Wise Jiu Jitsu Waxahachie

Ladies Noon Class 💪

Today's focus was working a submission from closed guard: the Kimura.

We worked on securing the Kimura from closed guard and, just as importantly, what to do when our partner defends it. Instead of forcing the submission, we used their reaction against them and transitioned into a sweep that put us right where we want to be: on top in mount and in control.

A good reminder that sometimes the submission is the goal, and sometimes it's the pathway to a better position. Either way, we're winning. 👊

Great work today, ladies!

Back to the Lab… 🔬

After tournament weekend, it was time to revisit some fundamentals and sharpen the details that make a big difference when the pressure is on.

Today in our Ladies Noon Class, we focused on side control escapes, emphasizing regaining strong frames, using shoulder grips to push and pull our partners off balance, and utlizing hip escapes to create the space needed to recover guard.

We also worked on a reliable full guard break and pass sequence, focusing on maintaining a sturdy base, keeping our arms and legs safe, and finishing with a pop-through knee that led into a knee slice to reach side control.

To finish class, we tied both techniques together with a positional drill:
➡️ Escape side control and recover guard.
➡️ Break and pass full guard to regain side control.

Great work today, ladies! Sometimes going back to the fundamentals is exactly what helps us move forward. 💪
