This session of our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio class at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy focused on the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio triangle choke from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio guard position.

After warming up and doing rolls and break falls, our first BJJ in Dayton, Ohio triangle choke entry was from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio closed guard. From here, we grab one of our opponent’s arms and pull it towards us. The opponent’s natural reaction is to pull their arm in the opposite direction, making it easier for us to push that arm through our legs and wrap them around the opponent’s neck and other trapped arm, putting us in the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio triangle choke position.

Another entry to the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio triangle choke is from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio open guard position. Once we have established the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio open guard position on our opponent, we put on foot on the opponent’s shoulder and pull their arms toward us. We then slide the foot that was on the shoulder up past the opponent’s shoulder while still pulling them into us, wrapping our legs around their neck and arm putting us in the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio triangle position.

Once done with drilling the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio triangle choke submission we then moved on to a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio drill we call the 4-point drill. This drill helps with being able to score points in a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio competition as it makes students mindful of trying to get the better position or preventing their opponent form getting it because the first person in the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio 4-point drill to score 4 points wins the match. When one match is over the winner stays in and faces a new opponent and the loser goes and waits in line to be paired up with another opponent once they become available. It is a very rapid drill and allows you to deal with different opponents a lot quicker than just conventional sparring, but with the same intensity and focus.

At the end of our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio class at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy we focused on our abdominals by doing some medicine ball exercises and followed it up with our yoga for fighters program to keep the body flexible.

  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!

In today’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio class at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy we focused on some basic BJJ in Dayton, Ohio sweeps from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio guard position. 

We began our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio class at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy with some basic front rolls and side rolls, followed by break falls commonly found in Judo in Dayton, Ohio in order to toughen our bodies up for our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio training.

Once done with our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio warm ups we began working on what is known in BJJ in Dayton, Ohio as a "Pendulum sweep" from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio guard position.  This involves putting our opponent in a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio guard position with our shin up against our opponent’s armpit while trapping that hand against our hip and then grabbing their pant leg on the opposite side of the trapped arm and then turning our body against that leg to make them off balance.  From there, the opponent will try to post on their free hand in order to regain their balance, which is what we want them to do in our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio guard position. Once they post out with that hand, we then force our hips the opposite way against the opponent’s trapped arm and sweep them onto their back, putting us in the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio full mount position, which is one of the best positions to be in when doing BJJ in Dayton, Ohio especially at a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio competition as it will earn the most points you can get in a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio competition.

Another variation of the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio pendulum sweep from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio guard position is from where the opponent posts out with there hand.  From here, we can then feed our leg through the opponent’s arm and put them in a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio triangle choke position, where we can apply pressure to their neck and make them "tap out."  


Once we were done with our drilling of the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio pendulum sweep from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio guard position we then moved on to our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio sparring session of class we call "wiping the mat" which involves live sparring in order to get the maximum benefit from our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio training. 

When our bodies were good and tired from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio sparring we finished up our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio training at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy with our yoga for fighters in Dayton, Ohio session to help our bodies cool down and stay flexible from our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio training.

Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio class at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy focused on some variations of the arm drag takedown.  After our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio warm up session was done, we began with drilling the basic BJJ in Dayton, Ohio arm drag with our partners.
The first BJJ in Dayton, Ohio arm drag takedown we practiced was a variation that involved grabbing the opponent’s arm behind the tricep and then reaching around their back with our other hand and grabbing their belt or their torso if they are not wearing a gi.  From there we simply sit down and pull the opponent into us, ending up in a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio back mount position.
The BJJ in Dayton, Ohio back mount position is one of the best BJJ in Dayton, Ohio positions because it allows us to perform a number of BJJ in Dayton, Ohio submissions such as rear naked chokes, which are commonly seen in MMA in Dayton, Ohio fights, and arm bars from the back mount.  It is also one of the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio positions that will earn you the most points in a BJJ in Dayton, Ohio competition if you plan to compete in Dayton, Ohio.

