   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!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Dayton, Ohio the Arm Drag takedown

Posted by torrey in technique , takedowns , mma dayton ohio , Martial arts in Dayton , martial arts , jiu jitsu , grappling , free training , fighters in dayton , drilling , compete in dayton , classes in dayton , chokes , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , bjj in dayton , bjj dayton , arm bars , 30 days free

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.

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!

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.

Saturday's BJJ and Judo in dayton, ohio at www.tenbearsmma.com

Posted by josh in technique , takedowns , take downs , sparring , self defense , mma in dayton , mma , mat , Martial arts in Dayton , martial arts , josh , ground fighting , grappling , free training , fitness training , fighters in dayton , drilling , classes in dayton , class , chokes , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , bjj , better shape , ab workout in dayton , 30 days free


Tenbears MMA in Dayton, Ohio provides the best BJJ training in both stand-up fighting and ground fighting in Dayton, Ohio. In Saturday’s class, our students learned the importance of properly "shooting in" when applying a single-leg or a double-leg takedown on their opponent. It is important when performing the takedown that the hands are properly grabbing the opponent behind the knees where the legs bend and getting your weight underneath the opponent in order to have the proper leverage. The body must also be as close to the opponent’s body to prevent the opponent from "sprawling" in order to defend against the takedown. Without being able to properly apply a correct takedown, our students would not be able to apply the Jiu Jitsu ground techniques we learn in Dayton, Ohio. Class was then finished up with our "wiping the mat" session, where we apply our Jiu Jitsu techniques against a resisting opponent in order to make sure we understand how to perform the techniques correctly in a live situation. Without this kind of training in Dayton, ohio we wouldn’t be prepared for when it really counts in a competition or a self-defense incident.

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

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.

~JASON ROGERS

 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.
