Jiu-Jitsu in Woodstock GA

This week our Gracie jiu-jitsu class is studying methods to get into the mount position from a side control position. The mount position is considered one of the most dominant positions to be in if you are in a ground fight. You have opportunities to strike the opponents as well as opportunities to do joint locks on them. Also if you are smaller than your opponent, the mount position is one of the best positions to be in in order to control that opponent.

This week in class we are studying escapes from the side headlock position. It is common in a fight for people to grab the head and try to twist you down to the ground. This is one of the reasons you will end up in this position on the ground in a ground fight. with this in mind it is a good idea to study intelligent methods of escape from this position. And that is a good reason we study Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at the Atlanta martial arts center. Since the techniques and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu are designed to work for it weaker smaller individual, it is a good study for someone who is interested in studying a true self-defense that will work for them in a situation on the street. This is the area we specialize at the Atlanta martial arts center, all of our systems focus on real-world events and real world self-defense.

Jiu-Jitsu in Woodstock GA

Effortless Power

Most exercises in the west such as weight lifting, jogging, swimming, etc. works primarily on the muscular system and the lungs. The Chinese also partake in this form of exercise but they consider Chi Gung “Qigong” to be a higher level of training for the body. One difference is that Qigong loosens the muscles and expands the joints in order to build power. Aerobics, stretching and strength training will build a form of external strength and flexibility that is based on contraction in the body. The internal exercises of Qigong will build effortless power that is based on relaxation or expansion of the body. The more relaxed and open the body is, the more of its natural energy and power can be expressed.

I see this principle in our Jiu-Jitsu classes at the school. A beginning student will roll in a tensed state due to the fact that he is in a new environment and may be stressed from the new experience. But watch an advanced player roll and you will see a very relaxed attitude and a relaxed physical state. You will also notice that the more relaxed practitioner will feel much stronger and heavier than someone that is holding onto tension as they roll.

I have seen this in every form of martial art I have come in contact with. The farther along the practitioner is, the more relaxed they become and the more powerful they feel.
