Curriculum
BJJ
Fundamentals – Closed Guard
- Double Leg Take Down – A staple of any wrestler.
- Front Choke + Scissor Sweep – A killer combo – A powerful choke teams up with a tricky sweep.
Intermediate – Side Control Escapes
- Low Level Double Leg – Taking the double leg to a new level! We’ll be learning how to drop under our partner’s defenses.
- Side Control Escapes – Learning the details of escaping this not-so-fun position.
Kickboxing – Low Kicks
Low kicks are kicks designed to attack the legs of your opponent. When delivered properly, these can be a very powerful tool! The three main areas to attack are the legs, body, and head. We will focus on developing proper leg kick technique, while working them in with our other strikes.
Muay Thai – Creating Angles
Standing in front of your opponent gives equal opportunity to hit and be hit. This week we look at ways to “get off the railroad tracks” and increase our odds of landing strikes without taking damage. Angles are an important advantage in the fight game!Â
CrossFit – Mobility
I don’t know how this world ends for you, but I do know you can control a lot of factors about you life and the way the world effects you. You need to be able to squat, get up off the ground, fully extend your arms to reach, carry items and walk with ease. Strength is important as gravity pulls us down, but strength without the range of motion to use it is worthless. Check out Mobility WOD, and dedicate some time to functional stretching.
Take responsibility for your body and write down your mobility goals in addition to writing down your WOD.
Don’t become a worthless, skin covered sack of bones. Get stronger, more mobile and harder to kill.
Kids – Manners
Focus of the Month
This month we’ll be learning what good manners are, why they matter, and how to use them. Â We’re starting off with how to be a good, and effective, listener.

Thoughts
