Back to the basics--Inside Dynamic MMA this week

This week we are working fundamental skills. We all need reminded of proper stance, footwork, positional control, and finite details from time to time. 

"A black belt is merely an expert at fundamentals"

Monday and Tuesday--

Mixed Martial Arts--

We will be working the pads quite a bit. Bring your MMA gloves and shin pads if you wish. 

Kodokan Judo--

We will be working variations of morote-seoi-nage. This is a throw that every Judoka should be proficient at. 

Jiu-jitsu--

We will be practicing a few escapes from the mount position. These are basic techniques that everyone claims to be good at until they are stuck in the bottom position. Drill, drill, drill...

Thursday and Friday--

Mixed Martial Arts--

Guard passing and guard sweeps. These are part of the foundation of being a quality mixed martial artist. If you're not proficient at guard passes and sweeps, you shouldn't even consider competition in MMA or submission grappling. 

Kodokan Judo--

Defending against Tate-shiho-gatame. You have 25 seconds to escape.

Jiu-jitsu--

Various straight arm locks from the guard position. Having an aggressive guard begins with having choices from the guard. 

50/50 guard

Dynamic MMA will be closed this Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving weekend.

On Monday and Tuesday, we will be going over some crafty entries into the 50/50 guard or what I like to call the "outside saddle". These are classes you don't want to miss if you want to learn more about lower body positional control and leg locks.

See you at the dojo!
 

This week--

This week I will not blog what we are working on in our classes. DFCC team members will be fighting on the 12th at Seven Feathers Casino in the "Caged Conflict" event. I do not want to give our fight team's opponents any clue as to what our strategies are.

Anyway, rest assured that what we are working on will be fun, challenging, and highly functional.

Be sure to get your tickets to the Caged Conflict event either on the Seven Feathers website or at the Seven Feathers Box Office. The tickets are going fast, so get your soon.

Also, be sure to order your DFCC T-shirt to show support for our fight team.
