Learning Self Defence


Tui has been fortunate enough to spend the day with Phil from GSW Club.
His warm up was a series of stretches and then we played the cool game of knee tag.

Next we learnt how to have a strong posture.


We learnt that a strong base helps us from being pushed or pulled.

We then learnt techniques to help us escape.

After break it was time to learn the technical "get up."


Defend myself by "using my voice." This means I need to also use a frame as I attempt to fend off the attacker and yell stop.
We have our framework so now we need to learn how to cope when we are taken by surprise.


After lunch we learnt what to do when we are attacked from behind


Thanks Phil for some amazing learning😄
Please comment on what you have learnt. Talk about techniques that really clicked with you; what the philosophy of Brazilian Jiujitsu is; what you thought of the learning for the day; what Phil meant by creating a frame; a break fall etc