Another variation of the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio arm drag we practiced was from the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio half guard position. If the opponent tries to reach for our head with their arm, we simply perform the same BJJ in Dayton, Ohio arm drag we practiced before by pulling their arm across their body and moving to their back, putting us back in the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio back mount position.
Once we were done drilling the BJJ in Dayton, Ohio arm drag variations, we then moved on to our application part of our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio class where we grappled with resisting opponents round after round in order to better our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio techniques.
We then finished up our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio class at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy with our yoga for fighters in Dayton, Ohio session to help stretch out the body and relax the mind so we are able to recover easier from our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio training.

In today’s MMA in Dayton, Ohio conditioning class at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy we worked on dealing with counters to an opponent’s roundhouse kick.

After warming up the body at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy, we worked on a basic counter to the roundhouse kick, which is a kick commonly found in many Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio. To begin, as the opponent performs the roundhouse kick in Dayton, Ohio we move our body into the kick by stepping to the side along the path of the kick so that we don’t let the roundhouse kick hit us. Then we catch their roundhouse kick with our arms and step into the opponent and sweep the leg they are currently standing on. From there we can go to the ground and apply our BJJ in Dayton, Ohio techniques on our opponent. This is also an effective technique in MMA in Dayton, Ohio especially when the opponent has a background in striking Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio and little to no experience in grappling in Dayton, Ohio as it takes away their position for striking and puts them in unfamiliar territory which makes it even easier to perform BJJ in Dayton, Ohio techniques on them. It is also effective for self-defense in Dayton, Ohio as it puts the opponent on the ground forcefully, while leaving you in a superior standing position if you do not want to go to the ground.

Another variation of the roundhouse kick defense we trained at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy was once you block the opponent’s kick, you shoot in and wrap your leg around the opponent’s leg and force them to the ground where you can apply your BJJ in Dayton, Ohio techniques to them. This is a risky move as it gives up your standing position and forces you to go to the ground so it may be a situational technique in a self-defense in Dayton, Ohio situation as there may be more than one opponent around.

Once done with the kicking defense techniques at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy we then moved on to some station drills that worked on our MMA in Dayton, Ohio conditioning to help build up our cardio and technique. Once the stations drills at Tenbears Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio Academy were done we then moved on to our sparring in Dayton, Ohio session where we brought all of our MMA in Dayton, Ohio techniques together against resisting opponents to get the maximum benefit from our MMA in Dayton, Ohio training.

We then finished up our MMA in Dayton, Ohio conditioning class with our yoga for fighters in Dayton, Ohio program to help stretch our bodies out and prevent any further injuries from occurring.

Today’s MMA in Dayton, Ohio training at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio focused mainly on basic MMA in Dayton, Ohio striking techniques. It’s important to properly understand what the basic MMA in Dayton, Ohio striking techniques are because they are the most used techniques in any MMA in Dayton, Ohio fight you will use since they are most effective techniques found in any MMA in Dayton, Ohio fight and especially in self-defense in Dayton, Ohio and the easiest to remember. When in an MMA in Dayton, Ohio fight or a self-defense in Dayton, Ohio situation, your stress level rises to a point where you are no longer thinking about what you are doing and acting more off of instinct rather than thought. That is why we repetitively drill the basic MMA in Dayton, Ohio techniques with new and advanced students in MMA in Dayton, Ohio so that they become second nature. I remember when starting out in my Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio training my instructor told me that in a real fight you will forget 97% of what you have learned and only use the 3% of what you know which are the most basic moves in Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio because that is what you will drill the most. We started out class by warming our bodies up in Dayton, Ohio by doing some basic shadow boxing and some bob and weave drills commonly found in Boxing in Dayton, Ohio. This helps us build up muscle memory in Dayton, Ohio so that we no longer have to think about what we do in a self defense in Dayton, Ohio situation and just act off of instinct. After we finished warming our bodies up with the Boxing in Dayton, Ohio drill we then moved on to our Muay Thai in Dayton, Ohio kicking drill where we traded Muay Thai in Dayton, Ohio kicks to the legs and torso to help build up our muscle memory and defense against any type of MMA in Dayton, Ohio kicks we might give or receive in an MMA in Dayton, Ohio fight or a self-defense in Dayton, Ohio situation we might find ourselves in. Once finished with the Muay Thai in Dayton, Ohio kicking drill, we then transitioned on to an MMA in Dayton, Ohio body shot drill where one person practiced taking MMA in Dayton, Ohio strikes to their torso, be it Muay Thai in Dayton, Ohio kicks or Boxing in Dayton, Ohio punches to the mid-section, also known as the core, to help toughen up the mid-section to receive any type of MMA in Dayton, Ohio strike. Once our MMA in Dayton, Ohio conditioning was done at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy at Dayton, Ohio, we then finished up our MMA in Dayton, Ohio training at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio with our sparring in Dayton, Ohio part of class where we go against resisting opponents to help get the maximum benefit of our MMA in Dayton, Ohio training and self-defense in Dayton, Ohio training because in a real MMA in Dayton, Ohio fight or a self-defense in Dayton, Ohio situation our opponent isn’t going to just let us do our Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio techniques against them easily. That is why we constantly train with Martial Arts sparring in Dayton, Ohio to help our students become comfortable with performing their Martial Arts in Dayton, Ohio techniques.

