10/19/19 MA Class

Marshall leads a fantastic Saturday morning, MMA type class. Not like UFC but a combination of Karate, Judo, and BJJ. Focus on martial arts fitness, self defense, and being well rounded.

Actually enjoyed the throws today. We started by working on how to get to T-position. Then, worked T-position throws.

The combination of several things was nice as well. Block the punch, slip to the wrist, slide past and work for the throw, take down, etc. Use the elbow to the side of the head to protect as the punch is thrown.

Worked the arm drag: Lead with the hips instead of the head to get to the back. Choke from standing. Break the posture at the knee and rear naked choke.

Also worked from the guard- attacker throws punches from the top. Use the hips to pull the person forward as they throw the punch, trap the arm, trap the leg, and roll. Work to get to stand up and get away.

Was able to do the top side arm bar in a roll!

Absolutely love this class. Amazing all around game builder.

Drill arm bars Drill triangles Drill what you know from side Drill what you know from mount Drill sweeps Monkey lines- bottom person escape from side control, top person advance position. Rolling: Pass the guard and progress right to armbar. Dont want to have to fight on bottom, Keep a few things in your back pocket that are quick and easy that you dont reveal, such as arm and leg drag to armbar, such as mount to whatever, darce, etc. True for life- dont reveal what else you have up your sleeve. Hold some characteristic or trait that they didn't know you had to win. WIN.

Love this class with Marshal. Worked defending the body punches. Stand up sparring Defending punches from the guard, get to mount, get out of the guard, sweep! Dont defend kicks with your hand! Ouch... Punches to the body hurt, even with the pads on! Everyone donned the body protectors and had 30seconds of everyone in the room punching them Work with the stick and the knife- defending the knife means controlling the knife. The 12 step stick/knife movement

Rolled with Jamie this evening: 1- I know not all I think! 2- He kept catching me in the triangle or arm bar. I kept getting sucked into his guard. Need to work on understanding how to stay out of the spider guard. 3- Work on passing the guard and staying outside. Standup is the way.
