Honiara Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Dear All, Unfortunately I no longer in the Solomon Island and have returned to Australia. To my Honiara BJJ friends- would any of you like to take over admin duties for this page??

I’m still waiting for my mats and my house to be ready but had a great time teaching both gi and no gi bjj this week.

Not long until we’re back! More mats coming too!

Here are the techniques of the week. Three open guard passes that work well in combination. Make sure to focus on controlling them as you pass.

Some fundamental principles to consider in your grappling.

The 10 Principles Of Grappling, By Luta Livre Master Roberto Leitao Written by Raphael Levy of Jits.fr With two colleagues, I was doing a few years ago my first pilgrimage to Rio.

Something to think about when we're drilling our techniques. Always start slow, develop the correct technique, and build from there. If you rush when you're learning a technique you may miss the finesse that makes it effective.

Slow down, build exact neural pathways. The less you need to think about your movements the smoother the practice will become. Precise movement that doesn’t require thought and that can be repeated at will is the only true fast.

Happy New Year and welcome back to training for 2018! Jiu-Jitsu classes resume at 5pm this Tuesday. This week we will work on some situational self-defence techniques and further our guard game. Look forward to seeing you all on the mats!

Great training this week everyone! And great to see Paul on the mat again to get another purple belt rolling with us all. Next week will be the last session before the Christmas break so let's get a solid session in!

(Yes, we missed most of the class in this photo, but we had to take one anyway for tradition.)

Another great session on the cards for tomorrow! And Paul the purple belt will be back in town so a great chance for everyone to test their skills against another senior belt. See you on the mat!

Evening iufala evriwan! Looking forward to seeing you all at training this Tuesday at 5pm.

We will be covering my favourite (and the most versatile) self-defence technique, reviewing our submissions to date and finishing off with lots of rolls! Don't forget to bring some water!

Training is back on at 5pm tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing you all on the mat for a tough session. If you have a gi, bring it along and we'll work on some of the strangles it makes available.

FYI there will be no training on Tuesday 21 Nov. Coaches Jake and Hans will be in Gizo and Choiseul respectively so there are no coaches around. Training will recommence on 28 Nov at 5pm. Practice your drills until then!
