AKL BJJ Combatives and Self Defense

Introduction: Basic theory

Play your game, not someone else's game (a.k.a don't punch)
4 prerequisites of a strong punch and how to deny them:

Distance (feasibility)
Freedom of movement (feasibility)
Multiple muscle group (power delivery)

Part 1: Stand up fight

Punches

Requires gloves and protection to avoid injuries
Basic punch blocks
Punches to the head (bracing for impact)
Taking kicks and groin protection

Shooting in

Either all the way in or all the way out, get close and stay close
common mistakes (stopping in the middle, back our, Judo throw stalling etc.)
"Aggressive" opponent - Combative technique
'Hesitant" opponent - Combative technique
Haymaker - Combative technique

Transition to the ground

Basic takedown from the shoot, followed by a basic pass. Main point is to stay close
Defending a head lock - Combative technique

Part 2: On the ground

Recognizing 4 prerequisites on the ground and dealing with them.
Staying close (passes and from the back - beware of head movement)
Combative techniques - Stage 1-5 (from holding close to a small distance)
Lots of practice

Serjiy will be teaching this program on Saturday 29/10/22 from AM to our students.

We are planning to host a self defense class open the community on a monthly basis in the future.
