Bjj Tuesday

Alright. Went over a huge amount of stuff re take downs and take down defence, then a baseball bat choke.

Take-downs:
  • Keep weight mainly on the front foot
  • Keep one hand low near the leading leg to defend against single leg take-downs.
  • keep elbows in tight
  • keep eye focus just above their eye level, level shifting as necessary
Take-down eg method (gi)
  • With my rear hand grab their collar.
  • Grab above my rear hand with my front hand on their collar.
  • Jerk them down maintaining tension at all times on their gi, moving backward to again the grip loosening. When they react by pulling up, switch to a single leg take-down, and lift their leg by their ankle.
Baseball bat choke
  • left hand goes deep in their collar, fingers out of the gi, thumb grabbing the collar.
  • Right hand goes fingers in the gi, thumb on the outside, bringing the right hand right up against the left.
  • rotating butt around towards them and moving my elbow against their throat, slowly sit down and roll them over you.
  • The choke can be finished from here.

All these methods really deserver a bunch of attention.
