Jujitsu 2022 Notes

Questions?

Setup → Position → Submission? Does this apply to all techniques?

Issues

I only have one side-control escape.
I only have one escape from under full mount.
Basic submissions aren’t muscle memory yet. Need more drilling.
Beginners can interrupt me and cancel my submission attempt while I’m trying to remember the next step of the submission.
I attempt submissions from the wrong positions (often when the position changes I commit to a submission I decided on)

Missing from my Jiujitsu.

Beginner:

Americana from Mount
- Hold the wrist and elbow when the partner defends → Drop your weight.

- Slide one knee to close to the partner’s head
- Keep your weight on your partner
- Push down (Push up)
- Legs will make an S-position
  - Keep the weight on the partner by balancing forward as you have a tendency to pull all the weight backward leaving your front open with zero pressure when you move your legs into position.
- Hug both your partner’s arms.
- Place your other leg on top of your partner → Secure the shoulder and apply armbar.
Americana from mount variation partner straightens the arm.

End of free trial week.

Beginners Class:

Open Guard: Moving with your elbows
Open Guard: Maintaining
Open Guard: Technical Stand-Up

Notes:

I need to get used to holding the guard position longer.
I can rock back and forth to conserve energy
Remember to breathe
Pull your knees closer, so you don’t expend as much energy. Holding your legs out longer exhausts your core faster. Only extend your legs if you need to.
Coach Mike encouraged me to strengthen my core. Hollow rock, leg raise, L-Sit

Note: Open mat is free. Doesn’t use up my 12 sessions.
