I agree that live training is important even (or especcially) for begginers.
To me so much of BJJ is about balance and sensitivity. To both your own and others movement.
I was thinking of running a basic passing lesson.
Start with a basic warmup, nothing too strenuous, because I don't know what the fitness levels will be like.
Explain that the majority of BJJ matches will involve passing the guard
After saying the first step is to get the guard open, show a basic guard break
drill
tell them that if you get one knee up, they won't be able to close it again. If they do, all the hard work of opening it, will be wasted
tell them that most passes involve moving under or over a leg
show them a basic reach around lapel pass (my favourite)
drill
show them a knee through pass, and say it works together with the first, depending where the opponent moves
drill
modified free training, just passing
if enough time some normal free training
explain that free training doesn't just mean sparring
use it to work on stuff
go easy so you can see what's happening around you
at least at first
waht do you guys think?
should I show a basic sweep too
so the person underneath can try something too
Once again, thanks for all the help
