I think mainly because it is not taught…and if it is taught…it’s taught poorly.

Focus for the week ( ? )
This week I’d like to hear from you all what you will be focusing on. Some principle? A technique you want to master? Staying calm under pressure? Let us know in the comments.

I’m thinking escaping bad positions without using the upper extremities. Only using them for self protection….blocking wayward elbows, knees, etc.

Please share an "aha moment"
Can you share a technique or concept that you have learned from Professor James that has made a huge impact in your jiu jitsu or your thinking about jiu jitsu? I have 3 that I will share but first I want to hear what others in the group have. Thank you

The knee shield / half guard concept of pushing with knee shield and pulling with bottom leg to create an off balancing type of tension on your opponent. It’s good stuff.

Dream private lesson
If you could have a private lesson with anyone alive or dead, who would it be? You get a 2 hour lesson and lunch afterward. Pick one or add yours in the comments.

Man! When Helio came to Pedro Sauer’s academy in SLC…I was young and stupid. I thought…I’ll catch him next time he comes to town. I’ve regretted not going since that night. That’s why when Pedro opened his Virginia Academy and had Rickson doing a seminar, I had to go. I didn’t want to make that mistake again.
