In a way I’m glad that I am unavailable for any more grading days for the rest of the year …! 

I think this morning I must’ve done 10 “grading/evaluation rolls��� from 8:30am to 10:30am and sheesh … I am feeling it now.�� (am getting too old for this)

Those watching today would’ve seen what I do in these evaluation rolls - essentially, I’m working with you to see what you’re trying to do … and sometimes that does mean I have to be stuck in some uncomfortable positions   ☹️

But … like I said at the gathering last year, I really want to get 20 black belts within the first 20 years of SCJJA, and time is running out. 

Thank you to everyone who came for the technical grading at 10:30.

Unfortunately, the turnout wasn’t as big as I had hoped but it was still enough for me to able to test my tests for the coloured belts. There were certainly some confused looks, and at least everyone who was there now knows what to do when you’re mounted and grape-vined! 

Remember that a big part of classes like today’s is finding out what you don’t know, so that you can add it to your game. With the public holiday Monday making this week a short week, I’ll be taking questions from today as my lesson plans, starting with 9am on Monday.

Hopefully now that the days are longer, the numbers improve and with that I’ll award some belts between now and Christmas. I don’t like awarding belts when the numbers are small, I love doing it when there is a big group present to share the moment. 

Osss,

Coach Rodney

Stay Safe on the mat! Ever wondered how to keep training hard without the setbacks? 🥋 An elbow brace might be your new best friend! It stabilizes your joints to prevent common injuries, lets you push harder in training, and even speeds up your recovery. Plus, it's comfy and doesn't restrict your moves. Keep your elbows safe and your training on track!

SCJJA Class of 2024

[jiujitsunews]

Brazilian jiu-jitsu positions have much importance for a complicated BJJ and grappling fighter. A fighter tends first to secure a dominant position and then seek submission, sweeps, or other jiu-jitsu moves. Otherwise, a dominant position is once you arrive to require total control of your jiu-jitsu opponent and you giving them no chance to react appropriately.

A BJJ practitioner fighting from rock bottom tends to secure ju-jitsu positions like the full guard, half guard, butterfly, de la riva Guard, spider guard, etc. Whereas from the top, a practitioner tends to hunt other positions like side mount, side control, full mount, back mount, etc.).