On Thursday’s MMA in Dayton, Ohio training at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio we focused on a lot of Muay Thai clinch fighting work commonly found in many MMA in Dayton, Ohio fights and also very effective in self-defense as most people are not used to dealing with the Muay Thai clinch fighting position. Our MMA in Dayton, Ohio warm up today at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio consisted of a shorter version of our stations drill, where we rotate from different stations every few minutes after practicing our Muay Thai in Dayton, Ohio and MMA in Dayton, Ohio techniques against heavy bags, speed bags, ground and pound bags, as well as a station that had us receiving Muay Thai kicks and punches to the mid section to help toughen the body up in Dayton, Ohio. Once the MMA in Dayton, Ohio warm up session was complete at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio we then moved on to practice a basic Muay Thai in Dayton, Ohio combo which involved kicking the opponent's outside leg repeatedly making them think that was our main target. Once the opponent tries to defend that kick, we instead aim for their other leg at the knee. After the leg kick we immediately went into a side kick with our same leg against their stomach, pushing them back. The next MMA in Dayton, Ohio drill at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio was a Muay Thai clinch fighting drill where we controlled our opponent’s head against our chest and threw Muay Thai in Dayton, Ohio knee strikes against their mid section, another commonly found technique often seen in MMA in Dayton, Ohio fights. We then transitioned to a Muay Thai clinch fighting drill against the wall, or cage if this was an MMA in Dayton, Ohio fight, where we learned to break the opponent’s Muay Thai clinch on us and then throw them into the wall. In MMA in Dayton, Ohio fights, it is common to see the MMA in Dayton, Ohio fighters pushing each other up against the cage, and in street self-defense situations someone may try to push you up against the wall, so it is important to learn how to deal with this type of situation if not just for MMA in Dayton, Ohio fights but for self-defense as well. After the Mauy Thai clinch fighting drills were done at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio we moved on to MMA in Dayton, Ohio sparring, putting all of our Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and Muay Thai techniques together against resisting opponents, getting the maximum benefit from our MMA in Dayton, Ohio training at Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio. Once we were done with the MMA in Dayton, Ohio sparring we finished up class with an abdominal workout in Dayton, Ohio that involved doing leg raises while having a medicine ball dropped on our stomachs to help toughen up the body to receive any type of MMA in Dayton, Ohio strike to the mid section with ease.

