DOES WEIDMAN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO UNTANGLE THE SPIDERS WEB?

Posted by Dannyboy in wrestling , UFC Fight Nite , ufc , submission grappling in dayton , mma dayton ohio , mma , Martial arts in Dayton , jiu jitsu , High Level BJJ , ground fighting , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , bjj ohio , bjj in dayton , bjj dayton , bjj , 30 days free

                

      I am going to make a bold statement on this and say that Weidman will be the one to take the belt from the champ! Weidman looked phenomenal against Munoz! Munoz is no scrub! A D1 wrestler and no one controlled Munoz like Weidman! He was relentless with his submission attempts and how he controlled Munoz was Damn Impressive! I think Weidman will sub Anderson yeah I said it! Where Chael came up short I think Weidman will capitalize. Weidman has great bjj! Not that Aderson    is a slouch by any means, now Aderson is better than anyone in the world standing up in my opinion, so until he gets older and loses his step I think the ground is where he will get caught and I think Weidman just might be the guy to do it! So if you want to learn Bjj and you are in the Dayton area n stop into TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio and we will get you pointed in the right direction!

EFFECTIVE BJJ AT TENBEARSMMA IN DAYTON OHIO

Posted by Dannyboy in ufc , triangles , technique , tap out , sensei , jiu jitsu , guard pass , free training , drilling , classes in dayton , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , bjj ohio , bjj in dayton , bjj , better shape , arm bars , 4 point drill , 30 days free

  We always get a great work out here at TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio! I am going to talk a little about UFC 144 and how students at TENBEARSMMA where drilling the same technique Vaughan Lee tapped ‘kid’ Yamamoto with sat, Yamamoto had never been tapped out until sat.  night! Vaughan Lee got him with a armbar that he transitioned to from a triangle attempt. Sat. at TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio we where training hard before UFC 144 came on that night and just happened to be drilling the Technique that Vaughn Lee tapped ‘Kid’ Yamamoto with!

   This is how we started our training at TENBEARS in Dayton Ohio First we warmed up to get our synovial fluid moving between our joints so we avoid unnecessary injuries, we did lots of good stretches, we also did jumping jacks, pushups, sit ups etc. once we where good and warm we started drilling guard passes with our training partner resisting about 50% this is great for warming up the rest of the way plus you can’t train guard passing enough! After we drilled some guard passes in Dayton Ohio we moved on to some techniques, sensei showed us different ways to enter the technique and key details that might make the difference between someone escaping and someone tapping! I will go over a couple but you really need to come to TENBEARS and experience this for yourself, from the triangle just like you saw in UFC 144 Vaughn Lee pushed the wrist down and entered the triangle instead of wasting energy he transitioned to the armbar, a key detail you saw was how Lee under hooked the leg to turn his body to get a great angle as he transitioned to the armbar he knew he had the shoulder trapped good.  you can get the tap still holding the leg raising your hips up and pulling the arm back, Lee went ahead and used the other arm to really put a lot of pressure on ‘Kids’ arm, he knew he had it at this point! After drilling some great techniques here at TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio we did a 4 point drill! Great BJJ drill we got students that compete so this great for that and great for staying in shape and your BJJ in general! We start with one student  on their back,and the other one in that Persons guard, first one to 4 points stays on the mat. This is a great workout and very good for getting used to the points system in BJJ matches! Come check us out at TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio!

UFC 142 AND HOW TENBEARSMMA CAN SHOW YOU THE WAY

Posted by Dannyboy in ufc , ufc , triangles , technique , takedowns , take downs , southwest ohio , rear naked choke , padwork , no gi , muay thai , mma in dayton , mma dayton ohio , mma dayton , mma , mauy tai , martial arts , kick boxing , judo , jiu jitsu , ground fighting , grappling , gi , freestyle wrestling , free training , fighters in dayton , classes in dayton , chokes , boxing dayton ohio , boxing , bjj dayton , bjj , 30 days free

            

 

