Curriculum
Muay Thai
Fundamentals
Leg Kicks – Leg kicks are some of the most powerful moves in Muay Thai. They soften up your opponents legs, making them slow and clumsy in their footwork, opening up the rest of your attacks.
Leg Kick Counters – Getting kicked is no fun. If you don’t believe me, watch Ernesto Hoost destroy people’s legs in K1. Learn how to avoid taking damage while taking advantage of your opponents position.
Intermediate
BJJ – Passing and Escaping
Fundamentals
Basic Single Leg Takedown – The Single Leg is one of the most fundamental moves to any stand up game. However it is more technical than one might think at first. Time to learn the subtleties of how to control this dynamic position!
Guard Passing From The Knees – Guard Passing is arguably the most foundational set of techniques you learn in Jiu Jitsu. When you hear people talking they designate your BJJ game in one of two ways: either your a guard passer or a guard player. This week it’s time to be a passer! Come learn how to get around that tough guard of your partner’s so you can begin to work your attacks and submissions.
Intermediate
Scarf Hold Escapes – This is one of the most important positions to know how to escape. It is very common for street fights to end up in a Scarf Hold position, and if you don’t know how to escape, you’re in for a bad time. Learn how to get out of this bad position easily and effectively so you can start to utilize your BJJ skills!
Black Belt
Half Guard Top – Turning the tables on last week, this week we will be studying how to pass and submit from the top of Half Guard. If you came in last week you know how dynamic this position can be. This week learn how to control your partner on bottom so they can’t capitalize on this active position.
