Jiu Jitsu (Jiu-Jitsu) will make your self defense skills more complete. 95% of self defense situations end up going to the ground. Jiu Jitsu (Jiu-Jitsu) can be a great workout that involves every muscle group in the body.
As with all our classes my objective is to run this class as congruent and as safe as possible. For all techniques, starting out slow enough to do it right and safe. Then slowly adding speed, power, resistance, and always with control.
Tapping Out: To an opponent is akin to falling off a surfboard when trying to surf. It is just part and parcel of the Jiu Jitsu (Jiu-Jitsu) environment. Tap earlier rather than later, be safe! Tapping is fine - it's how we learn. When tapping, firmly tap on your partner, whenever possible. If you tap on yourself or the floor, your partner may not realize it. If possible, it is good to accompany a tap with a verbal cue such as "okay" or "stop" If someone taps or says anything like okay or stop you must immediately stop and release pressure.
Be aware of who's around. Be aware of what's around. It is better to stop early and relocate than bang into someone or something.
Relax! Many people start out way to tense & rigid.
Sweat, Learn, and have Fun.
Hygiene: Personal hygiene is always important in a martial arts school, but it becomes even more important as students grapple together in close quarters. Students should always be clean and have a clean uniform. They must keep their nails trimmed and hair pulled back. All jewelry should be removed. If possible remove contact lenses. Let the instructor and your partner know if you wear any joint brace.
Being a Good Jiu Jitsu (Jiu-Jitsu) Partner: The first and most important way is to train in a friendly manner and share techniques. When a student is made to tap, they should be encouraged to ask the partner what they did wrong and spend a moment reviewing it. Another very important way students can be good partners is by giving the appropriate amount of resistance during training drills. A very common error students make during practice of new techniques is to either resist their partners too hard which does not allow their partner to practice the move, or to provide too little resistance which deprives the partner of any sense of the reality of the move. A good grappling partner will provide a small amount of resistance so the student can have the sense of applying the technique against a real person, yet have success with the technique which in truth, they do not yet know well enough to make work. As they practice, the partner will increase the resistance just to the point that the student can still make the technique work properly. In this way, a good partner acts like training wheels, helping the student learn until they can go 100% on their own.
