Joe Dulmage, Kennedy BellmanChapter 3: Comfort in Chaos
This week focuses on empowerment and the ability to remain calm and focused in otherwise uncomfortable situations (in and out of a fight). We discuss the challenges of “Zero Tolerance” School Policies and the importance of the Rules of Engagement. Techniques are practiced with an emphasis on remaining calm and with the goal of building confidence in all areas of life.
Little Champs
The Little Champs program is for kids 5-7 years old. Using our time-tested "Gracie Games", we teach the Little Champs basic self-defense techniques while instilling the foundational principles of leverage and control. The secret to the success of this program is that we make the lessons so fun that the kids beg for more! Once a child masters the ten core Gracie Games, they advance to the Jr. Grapplers program.
Today's class focuses on rear takedowns and armbars from the mount.
Jr. Grapplers
Joe Dulmage, Kennedy BellmanJr. Grapplers
In the Jr. Grapplers program, we focus on 33 non-violent self-defense techniques that teach children to "neutralize and negotiate" with bullies. Verbal assertiveness strategies are a major portion of this curriculum. A child needs absolutely no experience to stat, and we guarantee a noticeable increase in your child's confidence within a few weeks.
Today's class focuses on rear takedowns and armbars from the mount.

Joe DulmageClass 17 - Kimura Armlock – Guard | Leg Hook Takedown
Kimura Armlock - Guard
The Kimura shoulder lock was named after the Japanese Jiu-Jitsu champion, Masahiko Kimura, after he used the technique against Helio Gracie in 1951. Although this technique can be applied from several different positions, we have chosen to teach it to you from the bottom of the guard, since that is where you are most likely to end up against a larger opponent. In the first slice you will learn the Basic Application, then we’ll discuss two reliable variations that can be applied from the guard.

Leg Hook Takedown
Your goal in any one-on-one physical altercation should be avoid dangerous punches while standing, and then get the fight to the ground where you can more effectively control and defeat your opponent. The safest place to be in a fight, while standing, is in a clinch. From the clinch, your opponent’s striking power is almost entirely eliminated. You will learn how to close the distance and establish the clinch in a future lesson. In this lesson, we will teach you how to take the opponent down once you get there.

Joe DulmageClass 13 - Shrimp Escape (Block & Shoot | Shrimp & Shoot | Rider)
If the opponent is in your guard, the goal is to subdue him or get back to your feet. If he gets past your legs and approaches the side mount, all efforts should be dedicated to getting him back inside your guard. In this lesson, we will discuss three reliable methods for reestablishing the guard when the attacker gets around our legs, starting with the Block and Shoot Variation.

Joe DulmageClass 18 - Punch Block Series (5) – Guard | Haymaker Punch Defense
Punch Block Series (Stage 5) - Guard
From Stage 4 it is important that you drop your opponent back to Stage 1 as quickly as possible so that you are safest from punches and have the best control over their body. If, while in Stage 4, your opponent is not leaning forward heavily enough to be dropped to Stage 1, it is best to kick them away to Stage 5. In this lesson you will learn how to defend from Stage 5 as well as what to do if the opponent tries to throw your legs aside in their quest for a knockout punch.

Haymaker Punch Defense
In many cases, the precise movement and aim of your opponent’s strikes are hard to predict. Sometimes, however, your opponent is so eager to attack you that their punch is totally predictable. The Haymaker Punch Defense is used when a determined attacker comes at you from a distance with the objective of putting all of their bodyweight behind one fight-ending punch. Because of this punch’s power and predictability, the best option is to slip underneath it and get behind your opponent.

Joe DulmageClass 19 - Hook Sweep – Guard | Guillotine Defense
Hook Sweep - Guard
If your opponent leans all their weight forward from Stage 4, drop them into Stage 1. If they stand in Stage 4 without leaning any weight, kick them back to Stage 5. If they are leaning forward from Stage 4 but have one leg forward for base, you may have difficulty dropping them back into Stage 1, and this is precisely when you would use the Hook Sweep to reverse the position.

Guillotine Defense
When you establish the clinch, and your opponent no longer has the space or distance to strike you effectively, they will often wrap your neck in an attempt to submit you. For this reason, the Guillotine Choke is one of the most common techniques used by unskilled individuals because it’s simple and it gives them a feeling of control during the chaos. Although the proper clinch position should prevent the Guillotine Choke, your opponent may surprise you if your head is too low, and in this lesson, you will learn the most important Guillotine Defense principles.

Gracie Combatives
Gracie Combatives is our beginner program for adults. In this program, you will learn the 36 core techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour lesson addresses one standing and one ground self-defense technique, which are further broken down into simplified drills or "slices" to facilitate the learning process. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without any previous experience and, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in this program. Upon successful completion of the Gracie Combatives program you can test to earn your Gracie Combatives belt and, if you pass, you will qualify for advancement into the Master Cycle program.

Joe DulmageClass 14 - Advanced Guard Get-ups (7, 8 & 9)
If you don’t have the time or space to execute the previously learned Guard Get-ups, the Advanced Guard Get-ups are exactly what you’ll need. Although these variations take a bit longer to master, once you own them, your escape efficiency will skyrocket to another level. We’ll begin with the Direct Get-up and then we’ll discuss the Knee Shield and the Power Frame.
