THEME OF THE WEEK! 02202012


This weeks theme of the week will be on side mount attacks! This week we will be switching gears and playing a more aggressive roll by concentrating on out top games. As we’ve been doing for the past few weeks, we will have a start and an end in our path with the side mount being our fork in the road. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, come to class, check back here, or got to www.jitzbro.com where I will further elaborate on the change to our training and drilling in class. I will delve into what we are doing and why. So come to class so you can work on both your top and bottom games from side mount.

CAIO TERRA SEMINAR REVIEW!

Holy $h17! Holy cow! Holy crap! This is the only way I can think of that describes even the slightest inkling of how blown away I was by this seminar. I was yet again, blow away by Caio Terra’s Seminar! The level of instruction, the technique, the direction, the care was second to none! No other seminar have I been to has there been an instructor who cares so much about whether or not the seminar participants fully understood the techniques or not. This seminar was more hands on than I’d ever seen at a seminar.  Again, Caio out does himself yet again!

NEW JAY PAGES JIU-JITSU BLUE BELT! MATT LINCOLN!

Last weekend served as our last belt and stripes promotion for the year. Every promotion I always do something different. The structure always remains the same, however I always throw in a curve during the promotion. This promotion had only one individual testing for their belt. My affiliate in Maricopa, Matt Lincoln. I wanted him to earn his belt and earn his belt he did! And then some! He did the technical requirements of the test as required, then he went on to the sparring portion of the test. He went a minute with everyone! 20 minutes total and straight without rest! Here’s the curve ball! He also did a minute with everyone standing up. Just doing take downs and throws. That’s 40 total minutes of sparring with only 2 minutes of rest! Congratulation Matt Lincoln, you more than earned that belt! He did a fantastic job, and I couldn’t be any prouder to have him as my blue belt.

Coming to Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu & MMA for an awesome 3 hour BJJ seminar. This seminar is something I’ve been working on for some time. An opportunity to host a seminar for Caio Terra in our back yard.

It’s typically one or the other. He not only brings to the table, championship black belt level techniques, he brings championship black belt level techniques with experience!

FANTASTIC SEMINAR WITH MARCELO ALONSO!

This past weekend played host to a number of events. Events such as the Ultimate Fighter Finale and a Boxing event headlined by Cotto vs Margarito! Another major event that took place was the Marcelo Alonso BJJ seminar and belt promotion. The seminar took place at Ruffhouse Jiu-Jitsu in Mesa AZ. The seminar consisted of 3 hours of solid technique that both beginner and advanced players could add to their repertoire of BJJ techniques. As a BJJ Black Belt for 3+ years and as an avid participant in seminars I have to say I was thoroughly impressed with the information and how the information was conveyed. Marcelo’s teaching method was playful and the way he taught made the information stick. The seminar fantastic and we all had a great time and learned a ton! Time flew by so quick, I looked at the clock and saw the seminar was almost over. For others thinking about hosting professor Alonso, DO IT! Don’t hesitate! Do it! You won’t be disappointed!

Muito Obrigado Professor for a Fantastic Seminar! I look forward to training with you again.

GREAT POST WRITTEN BY MY BROTHER! HEAD OF PAGES BROTHERS BJJ, PI!

My brother, PJay Pages (Head of Pages Brother BJJ, PI) recently had a meeting with his students/team to discuss training, the team, and the gym. The reason for this meeting was an attempt to boost consistency in training amongst his students. He has just started teaching and he is experiencing his first hurdle as a BJJ instructor. A hurdle that we all, as instructors come across at one point in time. Inconsistency! It’s almost a regular thing with a lot of schools and students around the world. You’ll have your dedicated students and then you’ll have your students that come and go. He brought up some great points during his meeting that he posted for his students on Facebook that I would like to reiterate and add to my students and to anyone else that would like to heed my words.