   I am going to talk about UFC 142 and how you can learn the techniques they used, at TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio. So let me talk about the co main event first, Vitor Belfort vs Anthony Johnson. Anthony is a big strong wrestler that came in 11 lbs over weight, so Vitor had to weather a little bit of a storm, but Vitor got Anthony with good old fashion Jiu-Jitsu! And Palhares got Mike Massenzio with Jiu-Jitsu too! Maybe just maybe it is good to know this jiu-jitsu stuff! Well guess what TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio offers Jiu-Jitsu classes we also go over all the other stuff you see in the UFC! So I am going to go over a couple fights and some of the techniques. First Vitor and Johnson it is no doubt that wrestlers transition into MMA very very well and a lot of people think the future of the UFC will be strong wrestlers, and they might be right but Jiu-Jitsu is evolving as I type this blog, and you see that even great wrestlers get submitted (Anderson submitting Chael Sonnen) and so on, I am sure Chael has worked on his Submissions since that fight and just want to say I hope he destroys Bisbing Just had to get that in there. So back to Vitor and Anthony to sum it up Anthony got a couple takedowns put could not do much on the ground so they got stood up Johnson went for another take down after a scramble for position vitor sprawled and looked like he could of went for a darce choke but maybe did not want to lose a great position so he transitioned to the back Johnson tried to turn into vitor to defend the rear naked choke but vitor softend him up with punches and Johnson gave up his back, vitor went palm to palm and got the tap! So how does TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio correlate with what you see on T.V.? in many ways if you like the standup and we do have students that just like one particular art, and that is fine sensei Jim was a golden cloves boxer and trained muay Thai under Oscar Kallet, so we got some skills to pass on to you. TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio has a very respectable judo background if you like the art of throwing we got you covered and we got jiu-jitsu! gi and no gi! And TENBEARSMMA in Dayton Ohio is the only Southern Ohio’s Marcello C. Monterio affiliate school!

BELT TESTING EXPERIENCE IN DAYTON OHIO

Posted by Dannyboy in yudansha , wrestling , ufc , training , technique , takedowns , take downs , Sukui-nage , sparring , single leg , Seoi-nage , Randori , O-Soto-Gari , muay thai , mma , mauy tai , mat , martial arts , judo , jiu jitsu , ground fighting , grip fighting , firemans carry , double leg , clinch fighting , boxing

 

       

       I am going to talk about belt testing and my experience with it! I personally have had 2 belt tests in the Yudansha fighting system, different schools and different martial arts have their own unique style of testing. I am going to go over Yudansha fighting system and my experiences I have had! Since the philosophy of Yudansha comes from three parts of a combative engagement first, the standing phase, next the clinch phase and last the ground phase! Yudansha philosophy is it is better to be good at all three than just be good in one. You have heard the term well rounded in the U.F.C. or MMA matches because they have to be good at all aspects of the game. Yudansha fighting systems first part of the belt test is going over techniques with a uke (or training partner) a good uke is ideal because you do not want the person resisting the techniques a good uke will have good break falls and not resist the throw to ensure good Kata or form. Judo is a big part of the test, here are a couple techniques, Seoi-nage or shoulder throw, O-Soto-Gari or major throw, these are from Gokyo or greenbelt here is one from yonkyo or blue belt Sukui-nage or scoop throw. In the yudansha system there is also wrestling techniques, your single leg and double leg take downs as well as firemans carry and so on. After going over techniques there is the Randori  part or live judo. then on to live sparing that has boxing, muay thai , and ground work( jiu-jitsu). This part will test you mentally as well as physically because the test is three 5 min. rounds in each, judo, stand up, and jiu-jitsu with fresh people alternating, I personally train my cardio and get a lot of mat time like I am training for a fight because 45 min. of live sparing is grueling! But also very rewarding when you complete!

TENBEARS MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY IN DAYTON OHIO HAS YOU COVERED!

Posted by Dannyboy in yudansha , training , self defense , mma in dayton , mma dayton ohio , mma , Martial arts in Dayton , martial arts , judo , jiu jitsu , History , ground fighting , Gracie , compete in dayton , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , black belt , bjj ohio , bjj in dayton , bjj dayton , bjj , better shape , 30 days free

 

    

 

     TENBEARS MMA in Dayton Ohio covers many different angles of the Martial Arts world TENBEARS in Dayton Ohio has two different systems you can be a part of. I will go over them and how they can benefit you! First let me go over the YUDANSHA fighting system. YUDANSHA has many things to offer, it is a Japanese fighting system so it has great Judo! And many different styles of standup, it also offers Japanese Jiu-jitsu. It is great for someone wanting to transition into MMA. YUDANSHA fighting system is very Street applicable, it is very good for Self Defense! I love my BJJ but you would not see me pull guard in a street fight to many variables, more than one attacker and so on.

