Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 101, 9/6/15

Today, we had a solid turnout of 20 students on the mat! We continued our theme-of-the-week (guillotine escape to Von Flue choke, and headlock-escapes from standing), but we also mixed things up a bit. It’s wise to keep your self-defense basics sharp, so we did a few drills in which our training partners were at liberty to surprise us with any hold that we’ve escaped from during previous weeks. After all, you can’t always predict how an attacker is going to attack, so your training should be practical in the sense that it keeps you ready for anything. Great job and good open-mat training, everyone!
