Women’s self-defense workshop (video)
Martial arts for your Health (on all levels)
For your health is a great, long-term reason to train in the martial arts because it will fulfill you on many different levels.
Basic Brazilian Jiu-jitsu flow pattern
Warming-up at the start of our grappling class with this continuous transition flow pattern for 3 mins.
UMA floor bag workout
For our 15 min warm-ups we drilled a floor bag workout. Here’s a visual sample.
Finishing moves from stick-clinch
In this Escrima class, we began with 4 different finishing moves that are all accessible from the reference point of the clinch.
UMA Drilling 3x3min rounds
Three-person group. Roles: Striker, Thai pad holder, Grappler.
Each person takes a turn being the striker: punches 30 sec, grapples 30 sec, skip knees 30 sec, grapples 30 sec, Thai kick (twice each leg) 30 sec, grapples 30 sec. Finale: 10 push-ups.
Roles rotate: The striker becomes the pad holder, the Thai pad holder becomes the grappler, and the grappler becomes the striker.
Drill continues for a total of three 3-minute rounds so that all participants get a turn being the striker.
No conserving. As a result the striker gets constant work for 1 full round.
(Note: This video demonstrates the only first time through. Two more times follow.)
“What gear do i need when i start at Unbridled Martial Arts?”
To begin at UMA you need to have hand protection — either 16 or 20 ounce boxing gloves or inexpensive cloth hand wraps.
When sparring and grappling, males must use a groin protector!
To free-spar: mouth guard.
The rest of the gear is optional if you want to participate in the weapons class and/or advanced sparring.
To stick-spar in the weapons class: one 28″ ActionFlex safety stick, headgear w/ face guard, hockey or lacrosse style gloves.
For higher levels of sparring: both partners need to own heavy-duty shin guards & headgear.
