Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Technique Class

Well I had another good night of class Wednesday. I worked out a few more combinations that have proved to be very effective. I paired up a failed scissor sweep with an oma plata that is working well. Basically I go for the scissor seep but if the opponent is able to get his weight down on my legs first to defend I move to my elbow and push down on his head and come to my knees with my free leg that was the chopping leg for the scissor sweep. If he holds onto my right leg I roll over on my shoulder to an oma plata. If you arent familiar with either of these moves that probably doesnt make much sense but I thought I would share anyway as I really like the move since I was having problems with getting my scissor sweep blocked by higher ranking students.

I also wanted to announce that I am starting a new MMA forum that is going to have a section for Daily Jits readers if anyone is interested. Please leave a comment on the blog here if you would be interested in being able to talk to others from the blog on the forum. If there seems to be enough interest I will add the section for sure.

Last of all I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and best of luck to everyone in 2007.
