having the opportunity to train directly with saulo on several occasions this video “starts” to display the depth of his instruction and below some video of the man in action..

We all have different reasons for going to the gym, different goals in mind ect. But one thing that’s always the same is the structured and personalised attention our coaches give every members when they come through the door and join any of our martial arts and fitness programs.

As a big thank you to current members for referring friends/family who also join the Elite training centre we have introduce the elite bucks program.

For every friend or family members you refer you can receive

1 new member=  $80 dollar facility/pro shop credit or 2 private lessons
3 new members = $200 dollar facility/ pro shop credit or 4 private lessons
5+ new members = $350 dollar facility/ pro shop credit or 6 private lessons

Talk about covering a few bases at the same time…

this new program allows you to share the benefits of quality training with your friends/family and at the same time put Elite bucks towards free months on your own membership, get new gear from the pro shop and best of all get FREE 1 on 1 training time with any of our instructors.

Dynamic Strength And Conditioning adds outdoor work.

Summer is on the way and with the warmer weather we expand our Strength & conditioning classes to include work outside the facility like shuttle runs, sprints,tabatata circuits and other interval work.

That being the case it is a good idea for everyone to bring running shoes suitable for outdoor wear to conditioning class for the warm-up portion of class until the end of summer.

Elite training centre club shirts are back in stock

2- Ran across some very rare.. footage that someone placed on the ever handy youtube

Diesel Noi is considered one of muay thai’s very best fighters  .. i’m talking elite in his and any recent generation.

With good reason.. best known for his legendary clinch/knee and push kick technique the man took on all opponents had a great record and applied his strategy in every match… check him out and let me know what you think.  

now the man in action vs a pretty good kickboxer that took place some time in the late 1980/ early 1990′s clinch work at its very best….  makes for a pretty one sided match in this case

so we dealt with jeff’s half guard fairly recently giving the unsuspecting local Jiu-Jitsu victims a counter they can use to shut things down. but on a more conceptual level there are a few points that need to be addressed as the person in the top and bottom position.

you posture and  body position will vary depending on your objective in the position ie passing,submissions or sweeping or taking the back from the bottom but a few basic rules apply

a- As the bottom man try to keep your back off the mat ie stay on your side.. there are exceptions to this rule but  in general try to avoid it

b- Do your best to keep inside control don’t let them wrap your head as it sets up that top man  shoulder pressure pass easily and makes life very tough for the man on bottom.

later later this week i will have footage detailing with hand and body positions but for now keep these lil tips in mind while rolling

As of recent a quite a few members have been asking about to do with our resident half guard specialist and i came across this tid-bit of info that will help you guys getting stuck in deep half guard without and answer.

 Your best bet is to avoid the bottom person from getting in deep to your hips so a head push and hip pressure or whizzer is best but as i like to say “when you in it, you in it!!!!” in ant regards here’s  an effective way out.

p.s

sorry jeff this will only make your guard  better

p.s later this week i will shoot a bit more in depth as to the step by step progression we use to shut down and pass the half guard in elite’s grappling system.
