On 4/28, Syosset Martial Arts Center had its first taste of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ, under the tutelage of professional MMA fighter Adam Schortz. The offical Syosset Martial Arts Center, BJJ program will be beginning this week on May 1st. On 4/28, at the Open House, we were lucky enough to get a taste.
Adam, or Coach as he prefers, did a quick overview lesson of what skills BJJ incorporates and what we'll have the opportunity to learn from him. Rather than going straight into ground fighting techniques, Coach decided to introduce us to the standing aspects of BJJ by showing us how to perform a standing kimura and a standing guillotine starting from the over-under clinch.
Next, coach showed us how to go for an outside reaping take down followed by a rather trickier single leg takedown. I can't begin to say how excited I am about this program. I've been wanting to try BJJ for years, and this is a fantastic opportunity.
More information will follow as the lessons progress!
