10. Q & A

The topic of the day was questions and answers.

Every students get to a question and the instructor answers.

Question 1 was the inverted guard.
Size and back problem can make it difficult for the larger players.
However, it is a great guard for avoiding getting your guard passed.
Lot of the lighers are reknown for this modern sport BJJ guard.




 
 
 
 



Question 2 was the hip bump sweep.
The details are in the posting of the hand (and not the elbow) and raising your hips higher than the opponent hips.
Tip: hips as high as his face.



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Question 3 was leg locks.
We compete under IBJJF rules and usually spar using their rules.
Therefore, only straight ankle lock until you get your brown belt.
I demonstrated other leg locks for the students so they can understand the different techniques.
We will slowly introduced them later on but at the moment, students are only allowed straight ankle locks.
When it comes to leg locks, no one sits on the fence,
You either like them or dislike them.
I discussed some of the reasons why they are disliked.
Loss of position in case you failed at your submission.
But also, if we did train them from an earlier stage (white belt), people would be more efficient at finishing with such submissions. Making the first theory invalid!

Well train safe.

Linjian Chan Graduation

  Dear members of the Auckland BJJ community, Today, we gather to celebrate the remarkable achievements of one of our own, Linjian Chen, who has earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Linjian's journey has been unique and inspiring, starting in his 50s and culminating with this incredible achievement. As we honor Linjian's dedication, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to his training, I am reminded of a quote by Bruce Lee, who said, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." Linjian embodies this spirit of action and determination, always pushing himself to be better and never giving up on his goals. Another great quote that comes to mind is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Linjian's journey to this point has been long and challenging, but he has always shown that he has what it takes to succeed. His strength, d...

Antonio Claudio Collares “Tonicão” Jiu Jitsu

I try to not copy other people's articles.  However I made an exception on this one because it is near impossible finding out interview of the master translated in English. Tonicao means big Toni (just in case you wondered). Tonicao gave the black belt to Douglas Santos. Therefore Tonicao is part of our lineage. I got the info from http://klbjj.blogspot.co.nz/2008/06/interview-with-tonicao.html Interview with Tonicao I translated from Portuguese to English and made some corrections. INTERVIEW WITH TONICÃO The first developer of Jiu - Jitsu in Santa Catarina, this black belt (almost red and black) of 54 years well lived, 30 of them devoted to the Jiu - Jitsu , is definitely a person with a lot of histories . An extremely "good people", that captivates people in 10 minutes of conversation, no exception to the questions and plays with death. Enjoy the result of this pleasant conversation with the "Master Tonicão " which lasted an...
