Sunday’s Brazilian jiu jitsu class at Tenbears martial arts academy in Dayton, Ohio. Our "open mat" class where students have the opportunity to train in any aspect they please this Dayton, Ohio MMA school. Once warmed up, the students that were practicing BJJ ground techniques worked on their Mountaineer sweep from an open guard position at Tenbears MMA 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 at this MMA school 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 and gaining 2 points for the sweep. At Tenbears MMA in Dayton, Ohio we train to compete and for a basic exercise that won’t get boring in Dayton, Ohio. We finished up the "open mat" class at Tenbears MMA in Dayton, Ohio by doing some light BJJ sparring to apply the sweeps we just practiced.STAY TUNED TO GET MORE INFO ABOUT BJJ MOVES!

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.

Thursday classes at Tenbearss MMA in Dayton, Ohio are all about developing our stand up skills, including punching, kicking, clinch work, and takedowns in dayton ohio. Most if not all fights start standing up, so having excellent stand up skills is just as important as having good BJJ ground skills in dayton. We start out with warming our bodies up by practicing basic Boxing and Muay Thai punching and kicking drills against a partner by blocking and passing their strikes in Dayton, Ohio. These drills also help to develop reaction time to make it easier to tell when our opponent will strike and what strike they may use. After working those basic drills, we worked into "The Grind" where the students go round after round at different training stations practicing different skills such as Muay Thai pad striking, ground and pound strikes on a bag, punching and kicking against the heavy bag, using the speed bag and speed ball to help develop good hand eye coordination, as well as various other training drills in Dayton, Ohio. From there, after our bodies are good and tired from "The Grind" we then did live sparring against each other to practice our application of our Muay Thai skills in Dayton, Ohio. Once the sparring session is over, we worked into the abdominal section by doing leg raises at different levels as well as dropping a medicine ball on our stomachs to help condition them in Dayton, Ohio. As always we finished up by cooling down with our Yoga For Fighters session in order to keep our bodies nice and flexible in Dayton, Ohio.

 Students warmed up with rolls and break falls then transitioned to elbow knee escapes to condition the body for BJJ training in Dayton. Next they did a drill where they rolled over their partner who was on their hands and knees and practiced landing on the mat properly, then transitioned to the elbow knee escape again through their partner’s hands and knees. This type of drill allows for training in multiple BJJ aspects in Dayton, Ohio. From there, students then did a basic wrestling drill where one partner stayed in the hands and knees position while the other partner placed their chest on the downed partner’s back and practiced spinning in either direction while pinning their opponent down with their body weight. A drill like this helps to keep the opponent pinned to the ground while the student on top moves to different positions in Dayton, Ohio. Students then moved on to practice the "Wilson Guard Pass" which helps students get out of their opponent’s guard while doing BJJ in Dayton, Ohio. It involves the student in guard to put their weight forward onto their downed opponent and under-hooking one of the arms. Then students put their weight on the opposite site of their opponent and pin one leg down, switching their hips to that side and using their free hand to break their opponent’s guard. After that, the student brings their legs over the opponent’s pinned leg to pass the guard and end up in a superior BJJ position in Dayton, Ohio. Another variation of the sweep involves pinning one of the opponents arms behind their back instead of under-hooking it in the beginning of the "Wilson Guard Pass" then performing the rest of the technique ending with a full mount. The student can then bait the opponent into reversing the full mount by putting their weight to one side, ending up with the opponent in their guard with the arm still pinned behind the opponent’s back. The student can then pull the arm upward to create leverage against the opponent’s shoulder, making them "tap out" in Dayton, Ohio. After training in the "Wilson Guard Pass" students then did our "wiping the mat" session where they are able to do live BJJ sparring against resisting opponents to perfect their technique in Dayton, Ohio. Students then finished up class with an abdominal workout followed by some yoga for fighters to help them cool down from BJJ training in Dayton, Ohio.

Students started off with basic forward and side rolls followed by front and side break falls to toughen the body up for BJJ training Dayton, Ohio. Then students performed basic elbow-knee escapes to help with their defense and mobility on the ground in Dayton, Ohio. Next we worked on basic guard passing drills in Dayton, Ohio. From there, we transitioned to training in a basic BJJ sweep from the ground. To begin, students place one foot on the opponent’s hip and slid the other foot behind the opponent’s opposite knee on the inside, while grabbing the ankle of the opponent’s foot on the opposite leg, where the foot is placed on the hip in Dayton, Ohio. Then, while gripping the opponent’s sleeve or collar with the free hand, students push and pull on their opponent’s hips and legs, causing them to fall backward to the ground, while pulling themselves up on top of their opponent with the collar or sleeve grip. After drilling the sweep, students then moved on to the best part of class: "wiping the mat." This is where students are able to perform live application of the BJJ techniques we train Dayton, Ohio.

In Sunday’s BJJ technical class at Tenbears MMA in Dayton, Ohio we worked on a basic BJJ control technique called the "De La Hiva Hook" In dayton ohio. This BJJ technique involves hooking your foot inside the opponents leg on the inside of their hamstring, then keeping control of their opposite arm while your other foot is placed on the opposite hip of the leg being hooked. A BJJ sweep in dayton ohio can be applied from this control position by sliding your hooked foot up past the opponent’s groin to their opposite hip, then controlling the ankle of the opponent’s hooked leg and their arm on that side as well. From there, you pull on that arm to get the opponent off-balance and push with your hooked foot, driving them to the ground and following them into a side-control position in Dayton, Ohio. Lastly in class we had our live BJJ sparring session in Dayton, Ohio where students practiced applying the "De La Hiva Hook" control position and sweep against a resisting opponent in order to help perfect the technique in dayton ohio.

       The Introduction to Jiu Jitsu classes at Tenbears MMA in Dayton, Ohio are where every new fighter takes the first steps in learning proper Jiu Jitsu techniques in ohio. In Monday’s Introduction to Jiu Jitsu class, students warmed up by doing front and side rolls, followed by break falls in order to toughen the body up for Jiu Jitsu training in Dayton, Ohio. We then learned a basic Jiu Jitsu submission: the arm bar. When applying the arm bar from a standing position, it’s important to pull the opponent’s arm up to create space under their back and stick your foot underneath to keep the opponent on their side to create additional leverage against their arm. Then the other leg steps over the opponent’s head and you sit down against the opponents shoulder, hugging their arm in tight and creating leverage against their elbow until they "tap out". Our next Jiu Jitsu submission we learned was a basic side-control shoulder lock that can then be transitioned to another variation of the arm bar. The Introduction to Jiu Jitsu class was then finished up with the best abdominal workout in Dayton, Ohio then followed by yoga for fighters to help increase flexibility and prevent any future injuries.
