This week inside Dynamic MMA--March 4-8

Did you know that if you train in our Kodokan Judo progam that you are part of a very short line from the foundation of the art? Jigoro Kano was the founder of Kodokan Judo in 1882. His last surviving 10th dan student was Kyuzo Mifune (author of Canon of Judo), and 9th dan student was Kazuzo Kudo (author of Dynamic Judo). Mifune and Kudo were the main instructors at the Kodokan for Yuzo Kato. Yuzo Kato was the instructor for Alexenko, Larry Keith, Olga Keith, and Tony Pepe. Alexenko and Larry Keith both received their black belts from Yuzo Kato.

Bow and Arrow choke from several key positions. This is becoming a favorite in both our Judo and Jiu-jitsu programs.

Dynamic throws--We will work through some common contest throws that are too often practiced in a static situation. When applied with the use of momentum, these throws become even more awesome!

Technique of the week

Technique of the week:





I have had a few people asking about solo training. I really encourage stability ball training. There are many things that can be done to help supplement your grappling game by using this tool. If you have questions and would like to learn some drills, ask any of our instructors. Here is a video of Jeff Glover demonstrating some advanced techniques.

Inside Dynamic MMA--February 4-8

Reminder: We are having a referral rewards contest this month. If you refer a friend and that friend enrolls, you will receive $50 cash. At the end of the contest, the student with the most enrolled referrals will receive a new Jiu-jitsu uniform. The contest ends February 28th. After the 28th, our regular referral rewards program will resume. Be sure to ask your instructors for more information.

The 24 Day Challenge using AdvoCare

I would like to invite all our members and friends to try the 24 day challenge. It is a great way to shed a few pounds, but it is not entirely about weight loss. It's also about overall well-being. As athletes, it is difficult to get adequate nutrition to support muscle preservation, joint support, and a strong immune system. AdvoCare makes products that I have personally seen great results from. The money spent on junk food that is killing us could easily be used to better our health using products such as these. If you would like to learn more about AdvoCare and/or the 24 Day Challenge, be sure to let Olga or myself know. --Larry Keith--

This week inside Dynamic MMA--January 21-25

Wow! What an exciting week this is going to be. We're going to be doing some hard work and have a lot of fun with some cool technical training. 

Thank you to everyone that helped out with our Judo demo and Dynamic MMA booth at the Roseburg Valley Mall for the 2013 Health and Fitness Expo. The demos were great. It was fun having some mats in the middle of the mall for a day. 

I don't have all the results yet, but it sounds like our team did well at the Ground Warrior tournament as well. I do know that Ian King won first place in his gi division by submitting all of his opponents and had a spectacular throw. Congratulations, Ian!

Here is what we are doing this week

Kodokan Judo

Monday-Thursday

Numerous escape options from Hon-kesa-gatame. After this week, there should be no reason any of our Judoka should get caught in this pin.

Tuesday-Friday

O-uchi-gari used to set up many other combination throws. There is a reason we have had everyone learning ko-uchi and o-uchi. Not only are they great throws, they are a great tool to get a reaction from the opponent to set up follow up attacks. 
 

Mixed Martial Arts

Monday-Thursday

RWT (Russian Wrestling Techniques)--Takedowns using underhook and wrist control. We are also going to practice getting the underhook from the Russian 2 on 1 arm tie.

Tuesday-Friday 

RWT (Russian Wrestling Techniques)--We will be returning to the Russian 2 on 1 arm tie series. I love this grip and use a version of it with gi grappling as well. It gives the thrower a great positional advantage. Learn it!

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

Monday-Thursday

We will work a handful of defenses vs the standard side mount and preventing the full mount. These techniques work very well. You can prevent points from being scored and put your self in better position for sweeps/submissions.

Tuesday-Friday

Submissions from bottom guard. These subs are not too fancy but have high success. We'll be practicing a few ways to set up armlocks and triangles. 

Muay Thai Kickboxing

Monday-Thursday

Good workouts planned this week. We will be going over using thrust kicks in combinations and counter kick strategies. 

Tuesday-Friday

Working for dominant clinch position is of paramount importance in Muay Thai. We will go over and drill many variations of gaining or regaining control.

--I think this sounds like a very fun week at the dojo. We have fighters training to fight on February 23rd in Salem. We will be putting them through a very tough training camp. 

I hope everyone has a great week. See you in the dojo!

OSS!
