This week inside Dynamic MMA--March 18-22

We have had a great time with the kids from St Paul's Lutheran School, teaching P.E. to them the last two Thursdays. The kids will be with us again this Thursday. This week, we will teach stranger danger and bully prevention. At the end of the class, kids will get to break a board. 

Next week is Spring Break. We will be offering a Spring Break Camp at the dojo during the week of March 25-29 for kids 6-17. Kids can use this time off school to improve their skills and have fun at the dojo. Watch for times and cost to be announced soon. 

Sambo Week

"Sambo" is an acronym for SAMooborona Bez Oruzhiya--which is the Russian term for "defense without weapons". It is the hand to hand combat system developed in the early 1920s for the Soviet Red Army. It includes striking, throws, and submissions. It is probably most widely known for the leg-lock techniques employed.  

This week for our adult classes will be "Sambo Week". Our MMA and BJJ classes will be going over many variations of leg locks. Nowhere else will you find the quality or variety of leg-lock tactics taught at Dynamic MMA. 

Our adult Judo class will also cover how to incorporate Sambo style throws into their arsenal. 

Kodokan Judo

Monday-Thursday

Illegal throws in Judo but legal in BJJ and Sambo.

Tuesday-Friday

Russian style groundwork and submissions.

Pankration Mixed Martial Arts

Monday-Thursday

Knee bars, knee bars, and more knee bars. The knee bar can be applied from many positions and in combination with other attacks. 

Tuesday-Friday

Heel hooks. This is potentially a devastating submission. It is banned in amateur MMA here in Oregon as well as Jiu-jitsu tournaments. If officials, trainers, and students become more educated in this technique, it could prevent injuries and be allowed back into those competitions.  

Jiu-jitsu

Monday-Thursday

Ankle lock entries and positional control.

Tuesday-Friday

Knee bars from a variety of positions. 

Muay Thai/Kickboxing

Monday-Thursday

Rhythm drills with focus mitts. This is a great way to develop accuracy, speed, and timing your defense/offense combinations. 

Tuesday-Friday

Closing the distance for the clinch or short range strikes. We love to work the clinch, we love to use elbows and knee strikes, but how do we get into that range. Here are some ways.
