Watch as Professor Jeremy demonstrates the Cross Collar maneuver by using the uniform lapels.

𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

➡️ There is an alternative finish to this technique - the “Quick Grip”. The second hand goes over the forearm in a “palm down” orientation instead of going in the collar. The Quick grip is a great alternative as it requires less use of the crowded space around the forearms and neck. 💡 Remember when using this grip, a proper Mountain Ridge setup creates a bucket of fabric to use between the shoulder and neck on the other side. This is a small detail that has a lot of value.

➡️ The practicing student executes a Scissor Sweep ✂️ with the initial Cross Collar grip and finishes the Cross Collar once in the Mount position.

The purpose of performing armbar drills is to develop strong lateral hip movement from the Closed Guard position in order to effectively apply the armbar technique.

❌ Don't fight it out... Kick it out with this week's ⤵️

🦶𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗢𝘂𝘁 (𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑝𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑘𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝐺𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑑):
A grip escape from the Open Guard where the assisting student is hooking an ankle. This is achieved by lifting the foot and passing it over the shoulder before circling back around the hand until it can be placed beyond the griping capabilities of the assisting student.

Don't lose your grip just yet! 😬 For today's we are 🤿 diving into the Kimura Grip...

𝗞𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽: A control or submission available from various positions where the assisting student’s forearm is below their shoulder. The Kimura is created by clasping an assisting student’s same side wrist and threading the other arm over the back of the tricep, through the pit of the elbow, and then clasping their own wrist.

💪 This is an incredibly powerful grip because you are using your two arms against one of your opponents.

See how you can incorporate this grip, along with the dozens of other positions and techniques in our glossary, throughout your jiu jitsu curriculum. 🔗 kidsprofessor.com/glossary-core

The biggest thing to remember is that teaching is a learned skill... 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘴.

If you're new to being a Jiu Jitsu instructor, don't get down on yourself. Just know that failure is part of the process, for both the student and teacher 🧑‍🏫🏔️

Kids Professor 🎓 came about in order to help prospective teachers and current instructors who are looking to expand upon their curriculum. The resources throughout can work collectively, but do not depend on each other, so you can pick and choose what you want to incorporate.

🌟 As always, we love to hear any feedback or suggestions to help us on our mission of improving the quality, scope, and reach of youth jiu jitsu programs! 🥋🚀

Going off of the last lesson we shared, this video shows how to DEFEND🛡️ the armbar technique.

🧑‍🏫 When teaching the L-Escape, here are some things to look out for...

✅ Ensure the practicing student does not try to lift up to remove the leg from their head. This is the strongest part of the leg; the Hamstring is too powerful to manually manipulate with the arm muscles.

✅ Once the practicing student grips their own lapel, it is important to pinch the elbow of the “attacked” arm to their ribs. This small detail gives great results in preventing the armbar.

For this week, Kids Professor 🎓 is covering the term 'Kesa Gatame' - a variation of the Side Control position where the near arm and head are controlled. 💪🎮

The goal of this technique is to control the space under the near arm and control the cervical to 🚫 prevent easy movements from the assisting student.

It's time for another 📚 Word Wednesday here at Kids Professor and this week we are breaking down the term 𝘑𝘰𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘴 ⤵️

🕹️ 𝗝𝗼𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘀: An alternative name for the Pistol Grip. The tip of the thumb is placed in the cuff of the sleeve and stretched away from the assisting student’s wrist. The fingers are then wrapped around the exposed cloth, clutching it in the palm. The fingers of the hand with the thumb are pointed up, and the cloth enters the hand through the 5th metacarpal bone.

🥋🤝 In order to reinforce a good training dynamic between students, it's important to follow our partnering guidelines.

⚠️ One guideline you should never forget is to "Explain the Why" - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not intuitive and sometimes trying to keep up with where you're supposed to be can be difficult.

💡 But, building a better understanding of WHY a training partner is doing something, rather than simply telling them what to do, will often lead to a greater understanding of the technique.

𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 = 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲.
