Day 4: NJ United Kids Summer Camp

Day four started with the kids working their escapes from the bottom position in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Class. We had a great game of king/queen of the closed guard, where students have to practice their sweeps from the bottom position to reverse their opponents. These kids are getting really, really good, it’s amazing to see how fast they learn!

Coach Rusty Reed was back to teach another killer Wrestling Class Thursday at 11:00am. We went over some simple setups to the single leg takedown, with a few different ways to put your opponent on their back. Coach Sean will be back tomorrow afternoon to help tie together everything we’ve learned this week!

After lunch Coach Dominyka gave the kids an Arts & Crafts Class in “Origami,” an ancient Japanese art of paper folding to create a finished sculpture. Each student added their own personality into their “Origami” creation! It was a fun class for sure!

We wrapped up the day learning one of the most powerful moves in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the triangle choke. The kids then played a rapid fire king/queen of the closed guard game, and everyone really trained super hard. These ninjas and spartans have put some serious time in improving their jiu jitsu skills! Looking forward to tomorrow!
