I learned a lot tonight and was able to implement a couple tries at escapes. The format of the Elevated Studios Fundamentals class is about half technique drills and half rolling (Five 5-minute matches to submission).
I still have zero attacks from side mount, this week’s focus, but I’m learning to defend from that position.
The physical and mental challenges of each training session are immense. As difficult and draining as these sessions are, I can see why some return again and again to the jiu-jitsu mat. It is a place of constant learning under fire.
