While every class at the Dojo allows the student to work on his
or her needs at the start of class (belt requirements, etc), the
training is then focused on a number of different topics. The topics
are scheduled so students are mentally and physically prepared for
the day’s workout.
These topics are as follows:
Blocking and Striking
The basic level of Jiu-Jitsu techniques are primarily composed of
blocking attacks and countering these attacks with strikes. This
is your foundation in the art. It develops, speed, focus, targeting
and confidence. The classes often involve striking combinations,
allowing the Jujutsuka (one who practices Jiu-Jitsu) to flow from
strike to strike. We also incorporate the use of targeting pads
so our students can learn proper striking.
Locks and Holds
This class emphasizes the use of arm bars (gatame) and chokes (jime)
to control attacker. Locks and holds allow the student to vary the
level to response to a situation. These can be used to control and
pin, or damage and worse.
Street Survival
Learning to defend against stick-type weapons (most commonly used
street weapon, whether it be in the form of a club, an umbrella,
or a pool cue), knife attacks, and occasionally gun defenses. These
are the only weapons we focus on in Jiu-Jitsu because they are the
weapons you will encounter in a real life situation.
Pinning and Grappling
This class focuses on the in-fighting aspect to self defense. This
includes wrist pins which utilize superior anatomic knowledge to
apply pain to the attacker’s wrist(s) to control, subdue,
or even finish an adverse situation. Also ground fighting techniques
are practiced. While many schools emphasize the use of grappling
for tournament use, this class emphasizes proper form while ground
fighting and the self defense reality aspect of grappling, as it
would be used in a real life situation. There are sport grappling
classes (for competition) run at the dojo at a different time.
Ippons and Throws
Ippons are “one step movements”. These are traditional
techniques that end with some type of throw and finish off. There
are many series of ippons throughout the A.J.J belt list (Basic,
Grappling, Nidan, ect). These classes also focus on traditional
fulcrum throws, such as O’Goshi, non-fulcrum throws, such
as Irimi-nage, and modern throwing techniques. These classes do
not require the students to fall until they have been properly trained
to do so. The emphasis of this class is proper positioning (body
kinetics and kuzushi (off balancing)).
Self Defense
Everything we teach in JiuJitsu revolves around self defense. This
class gives the instructor an opportunity to run a dynamic training
session, involving all aspects of Jiu Jitsu. Often times, this class
focuses on the uke (one who receives technique) grabbing the (tori
(one who applies technique) in some way, eg wrist grab, choke hold,
etc. The student (tori) learns to escape, counter, or even avoid
the danger of the situation.
