CURRICULUM, WEEK OF April 6th

This week, CTA classes will focus on escaping and attacking from side control. We’ll start by learning how to defend and escape the key lock (Americana) before shifting to controlling and submitting from top position. Later in the week, we’ll transition to mount, emphasizing strong frames for both offense and defense, along with key control and submission strategies.

In CTB classes, we’ll begin by learning how to pass the X-guard, a powerful open guard position. Once we establish strong passing mechanics for the x-guard, we’ll transition into positions from side control, working on controlling, mounting, and submitting our opponent. Expect to refine your top game strategy, blending precise movement with heavy pressure.

Lastly, in CTC class, we’ll focus on escaping tough bottom positions like keza gatame and north-south. These are some of the most dominant pins in grappling, and learning to escape them quickly and efficiently is crucial for survival. We’ll cover key frames, hip movements, and explosive escapes to ensure you can regain a better position. Let’s get after it! 👊🔥
