The class is part of membership in Langes MMA so try it out.

Ok fellow instructors and students, this month we will be focussing on escapes mainly from side.  Most classes will consist of around 80% flow roll/light spar.  This is low intensity and speed, allowing both players to gain a positive experience from each encounter.  A couple of things to remember in doing and monitoring flow roll/light sparring:  this type of training is not win orientated, if doing submissions it is catch and release, if striking it is tag not smash, try and make it a two sided experience with 50% offence and 50% defence, also communicate to your opponent when they start to lose it.

Note to Instructors:  A couple of methods to help students to light train are:  the freeze technique, move to move, job description and swap positions.  Please guys all focus on this for the month of April.

I hope you enjoy your Easter break.

That match was great to watch1 BIG congrats to Rob Hill on the WIN from all the crew at Langes MMA

Great display of Jiu Jitsu maybe that Brown belt is not that far off.

Love the escape and now that’s the way to do a real back choke!

So far this year, January we worked in depth on half guard.  February two chokes from back and twenty ways how to do it!  March is all about reverse figure four (Kimura).  This depth of technique allows the student the time and the repetition to become proficient in a short time using this method.  Stay tuned for April!
