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!

   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!

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.

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.

       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!

Till Next Time!

     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!

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.

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.

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.
