A cool morning at the dojo

Good day everyone

It was a pleasure having class this morning.  The cool weather was welcomed by all.

Today we started working on the arm bar in the guard.  This attack has a lot of invisible techniques and can seem overwhelming in the beginning.  With steady and focused practice it will all fall into place.  This is one of Jiu Jitsu's fundamental attacks from the guard position.  Overall everyone did a great job getting to know this attack. 

We will be working on arm bar attacks and defense this February.  Once a BJJ fighter learns how arm bars are applied in a few positions a light bulb switches on and they start to see that opportunities present themselves often for this attack.
