About the Class Etiquette

 About the Class Etiquette

In our classes we have the following norms:

  • Do not interrupt the group work if your arrive late.
  • Try to focus on the techniques that are being worked during the group training, leave personal drilling and questions for the time we have at the beginning of each class where everyone can work on problems and specialization.
  • Follow the recommendations that the person leading the class has given to new people. It is good to help but if everyone gives different ideas to a new person for solving specific problems this person can get confused and overwhelmed.
  • Don't come to class if you have a serious and or contagious skin or respiratory infection.
  • Don't work on questions and problems after each round cause you will break the rythm of the session for all the training couples, instead leave your questions or suggestions for the end of the class.
  • Try to come to class with a clean gi or grappling cloth.
  • Keep your finger and toenails trimmed.

Whoever makes the opponent surrender via submission wins, and the fight ends at that moment regardless of whether the loser had more points than the winner. If at the end of the fighting time neither of the two athletes has submitted their opponent, the one that has scored more points or advantages wins. To...

About the ways to surrender in a Brazilian jiu jitsu fight

 About the ways to surrender in a Brazilian jiu jitsu fight Although it may seem obvious to those who have been in Brazilian jiu jitsu for some time, for those who are starting out it is not so easy to find a way to express that we give up due to a submission, danger of injury or simply due to fatigue or overwhelm. For this reason, it is important to know how to express that you give up in a Brazilian jiu jitsu fight. Possibly the most used way is to hit lightly, with the palm of the hand on some part of the opponent's torso or on his arms. The second way can be to kick against the ground in case both of our arms are blocked. And the third and surely the most efficient is to express it verbally saying "Tap". As we said initially, it is very important to recognize that many times we must indicate that we want to stop the fight not only because we are caught in a submission but also to communicate that a finger has been trapped, that we are going to fall badly or that we ar...
