Advice on kids program

RikBaer — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:10:45 GMT

I'm designing a children�s program that is based on safety and fitness. On the "safety", I'm writing a curriculum on safety awareness, safety avoidance, and self defense. And "fitness" will be based on the physical education framework. This will be the first of its kind.

My question is "how should I package it?"

a) Use a belt ranking system is common and great motivators
b) Use a t-shirt to distinguish curriculum
c) Use different colored wrist sweat bands (like tennis players)
d) Other

Some of the children�s families are Title I, therefore, I�m leaning towards wrist bands because it�s the cost effective for all families.

Some history...This is the 1972 FILA Sambo manual. FILA govorned international sambo from 1972 - 1986. The first world championships were held in 1972. This book is a real piece of history and a glimpse of what the sport was like back in those times.

NYCS's Brad Desir wins this weekend

sambosteve — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 17:42:38 GMT

NYCS's Brad Desir (3-2) fought this weekend (the 14th) at Onslaught Fights "Rising Power" against Grayson Rowney (4-1) of the One Spirit.

He brought home another W for himself (now 4-2) and NYCS. Thanks to Tyga Maclin and Miguel Rivera who have busted their butts to help prepare him! And to all the guys at NYCS who have put him through the paces!

This was also Brad's last fight at 185. Dropping to 170 after this. Since joining the club, Brad has really focused and tightened his game. We will be seeing a new Brad in this fight!

http://www.osfights.com/

Brad won at 2:36 of round 1 via armbar. The guy tried to go belly down and his arm broke. I am very proud of Brad. He tightened up his game significantly! All that hard work, driving down south for a sweet 2 and a half minutes.

Video coming soon.

My first tournament

Quinn B — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 06:06:13 GMT

NAGA Southwest is almost here, just over a month away and I have some questions for those of you who don't mind indulging the relatively clueless.

First off, I am not an incredible athlete or hell bent on making a career out of grappling so this is mostly just a test of how far I've developed technique wise and for fun. That being said, I really don't want to bite off more than I can chew so should I stick with just my weight class or go for more than one division?

There is apparently a "consolation ring" for those who didn't place 1st-3rd in the adult divisions, so if I get knocked off early at least I'm guaranteed two matches for the drive up to Dallas. Money is very tight at the moment and without carpooling I don't even think I could make the trip, so I want to get as much competition in as is sane for a 152lb white belt.

The thin line

JudoFrank — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:19:55 GMT

The couple of Jiujitsu tourneys I have been to recently I noticed more and more Judo being applied in matches. Further more I have compared sections from Bjj books that were publish 5 years ago to BJJ books that have been written in the last two years. The older books really didn't elude to Judo much at all. In fact the only take down or throw that was even shown was the double leg. In more recent Bjj books not only does the author include Judo throws but even refers to the throws by their Japanese name(ie Ippon seoi nage, Osoto gari). Its like BJJ has come full circle in regards to its origin. I myself like this because I'm a student of both arts.
