If you didn’t catch this week’s The Fightworks Podcast episode, you are missing out. Chris Simamora guest interviewed Dave Camarillo of Guerrilla Jiu-jitsu, and the topic was none other than…wrestling! Camarillo says some pretty…shall we say, assertive things about wrestling and why jiu-jitsu players need to learn from what he calls “the greatest grappling art [...]
I’m giving up submissions. That’s right! I’m going on a total submission diet. Between now and October 1st, I will be attempting absolutely zero submissions during training. At the end of the month, I’ll do a write-up and let you know how it turns out.
Ever been like me in this video… in the position for an anaconda or a D’arce, but unable to get the arm in the right angle to finish? Enter a catch wrestling strangle hold that bypasses the arm and both cuts off blood and hurts like crazy.
We worked three escapes from scarf hold. These sort of assume your opponent is controlling your head and one arm (judo scarf hold or kesa gatame), not both arms (what BJJ players call scarf hold), although I imagine the techniques can be modified for if your opponent has both your arms.
For the last couple of classes, I have been pre-empting techniques in my mind. Meaning, I have found that as we review a technique, I am just barely beginning to see the fundamentals the techniques are based on, ask questions and see outcomes using those fundamentals.
I figured this could be a gi with two pairs of pants. That’s how nice it is.
Resolution: I will attend a no-gi class at least once every other week.
