VIDEO SUBMISSIONS
Submit videos showing the techniques as the good guy on the due dates in the pdf.
If there are variations - state which variation you are showing.
The final video requires you to create a reflex development drill of 6 techniques from in class and at home study techniques of your choice. The techniques must sequence with each other in a logical format. For example - a rear naked choke would not naturally follow americana armlock.
Training Partners
One of the main benefits of training at a school is the plethora of awesome training partners to choose from every day you come to class. Given the circumstances, there’s no doubt that you’ll have fewer partners to choose from, but here are some recommendations that might help.
FRIENDS & FAMILY
If you have friends or family members that you’ve always wanted to introduce to jiu-jitsu, now is the time! Chances are they are also experiencing the cancellation of many of their favorite activities so they’ll be much more open to trying something new, especially if it means they can spend more time with you. Just be sure to start them gradually from lesson 1, don’t be overly critical, and praise every bit of progress.
PRIVATE CLASSES
Although all group classes are on hold, as of now we will continue offering private classes to our students. Whether or not you currently participate in private classes, if this is something you’d like to explore, simply reply to this email and let us know which instructor (if any) you had in mind and we will put you in direct contact with him/her.
JIU-JITSU BUDDIES
Even though large group gatherings are advised against, there is no reason why a small group of healthy people can’t get together to practice jiu-jitsu. Use social media to contact your friends from the school and set up small training sessions using the online curriculum as a guide.