On December 10 some of the members of Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio went to a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seminar held by Marcello C. Monteiro. Tenbears Martial Arts Academy in Dayton, Ohio is the only Marcello C. Monteiro Brazilian Jiu Jitsu martial arts school in the southern Ohio area. Marcello C. Monteiro’s style of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio is known for it’s BJJ in Dayton, Ohio half guard techniques, so he focused a lot of time demonstrating techniques from this position. The half guard in BJJ is where the opponent has one leg free of your guard, but their other leg is still trapped inside your guard. Most other styles of BJJ in Dayton, Ohio use the half guard as more of a transition point, but Marcello C. Monteiro was able to show us some BJJ sweeps from this position. One involved diving between the opponent’s legs and under-hooking their free leg while bringing their base on top of you. From there, your grab the ankle of their leg that is still trapped, to prevent them from escaping that foot. Afterwards, we escaped our hips out from under the opponent while still trapping their leg and pushed them forward, with us ending up behind them where we then stuck both of our feet behind their knees and straightened our legs while pulling their body into us. This causes them to fall back and puts is in the BJJ position known as the back mount, where BJJ in Dayton, Ohio submissions like the rear naked choke can be applied. Taking an opponent’s back is one of the best BJJ positions to be in whether it be MMA in Dayton, Ohio or competition Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio, as the back mount is worth 4 points which is the most points that can be awarded for obtaining a superior BJJ position in sport Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio. Another technique that Marcello C. Monteiro taught at his BJJ seminar was how to apply a gooseneck wrist-lock against an opponent that is resisting an arm bar, as well as a submission against an opponent resisting a triangle choke which ended up with creating pressure against their bicep with our wrist. The BJJ seminar was then finished up with a ceremony in which Marcello C. Monteiro shared some of his BJJ philosophies and awarded his students with their next rank in BJJ in Dayton, Ohio, be it another stripe on their belt or the next belt rank.

Sunday’s classes at Tenbears Mixed Martial arts in Dayton, Ohio are our "open mat" classes where students have the opportunity to train in any aspect they please in Dayton, Ohio. Once warmed up, the students that were practicing BJJ ground techniques worked on their Mountaineer sweep from an open guard position in Dayton, Ohio. This sweep involves pushing your hips up into your opponent when they have straitened their posture while in your guard, causing their weight to be shifted backwards. The opponent may post a hand on the mat in order to brace themselves from being swept, which is what we want them to do because we then pull that hand into our bodies to break their post and continue to drive them with our hips, ending up in a BJJ full mount position on top of the opponent in Dayton, Ohio. After training in the Mountaineer sweep, we did another sweep that involves being in the BJJ open guard position. First we take one of our legs and bring it over the opponents arm on that side and bring the leg across their chest and putting the foot into their opposite armpit, trapping that arm. From there, we pull the other arm across our body to the opposite side while pushing out with our leg that we have across their chest, breaking their balance and sweeping them in Dayton, Ohio. We finished up the "open mat" class in Dayton, Ohio by doing some light BJJ grappling in dayton to apply the sweeps we just practiced.

Saturday’s Jiu Jitsu class at Tenbears MMA in Dayton, Ohio was a very technical class, focusing on standing submissions as well as ground submissions. To begin with, we warmed up the bodies with our front rolls and side rolls, then transitioned into front break falls and side break falls, finishing up with good old fashioned elbow knee escapes in Dayton, Ohio. Our first set of techniques we practiced were standing wrist locks, also known as "Yawara" in the Yudansha Jiu Jitsu system in Dayton, Ohio. These involve keeping control of the opponent’s wrist, especially gripping at the thumb, and twisting the wrist and applying pressure in various ways in order to control their body and to submit them, making them "tap out" when the pain is overwhelming. Techniques such as these are perfect for self-defense situations as they start with the opponent grabbing our gi top or shirt. After the Yawara techniques, we then worked on performing a triangle choke from a different angle by starting in a BJJ side control position in Dayton, Ohio. From there we take control of the opponent’s arm and transition to where we are over our opponent with our legs up by their head. Then we take our foot on the opposite side of the arm we have controlled and put it between the opponents other free arm and their torso, sitting back and baiting them to bring up their head from between our legs. Once they do that, we take the foot we just put down and bring it across the opponents chest and hook our foot underneath our other leg behind the knee, locking the triangle in place while maintaining control of the other arm we grabbed earlier. If the triangle choke does not cause them to "tap out" then we can take the arm we have controlled and apply an arm bar against it, causing them to "tap out" as well as maintaining control of the opponent and exposing their head, perfect for applying ground and pound techniques perfect for MMA and street fighting situations. After the technical part of class, we then did our "wiping the mat" session, sparring against opponents of various size and skill level to help practice our application of the Jiu Jitsu techniques we’ve learned in Dayton, Ohio. Once we’re good and tired from "wiping the mat" we did our abdominal workout session to strengthen our core and them cooled down our bodies with some Yoga For Fighters in Dayton, Ohio.
