The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo in the early 20th century. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend himself against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique most notably by applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense. In this advanced class, we will expand on the basic principles and positions taught in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 1, while emphasizing the mental strategies needed in implementing various attacks and defenses. As Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an ever-evolving art form, this course will begin to explore the students abilities to create their own unique style of playing the art. We learned in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 1 that there are 1,000 ways of doing each move, and that there is not necessarily a right way of applying a technique. In this class, each student will focus on developing his or her own style of Jiu Jitsu.

2 Your instructor will demonstrate the techniques for the class, and then have each student perform them in a slow and controlled fashion while he or she stands by to assist and direct. There will be no live contact at any time during the class. Pre-requisite(s): Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 1. This is an advanced course. Students will be expected to be familiar with basic terminology and especially positions taught in the previous course. Attendance at a beginner level class may be permitted to reacquaint students with basic concepts, if necessary. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be dropped from the course because the content is not appropriate. Required and Recommended Equipment/Material(s): The gi (uniform) is required. If you need a JIU-JITSU gi, please let your instructor know so you can be charged a $65.00 course fee for a uniform and provided with one. If you have your gi from the previous course, you will not need to purchase another one and there will be no course fee. Tips for successful participation in class: Attendance and participation are the keys to being successful in this class. We will have 7 written assignments during the course of the semester. Each week you will be asked to turn in a paragraph or two that will relate to the previous week s techniques. The assignment criteria will be fully explained in class by your instructor. A final exam on the last day will be a practical application of the various techniques we have covered. It will not be required, but students are encouraged to keep a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu notebook where they can take notes on lessons and experiences. The Jiu Jitsu Journal has proven to be quite valuable to very experienced Jiu Jitsu players, and will help students with their weekly assignment. Extra credit may be given at the instructor s discretion for detailed journals. Grading Policies: 75% participation 10% written assignments 15% final exam Grading Scale: A A B B B C C C D D D F Less than 70.00

3 Schedule: Week 1 Closed Guard We will focus on multiple lapel chokes and their defenses including Cross choke, Baseball choke, and Ezekiel choke among others. Maintaining a SOLID BASE will be one of the key concepts taught and reinforced throughout the semester, beginning in week 1. Week 2 Opening the Guard We will begin to incorporate advanced triangle chokes, guillotine chokes, omoplatas, and armbars into our application of the guard. We will instruct submission defenses that position the student to re-take the initiative when threatened from within his opponent s guard. We will introduce students to the concept of FLOW DRILLS so they will be able to smoothly transition from one submission or position to the next from muscle memory. Week 3 Sweeps and Passing the Guard We will spend an entire class on the halfguard. We will teach multiple sweeps and passes when utilizing and caught in the halfguard. We will teach the DARCE CHOKE and the defense from the half-guard. We will demonstrate attacking and defending the BUTTERFLY GUARD.

We will focus on both HIGH SIDE CONTROL and REVERSE SCARF in our advanced course. Week 5 North/South and Knee on Belly Positions We will teach the Kimura/Armbar/Mortal Kombat FLOW DRILL from the North/South position, and the INVERTED TRIANGLE defense. We will teach three escapes from Knee on Belly and a transition linked to an armbar from the top position in the form of a FLOW DRILL. Week 6 The Mount Instruction will focus on achieving and maintaining the HIGH MOUNT for students on the top position. Submissions will vary based on class ability, but will include the TRIANGLE, ARMBAR and variations on the Z-MOUNT position in FLOW DRILL format. Mount defense and escape will be taught, including UPA, BACKDOOR, and LEGLOCK SWEEP. Week 7 Back Mount Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the REAR NAKED CHOKE, which will then be paired with the GABLE GRIP variation, and put into transition with the SIDE ARMBAR in a FLOW DRILL.

The final exam will consist of a comprehensive, practical application demonstration on an instructor of all of the techniques covered throughout the course, and will be performed in front of the class.
