Defense: Escaping from a standing headlock when someone is off to the side and trying to punch. This technique involves keeping your head protected and executing a takedown!
- Ground Technique: Mount Position
- Technique 1: Straight Armbar from top mount.
- Technique 2: Kimura from top mount.
No-Gi GBK, Adults & Teens:
GBK Programs: All of our GBK classes are learning the same techniques this week. This means that the focus for No-Gi will be introducing all the techniques of the week with a No-Gi uniform. As always, this is an important time for them to utilize self-defense techniques with a more realistic approach.
Adults & Teens: For Adults & Teens takedown techniques that involve the Ippon Seoi Nage, or “One Arm Shoulder Throw” will be shown. For sport jiu-jitsu, the focus is around escaping from bottom mount position with a few different variations!
