Step 3: Check in on Foursquare each and every time you come to the gym and TRAIN. Go to “places”, look for Absolute Self Defense and Fitness. Check in then. Not when you drive by or late at night. 
That’s all there is to it…
So, who will be next? You?
I want to welcome new fighters to our Self Defense and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu team:
The Limon Family!
It’s SNOWING!!! Since I have the morning off, I was going through all the blogs that I follow on Fitness, Self Defense and such and found a great article on back pain and spinal alignment. Something I harp on during every workout.
So, here is the first paragraph, but you’ll have to read the full article here. Posture – Why Your Back Hurts.
From Craig Weller at Elevating Fitness.com
We’re all born with near-perfect postural alignment. Watch a toddler walk, stand, reach overhead and squat and you’ll see tremendous mobility and safe strong joints.
It’s pretty much downhill from there.
North American culture has us spending an inordinate amount of time in the sitting position. A great deal of time and effort goes into preventing us from expending, well, time and effort when it comes to moving around in our daily lives. Items on shelves are always within arms reach, if we have to move very far we hop on an escalator, an elevator or get in our cars; and a job that involves spending much time on one’s feet or lifting something heavier than twenty pounds is considered “strenuous.”
Keith Owen BJJ
I wanted to take a second of your day and tell everyone that I (we) have been accepted as students and affiliated members of Mr. Keith Owen BJJ.
Mr. Owen was gracious enough to accept me as his student even with all the military moving baggage that comes with being a Soldier who loves the ground game. Mr. Owen has a outstanding background in the martial arts with instructing BJJ as his forte. He is a accomplished BJJ instructor who comes very recommended from some of the more well known instructors and black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Here is part of his bio…
Keith Owen is a 1st Degree Black Belt under Professor Pedro Sauer and is a Pedro Sauer affiliate in Boise/Meridian Idaho. He has trained in Jiu-Jitsu for the last 17 years and has made it his life’s work to promote the technical side of gi, no-gi and MMA Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
You can check out Mr. Owen at BJJ Moves.com to see more of his work and instructional ability.
I am very excited about this new opportunity to learn more Jiu-Jitsu and to be able to learn from Mr. Owen.
Here is a quick and easy self defense tip for when someone grabs one of your wrists and tries to pull you somewhere you don’t want to go.
- Step back sharply and jerk the attackers arm down and towards the ground at a 45 degree angle. (this will off balance them)
- Yell or shout. I like to tell folks to spit in their face and scream, “I have AIDS or Swine Flu”, or something like that to freak out the attacker. (this will begin to change their thought process from holding on)
- Just for illustrations sake, we will pretend that your left hand is the one captured. So, after you jerk and shout; immediately / at the same time shove the palm of your hand upward and slam into their chin. You want to drive their head back and snap their teeth together. (this redirects their attention from the grip, establishes pain to divert their muscles from the grip)
- Lastly, after the chin strike rebound your arm downward to the attackers arm that is holding your arm. We are aiming for the area forward of the bend in their elbow. (This spot is a nerve sensitive area and a strike will cause a flex response and cause the release of your wrist) Repeat as often as necessary.
- Once you have struck the attacker’s arm, rebound your arm and strike them in the face with your forearm.
- Run. Find a safe place or refuge to complete number 7.
- Notify Law Enforcement authorities.
There you go. Quick, down and dirty self defense technique to escape a wrist grab.
