A Globetrotters BJJ homie visitor, Robert Barker came by… fun fun. 5 min warm-up and chain drilling. We then reviewed a few Gi strangles with the sliding collar, wing, bow, then a transition to a paper cutter strangle. We then finished with 5×5 min rounds of rolling, the first few was chess.

Warm-up, stretching with the wife and baby hanging out. That fun… 🙂
Decent class with a nice warm-up from Nathan. Then the 25 push-ups, 50 squats, and then 25 knee-downs from me.
Interesting split this particular day lol… but we always cater to our crowd. Got a few of the guys to drill a pass with chaining positions and submissions we’ve been working on, while Nathan showed the newbies some basics.
#newbs
I remember when I was a white belt… Kid Lightning and our head Coach choking and triangling the crap outa me.
#ibuprofen #ohboy #didigetdecentattriangledefense?
We reviewed the paper cutter choke/strangle again since this was a different set of guys. Then we finished with 20 mins of king of the mat where you start in someones closed guard. Winner stays in OTM on his back for the first 10, then it was inside someone’s guard for the next 10 for the winner.

#heavyweights
Irony was that the class was full of the heavy weights lol. 15 mins hard warm-up, 45 mins of with the knee slice pass and chained submission drilling. 15 mins review of 2 paper cutter variations, first from the north south, then second from knee-on-belly. We then finished with 3 x 5 min rounds of rolling, think they were fairly tough rounds lol.
Either way it was a productive class.
Ossss

Just a guy blabbing about BJJ and his personal useless journey lol…
July 10/16 Sunday BJJ

#BJJ4LIFE
What can I say… had a couple Saturday night watching the MMA fights, lol just a couple. The fights were decent, guys and gal putting it on the line. To be honest haven’t watched too much UFC since I started training BJJ seriously.
#Madrespect.
Getting punched in the face for a living sucks. Either you give it, or your going to get it… that’s why I started BJJ to not continue getting punched in the face. It sucks, believe me lol. Training jiu-jitsu you can either be the hammer, the nail or just flow and tap. Striking, its either the one or the other, can’t really tap to striking with someone, especially in an MMA, kick-boxing or even boxing training session, getting punched in the face is all kinda part of it.

15 min warm up run by my hoime Dr Shat Hatton!! Then I got us to do 45 mins of drilling self-defense tactics with a counter from a right hook with a back take sacrifice takedown & a counter from right round house to the leg with a inside leg sweep to an Estima foot lock. Nathan then got us to review a few deadly school yard headlock escapes. After that we reviewed a closed guard cross collar strangle variation. We then had a couple 10 min rounds of rolling, with just positional stuff for one of the girls to improve her mount and turtling sensitivity.
Sweeping and mat cleanliness, with some stretching before the homies showed up…
Great class!
With a great smaller group of people who just want to train!
#Ossss
See you OTM next Saturday, hopefully lol!!

Sat May 30/15 BJJ
Word… got to the gym at 1:45 pm.
Some guys on the weights
Morgo was in with a guest from the US.
Warm up was short with a a few variation of an ankle pick with a collar tie. Technique involved a slip collar choke transition switch to preposition to the opposing size when your partner defends by moving to the opposite side of the over hook and with your partner turtling to defend. Keith was in for a bit, and he showed us a few variants of the take down which was nice. My favorite was collar tie to a mount guillotine.
Myself, Morgan, Aria, Scotty P, Big Rig, New guy white belt Alex with the nice blue GI…
Luke was late missing the warm-up per usual.
LOVE CHOKE’s
For the remainder of the class we position-ally drilled the back exercise with 2 minute rounds, you on me, then me on you exercise, until everyone had an opportunity to go with everyone. Similar to Submission Challenges or even EBI’s sudden death or over time rounds.
We tried with full lapel grips first… no dice.
