Here is a very cool clip of a BJ Penn doing some rolling with Leo Vieira. I actually know somebody that went to his seminars and they learned a lot. It was mostly mma related, but it was great. So check this one out and maybe you guys can learn something from it. Good luck BJ at UFC 80 Rapid Fire against Joe Stevenson!

Loading ...Since we did this with a Jiu Jitsu demo two days ago, I’m going to leave you guys with a Judo Denonstration for the last day of 2007. The video clip has about less then 30 throws that look like a lot of fun and a lot of pain.
Happy new year!

So Dean starts from his back on the mats, with his opponent (Jimmy) in his guard. Dean then shows us how to move your body properly to do the triangle properly so you don’t get slammed, stacked, punched and you can pull off an arm-lock from that angle (with his feet crossed).
NOTE: Some people actually teach not to cross your feet, but it looks alright from this position. I was told that what you are on top doing an arm bar, when you cross your feet, you lose power in keeping your thighs tight against your opponents arms.

This is a demonstration from Werneck Jiu Jitsu Academy open house in Sacramento, California, in 2003. Five minutes before the open house started, Cassio Werneck asked Tyrone Glover and Derek DiManno to perform an impromptu demo. The techniques included some of their favorite tournament techniques.

Then George holds his opponents head up as he drives his left foot under the opponents head. This makes it very tight and very hard for the opponent to get out. From this position, George can choke out his opponent, and the only way his opponent can get out his by pushing him back. Which results in Rush taking his arm and leaning forward for the armbar. George mentions that leaning back will be a mistake and you should lean forward to finish the submission because the gravity is causing the joint to go down and as a result he gets a tap.

Now that I’m doing a lot more training, I check out the Internet for some new moves to practice. Then I thought, why not post everything I see in one central place? So this is where I finally decided to create a blog where I can post videos, book reviews, gear reviews and anything else that comes up.
So it took me forever to decide on a domain name and since a lot of the .com’s are taken, deciding was not getting any easier. I checked out a Thesaurus site to look for some words I might like. Even though mma is getting really big, I did not want to use that term, I wanted something with ‘Fight’. So then I came across ‘Tactics’ and looked it up at Merriam Webster and got:
1 : a device for accomplishing an end
2 : a method of employing forces in combat
3: of, relating to, or having (such) an arrangement or pattern
4 : showing orientation or movement directed by a (specified) force or agent
So all, especially the first one was exactly what I was thinking of. I look for moves to accomplish an end which can be in sparring, fighting or competing.
Well for a little bit about myself. I actually got into doing Mauy Thai in 2001. At first I actually wanted to do Kick Boxing and had no clue what the difference was between the two. So while I was working out at a gym, their was a Mauy Thai class going on and got hooked right away. So the next day I joined and naturally fell into Jiu Jitsu since they also offered it. I actually do it has a hobby and only over the winter since I have other things that get in the way once summer arrive.
Well I hope you guys enjoy the upcoming posts, happy training!