      TENBEARS MMA in Dayton Ohio is Southern Ohio’s only Marcello C. Monteiro affiliate school so it is pure BJJ! Here is a little history about Marcello he first started training with Alvaro Barreto(Carlos and Helio Gracies student) as he got older he trained with Carlson Gracies best students Sergio Souza “Bolao” and the legendary Ricardo De La Rivia and Ricardo Juca! For many years Marcello was considered De La Riva’s protégé at his Academy in Rio De Janeiro/Brazil. Marcello achieved his black belt under De La Rivia. Marcello was also great friends with Rodrigo (Minotauro) Nogueira. So we are getting some pretty good BJJ advice I would say! Most fights end up on the ground so BJJ is always good to know, if you want to learn Self Defense, compete, or just stay in shape we got you covered!   

Till Next Time!

More High level BJJ Techniques at TENBEARS MMA

Posted by Dannyboy in mat , Martial arts in Dayton , Kimura , jiu jitsu , High Level BJJ , ground fighting , grip fighting , grappling in dayton , grappling , free training , chokes , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , bjj ohio , bjj in dayton , bjj full mount , bjj dayton , bjj , arm bars

                                

 

 

          Tenbears Martial Arts academy in Dayton Ohio is the only Southern Ohio Affiliate School of Marcello C.  Monteiro.  We are privileged to learn some great Techniques that come straight from the professor himself! We are going to start from half guard on this technique in Dayton Ohio, We are going to switch our base, so that my right arm is over hooking my opponents right arm I am going to be on my right hip, close to my opponent and scissoring my legs with my right knee up against my opponents hip. I am going to bait my opponent into thinking that I am going for the mount. To make my opponent think that I am stepping over for the mount I am going to grab his pants just above his knee. My opponent will try to push my hand off his knee when he does He just fell for the trap! When he goes to push my hand off I let go of his gi pants and grab his wrist, Next I pin his arm to the mat, I have two arms attacking his one, I already have the arm over hooked with my right arm and control of his wrist with my left so I am going to go for a straight armlock but my opponent defends well and bends his arm and grabs his own belt. That’s ok I am going to transition to the kimura by grabbing my own wrist. I am going to pull my opponent up on his side and step over his head to break the grip of my opponent grabbing his belt, but my opponent has a very good grip, instead of playing muscle jitsu I am going to transition to something else to conserve energy I am going to keep a hold of his arm and transition to the other side of my opponent. I am going to put my chest against his elbow and stay on my toes for leverage. Next I am going to let go of his wrist and hug his head with a over under going to palm to palm or a gable grip. Next I am going to switch my base again scissoring my legs this time my left knee against my opponents back making it very easy to transition to the mount. I hold on to the over under as I go to mount, now that I am in the mount I am going to attack again. This time I am going for a gi choke that is very easy from the grip I have, I am going to let go of the palm to palm and grab my opponents collar feeding it to my left hand as deep as I can get it! To finish I am going to just take my right arm and feed it behind the head cutting both carotid artery for the tap! If I do not have the choke, I go to another attack that is ripe for the taking. grab my own collar trapping the arm taking my left hand and pushing my opponents face the other way stepping over for the armbar always pinching knees together and opponents thumb up, raising the hips for the tap!

 

Till Next Time!

          Tenbears Martial Arts academy in Dayton Ohio is the only Southern Ohio Affiliate School of Marcello C.  Monteiro.  We are privileged to learn some great Techniques that come straight from the professor himself!  Friday a bunch of our students, including myself, went to learn some great Deep Half Guard techniques from some of Marcello's high level students!  When it comes to BJJ these guys are the Cream of the crop!   So, Tenbears in Dayton Ohio is passing along Great BJJ Techniques!  You will not find BJJ at this level in Dayton Ohio unless you are a student at Tenbears!   Come check out are 30 day free trial!

