Day 1 - Gi Waiting in the hall for some of my team mates to hopefully show up and it just felt strange. I felt out of place.  The seminar started later than I expected, there were fewer people than I expected (maybe a dozen with 4 members being Toronto BJJ) and ended sooner than expected.There were no changing rooms as such there was a 'room' (see picture) So we few started off and I ended up being the odd one out so I was put with 2 total strangers. From the warm ups on - we really focused on being on the guys back with him in turtle position and how to get the hooks in from there by controlling the movement with the lapel etc. He covered the clock choke with variations and mostly concentrated on how to use action reaction to control. I could get to lots of the positions from S Mount which is cool. And I learnt the leverage behind the bow and arrow choke much better. But he moved so fast and it was like position, try it, next, position, try it, next, position, try it, next... 1 thing he did teach which is fundamental was the correct lapel grip if you have the guys and you are looking to choke him...back so he can just rip it out of your hand...(leverage) - video to come Then all of a sudden that was that and 'Cobrinha' called rolling time. I was like "really? whatever" and decided to continue drilling the moves we were shown with Peter from Toronto BJJ. After recording 'Cobrinha' sampling some Canadian Jiu Jitsu with a Local Brown Belt, it was pictures and 'see you tomorrow' (before the expected time but I think it was the clock being an hour fast)  I did manage to get some time with Cobrinha to record this video interview for my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blog.All in all I would give this day a 2.5 /5. |
