Teaching BJJ As A Blue Belt

Posted by Anthony in BJJ, BJJ Blue Belt, tags: BJJ Basics, BJJ Blue Belt requirements

I have been teaching BJJ basics class for almost a year now. I love to teach the class. The class consists of white belts, and a few blue belts will attend occasionally. I cover the basic body positions, transitions, and submissions. I mostly stick with body positions and transitions. Since each transition there are submissions, I take the class through a series of transitions first then lead to a submission.

I think transitions are so important to start off with. You get a sense of body weight control and hip movement. Like every white belt, myself included when I started, is so tense and want to use so much muscle and energy. When you discover how you can throw you leg back, switch your hips, and eliminate space, and keep moving that way and not go for submission, but move around in different ways, it opens a whole new world of possibilities.

This last week I taught a transition going from knee on belly with your front leg, the leg that is towards the head, throw the other leg over the head and bring your knee next to your opponents head, making sure the arm closes to you is out, then grabbing the tricep and transition to an arm bar. It is a great transition and I always see my instructor doing this body movement in someway or another.