       

          We always start with some warm up drills here at Tenbears in Dayton Ohio.  This is to ensure that we get warmed up properly to get that synovial fluid moving so we have less injuries here at Tenbears in Dayton Ohio.  We start with some rolls and breakfalls so we know how to land if thrown.  Then we move on to some shrimping/hip escape drills.  You just can’t drill these enough!   Now time for some Techniques, I am going to establish half guard control by grabbing my opponents sleeve and pinning it to my thigh; at the same time putting my shin in my opponents armpit with my foot along his back for great control!  Now with my other hand I am going to grab my opponent’s bicep blocking his free arm or grabbing his gi on his knee, always on my hip sitting up.  Now I am going to kick my shin up and feed my arm thru the space I just created at the same time and putting my under hook deep grabbing all the way up on my opponents back or shoulder deeper the better.  I will now start to scoot my hips out so my head is in front of my hips pressing my forehead in opponent’s chest or against his head, you control the head you control the body!  Next I will apply the X Guard to ensure my opponent does not try to pass on that side.  Finally I am going to dive under my opponent’s leg keeping the X guard on the other leg, I want to make sure I dive all the way under coming out the back holding the leg with my arm and kicking the other leg as I come up completing the sweep!

Posted by Dannyboy in Untagged 

    Had a great martial arts class in Dayton,Ohio this Saturday and sunday.If you are looking for a fitness class in Dayton,Ohio or just to join a great martial arts school i suggest you take advantage of Tenbears Martial Arts Academy's"30 Days Free"training in offer!

I just wanted to talk about how the founders of jiu-jitsu the Gracies brought BJJ to the U.S. and showed that BJJ was dominant over pretty much every other martial art.Nothing against Karate,it has its place too,but if yo took a BJJ school,and put it up against a Karate gym in Dayton Ohio.The outcome would be alot of Karate students getting taken to the ground and tapping!Same with Tae Kwon Do Schools in Dayton,agian nothing against Tae Kwon Do either but the outcome would be the same.Gracie Jiu-jitsu showed us that time and time agian,thank you!All Jiu-jitsu matches start standing up,and you have seen in mma where judo can play a great role!That's why we have great judo classes here at Tenbears whether it be for 2 points in a BJJ match or taking someone to the ground for self defense...in Dayton we have great instructors!Feel free to call or stop in.we will leave the lights on!

 

See you Soon!

Offer!

I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day when I started training.  I started training mainly cause I have always been interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I felt that the self discipline and fitness oriented training would be the positive influence I needed in my life. I have cut down 15lbs since I started training and quit smoking after the first class. The self confidence I got from the training is something that is unreal. The Sensei is awesome and the way he teaches the classes is informative, fun, and the techniques are extremely useful in competitions. The feeling I get from the school is that we are a big family we watch the fights together train and compete together. I recommend this school and program to anyone that needs a positive direction or fitness training in there life.

~JOSH PETERS

Tenbears has great martial arts classes.  I am a huge fan of jiujitsu and would recommend it to anyone.  It's a great family environment and Sinsei Jim is very patient and ensures that everyone practices key moves correctly.  I know I live a healthier lifestyle now and have more confidence and overall fitness.  I'm learning self defense and gaining more appreciation for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

 ~Colin S.

The number one reason I signed up at Tenbears MMA was because I had a background of boxing and wanted to become more of a well rounded fighter. I wanted to improve my cardio and become more confident that if I end up on the ground in a fight that I will be able to handle the situation. The 3 most important benefits that I have received since I have started training here ; my self confidence has gone up by leaps and bounds, I have became a very well rounded fighter, and I have gained some lifelong friends. I am very happy with the instructors here. Their patience and knowledge of the arts of jiu jitsu, kickboxing, and judo are one of the main reasons that I committed to the school. My overall feeling is that it has become an extension of my family. The respect we give each other here is something you don’t find at every school. I don’t feel like just another statistic here. I would recommend this martial arts school in Dayton to anyone that wants to learn self defense, lose weight, and or compete in jiujitsu. You won’t find a more well rounded school in the area.

~Matt M

The number one reason I wanted to join a martial arts school is to get fit.  I also want to gain more self discipline because I want to become a professional MMA fighter.  So far I have lost 20 pounds, I am much more flexible and I have tons of energy.  Tenbears is the greatest martial arts class in Dayton and it feels like part of my family here. I would definitely recommend this especially as an alternative to karate classes or taekwondo.

