8.21.23 NGMA Today - Martial Arts in Thibodaux, LA

Today's schedule at Next Generation Martial Arts in Thibodaux, LA

4:30pm Pre-K Martial Arts - This week we are working on break falls, standing in base, and side control development. Break falls or "Ukemi", the ability to fall and minimize the damage on the body. Standing in base is a safe/fast way to get off of our backs to a standing position. It's the most important ability to have from and guard position. Side control is a dominant position that allows for control.

5:30pm Kid's Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu - This week we are working Mount 101, and escapes that build guard retention. Class will finish with closed guard passing drills.

6:30pm Adult Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu (GI) - We are continuing to work our De La Riva guard. The DLR guard has many variations and grips options that lead to sweeps and submissions. This guard plays heavily into our NGMA guard passing system when sweeps are executed properly.
