Thursday Night Class Recap
Sorry for the lack of posts recently, with all the craziness with Jacare I've been a little slack but I'm sure everyone understands
Anyways, with the Lutador around the corner we have been splitting the classes but still working the techniques in the GI. Cobrinha has been keeping it compatable and tonight we worked on taking the Back from Butterfly Guard.
Cobrinha starts with in Butterfly with double underhooks on Dan
Cobrinha sits back and pulls Dan on top of himself
When his back hits the floor Cobrinha uses his shoulder and bumps Dan to the right
Once Dan falls Cobrinha ducks his head under Dan's arm and puts it behind Dan's right shoulder
Cobrinha uses his left leg to stretch Dan out. This gives him the opportunity to switch his hooks
Once Cobrinha has the hook he can climb to Dan's back
Cobrinha gets the second hook and takes Dan's back

Beginner Class Recap
Once again tonight's 6:30 class focused on Self Defense techniques. After some Judo drills Jacare demonstrated an effective takedown when someone throws a looping right hand
In any self defense situation we as Jiu-Jitsu practitioners we try take the fight to the ground.When Daren squares up and throws a right hook Jacare looks to defend by trapping his arm, closing the distance and taking the fight to the ground. As Daren throws the punch Jacare looks to block it by trapping the arm at the bicep.
As Jacare closes the distance he grabs Daren around the waist and brings his head into Daren's chest
Once he is on the inside, Jacare drives forward with his head and pulls in with his arm on Daren's lower back to break Daren's posture. As he drives forward Jacare hooks his right leg behind Daren's left takes him down
As Daren goes down Jacare steps his left leg over and lands in the Mounted Position

Beginner Class Recap
Today's class focused on retaining the guard, being aware of your opponents movements and reacting accordingly, after some stand up Jacare took the class to the ground
Starting in Jacare's Open Guard, Daren is looking to pass and get Side Control
As Daren throws Jacare's legs to the side Jacare reacts by diving his head and looking for the Double Leg
Daren Sprawls and begins moving to Jacare's back
Sensing the danger Jacare keeps control of Daren's hip with his right hand and pulls guard again
Daren is now stuck back in Jacare's Closed Guard and will be forced to break the Guard and pass once more

Beginner Class Recap
Tonight's class focused on defending your back. After the regular warm up Jacare went to the ground to show tonight's technique
From the seat belt grip Daren uses his right hand to attack Jacare's neck. To defend Jacare grabs Daren's hand with both his arms (Grabbing the GI just above wrist and the elbow), looks towards Daren's elbow and bridges to put both of his shoulders on the floor.
*It is important to take note to which side you need to fall, a good way to remember it is to follow the opponents fingers. In the picture you can see Daren attacking with his right hand so Jacare follows his hand and escapes to his left*
Once his back is on the floor Daren doesn't have the angle to choke him any more, Jacare can release his grip on Daren's arm, break Daren's grip on his collar, and swim his right arm under Daren's legs and keeps Daren's right leg in between his legs. From here Jacare turns his hips away form Daren and secures the Half Guard

Thursday Lunch Class
Today Jacare showed sweeps from the De La Riva guard.
-Right when Alec stands up to pass Jacare hooks his left foot around the outside of Alec's right knee, and Jacare then posts his right foot in Alec's left hip, pushing on Alec with the right foot.
-In response to this push Alec drives forward with his hips. Jacare encourages this by pulling forward with his left (hooked) foot and both arms.
-Once Alec's weight is all the way forward Jacare pulls Alec's arms towards the mat and pushes up with his legs, pulling Alec over the top.
-Jacare rides the momentum, ending up mounted on Alec.
