Training Report: Side Control

This week we covered side control. It is also known as the 100 kg position in Portuguese.
It is one of the dominant position that you much achieve in order to get your points for a guard pass. The other dominant positions would be Knee on the belly, north south and mount.

Serge taught 2 variations of side control escape and 3 subs from side control (Americana, arm lock and Kimura) for the fundamentals.

Stu taught the kimura trap to the advanced students on Tuesday. The advanced students also got the opportunity to drill their own techniques on Thursday.

Next week, we are teaching Knee on the Belly.

Training Report: Back position and de la riva

It has been a busy last week end with the NZ grappler Nationals Nogi event on Saturday and Sunday
Session at ETK.

We did well at the National with 3 gold medals and 2 silver medals with only 7 competitors.
We refunded half of the entry fees to our BJJ club members.

The $100 submission challenge was split in 3 ways as each person had a submission: Etuini, James and Callum.

On Sunday, we had two matched NOGI inside a kick boxing ring during a Kick boxing card.
It was lot of fun and we likely to continue having matches with ETK if we can the call.

Please note that the regional GI is on Saturday 12 May so it is on very soon.

Also, we stop Nogi training on Tuesdays and we are full on GI until next spring/summer.

This week we also covered the back position for the fundamentals and a bit of De La Riva for advanced.

A couple of pictures from the last week end of fun.

Also, the gis are at the taylor and will take about a week to get all patched up.

We also had an intake with a couple of new members that seem to really enjoy themselves.

NZ Grappler is now using SJJF rules instead of IBJJF rules

We just found out today that NZ grappler will use new rules for next week event.

While SJJIF is not as established and prestigious as the IBJJF, I really like the content of the 70 pages with lot of pictures and also a very good video on their page.

Scissor takedown is legal from brown belt.

Time for matches for brown and black belt are only 8 minutes.

Also no advantages as per 

42.4 The SJJIF does not use an “advantage” point system; we believe this method adversely affects the overall turnout of the match and does not benefit the competitors. An almost point is not the same as an attained point for completing a full maneuver on an opponent. No match will be decided by referee, it will be decided by submission or points, and in the case of a tie, by “sudden death” overtime. For more information see Article 46.2

2 points for standing up after a double guard pull

l) Double Guard Pull: If at any point during the match both competitors pull guard with grips from standing at the same time, the first competitor to come to a top position shall be awarded points for a sweep after he/she maintains a controlling position on top of the opponent for a count of 3 seconds. Rules for double guard pull are as follows: i. Both athletes must have grips before pulling guard. ii. When both athletes with grip pull guard at the same time, one competitor must acquire a top position within 15 seconds or both athletes will be penalized with a negative point for lack of combativeness/stalling. iii. When both athletes pull guard, but only one athlete had a grip while standing the opponent must come up in order to not receive a negative point. iv. If both athletes pull guard without establishing grips first, both athletes will receive a negative point. v. If an athlete with grips pulls guard and the opponent either pulls guard or sits at the same time but without grips, if the athlete with grips goes up and establishes a top position for a count of three seconds he/she will be awarded two points for sweep.

Stalling rules are different


43.5 Consequences for stalling will be as follows: a) On the first offense the offender will be given a verbal warning. b) On the second offense the offender will be given a penalty point. c) On the third offense the offender will be given a second penalty point, and the referee will restart the fight with both athletes standing. d) On the fourth offense the referee will disqualify the competitor. e) Brown and Black Belts will receive a verbal command and negative point upon the first offense of a minor foul (not applied to lack of combativeness/stalling).
