An intensive 15-minute 'Express' session focused on the core mechanics of the clinch and sprawl. Students learn to close the distance safely and defend against leg tackles with maximum efficiency.
Students engage in specific task-based grappling games, such as 'King of the Hill' or 'Escape the Mount.' They start in a specific position with a clear goal (e.g., hold the position for 10 seconds or escape). This allows for full-effort practice with limited variables for safety.
Students explore how to reverse a position from the bottom using bridges and rolls. They apply the concept of 'trapping' a post (arm or leg) to flip a partner over. This lesson highlights the use of leverage over strength.
This lesson introduces standard grappling positions: Mount, Side Control, and Guard. Students learn the hierarchy of these positions based on mobility and safety. Solo drills on the mats help students understand hip movement (shrimping/bridging) required for ground movement.
