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.

       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!

    In our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class we drill all kinds of chokes. With and without the gi. Chokes are a very important part of grappling. In our classes we drill our chokes to get the feel of how the choke must be applied for it to be effective. The skill of utilizing the choke takes time to master and once it is learned becomes a very useful technique in self defense and competition. It is a very effective way to neutralize an opponent or attacker. If you’re interested in learning this and many other skills call us now at (937 361-0200). And don’t forget about our 30 DAYS FREE TRAINING.

The class today was amazing!!! We are getting down with the drilling arm bars and triangles in so many ways and so many times that it is becoming second nature. The kids bjj class was just as intense and with just as much drilling. The kids are really getting the technique down.

Class was amazing yesterday. The kids class was great. The drive these kids have 2 get better every class. Then with our adult class we just do what we do. Jui Jitsu and judo are a every class thing. The technique is what changes from class 2 class. We consistently apply new technique to our repertoire. That’s how u learn the moves tho constantly flowing and using what u learn in class. We normally start standing 2 practice some judo them once u hit the ground its jiu jitsu all the way. Gosh i live for this stuff. Ill keep everyone informed about the classes. You just keep that thirty days free in mind.

       Every time i think we got class 2day i get pumped. Todays class includes so much info, but the best think about it is its real life application. We train with real resisting people. The mats the most comfortable place that i know of 2day.
       Alright so lets get down 2 the class plan 4 today. We always start with a good stretch and maybe a lil pumling drills with take downs. Then once u get ur heart rate up and goin we keep the blood flowing with some pad work and lots of stand up technique. Just for those that dont know that our stand up techniques include mauy thai, judo, boxing, and some clinch fighting. Then we always do some brazilian jiu jitsu to finish off the night. Just think as many differant kinds of martial arts as there are out there wouldnt u like 2 get some of the stuff thats real life this stuff takes your normal karate class and puts it on another whole level. And our kids class is just as intense just turn more 2 making it fun and always has new techniques thrown in there.

Pumped 4 2marrows class. Its just something about being on the mat. That keeps me coming back, no matter what. 4 those that know what i am talking bout its the feeling you get every time you get in the clinch and are trying sweep after sweep 2 get the fight 2 that final stage ground fighting. Gotta love it!!!!!!!!!!