~ Angel Burke

Martial Arts DaytonI joined Tenbears MMA mainly to improve on my self defense. The benefits that I have received from this school are endless. Some of the main ones are physical fitness, overall martial arts training and knowledge, and meeting and getting to know others that train many different Martial Arts styles. I have gotten a lot of experience doing ground work (jiu jitsu), also my striking and fitness level have improved by leaps and bounds. I feel the instructor is as much a part of the class as the students. That is something that I don’t see in other school and I think it helps with the overall comradery in the school. My feelings about the school as a whole are it’s a very friendly school and not competitive at all, even though some of the students do compete. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to get into better shape and or learn some real life self defense and/ or MMA.

~Torrey

I love to compete and have always been a big fan of full contact competition. I had wrestled for many years and decided that this would be a more advanced and technique style of competition. Two of the biggest benefits I got from this school and style of training are honor and respect. I learned that honoring and respecting the school, the sensei, and most importantly myself I was able to advance in the sport.  The leadership skills and humility I learned from this school are something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The feeling I get when I hit the mats and start training is indescribable. The way the classes are taught to the people that train in the school it’s like no other school I have ever been to.  I recommend this school to anyone that is at all interested in training or trying any style of Martial Arts.

~ Brandon

At the age of 32, I have spent 14 years of my life as a martial arts enthusiast. My disciplines include: Karate, Tae Kwando, Jiu-Jitsu, Arnis (stick and knife fighting) and Judo. I also have 3 years experience in high school wrestling. During this time period, I have won 5 sport jiu-jitsu tournaments and took 2nd place in a tae Kwando tournament along being selected four years in a row as a member of a martial arts demonstration team. I participated on the Marine fitness team and have received two presidential sports awards. My employment history includes 13 years in security and law enforcement and 4 years as a personal trainer. I also have worked as an instructor an assistant instructor for several local martial arts schools teaching adult and kid’s martial arts, women’s self defense and weapons retention. Martial arts have helped me in every aspect of my life from stress relief to keeping mentally and physically ready for the high demands of my career. I highly encourage people of all ages and body types to at least try martial arts and see what it can do to improve your quality of life.

 ~JP.

I was at a place where I needed something to help point my life in a positive direction.  I have always wanted to take a martial arts program just never applied myself to it. The humility I have learned from this program is something I will carry with me the rest of my life. The discipline and brotherhood I have gotten from training at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy. I am honored to be able to train under sensei Jim the unity in the school is something I have not seen anywhere else. I would recommend this program to everyone that has the slightest desire to try this kind of training. You can’t go wrong with the free 30 days.

~DANNY HOWARD

I started training at 240 lbs.  Now thanks to Tenbears Martial Arts Academy I am down to 190 lbs. I joined mainly because I wanted to get back in shape. A big benefit to joining Tenbears was that I became part of a family. The love and respect we have for each other is amazing. I have learned discipline, respect and honor from training under Sensei Jim. I would recommend this program to everyone that's interested in hands on reality combat sports  or fitness training.

~BRYAN KNAFF


 I joined Tenbears Martial Arts Academy mainly to get back into shape. As a result my self confidence went way up and my stress level has gone done by leaps and bounds. In the 6 months I have been training here at Tenbears MMA I have lost 30 POUNDS. I have met a great group of guys that I train with, and have also learned a very practical art. The Sensie’s instructions are simple and he really takes the time to make sure that you understand the techniques. The feeling I get at this school isn’t that of a school at all. It reminds me of a family. I would recommend this school to everyone. I have tried so many other schools in the area and none of them compare to the training I get here at Tenbears MMA. Plus with the 30 DAYS FREE you can’t go wrong.

 ~Mike f

I joined the Tenbears Academy in Dayton mainly to lose weight and improve my over all health. Self defense is also important to me and my family. In one month of class (two days a week) I have lost 6 lbs and one pant size. I feel a drastic difference in my stress level too! Sensei Jim is great and there is a real sense of camaraderie in the class. I’m so glad I'm here and would recommend this martial arts school to anyone.

 The main reason I wanted to train is because I love watching MMA fights on TV. I really just wondered if I could do that type of competition also. I joined Tenbears MMA to try and improve my fighting skills. To say the least I am getting in better shape then I thought I would, I am getting stronger, and my fighting skills have improved drastically. The way the instructor teaches the class is unlike I thought it would be. He really gets in the class just like the students and trains with us. My overall impression of the school is friendly. The way the other student's seem to wanna get to know you kinda caught me off guard, its like a big family. I recommend this program to anyone that wants to improve their self defense skills and or compete.
