I started taking ballroom dancing lessons to improve my jiu jitsu, yeah you read that right. But for the life on me I just cant remember the steps. So I decided to post the videos on my blog, just like I post videos of Jiu jitsu moves so I dont forget them.
the first video is of the Argentine tango, atleast the basics. You are not going to get anything out of this video unless you are taking classes, but watch the video , the second half has the dance with counts. You will have no idea what counts are unless you take classes, so DO NOT ask me what they are



So after 2 weeks of Tango classe, that lady switched it up on me. She started teaching somet other dance called the Rhumba. I found this video with this really hot but dum chick and a dude wearing cheap ill fitting jeans. The instruction in the video is at the latter half of the video, so if you can bear the really cheap powerpoint visuals in the begining and the bad demo, it actually has some goood dance instruction



here is some basic Rhumba walk steps from dance universe


some more rhumba basic techniques


alright enough of that dance crap, here are some more jiu jitsu videos for all you people who come to this site to watch the jiu jistu (sorry I have been posting other stuff of late!)
So we did a lot of Xguard stuff ( not my favourite move). the X guard sweep is actually pretty simple but the calf splicer from x guard requires you to be really flexible. We did the gi version , but all I could find was the no-gi version. Naturally I am not going to tell you how to get into the calf splicer from the x guard because that is a patented Pedro move. If you are smart though you can see the splicer move , The dude in the video, his legs are actually set up to do it!!!
This video is actually good for X guard transitions. I feel that x guard is more of a No-gi move, because the Gi seems to get in the way a lot, or you have to be that flexible!!

I saw this on House last night or maybe the episode aired like days ago, I recorded it and it was on my DVR. Either way its been a while since I posted and a while since I heard the Baba O riely song, so here it is.

Yesterday in Wednesday's class

dubai Jiu Jitsu on Dubai jiu Jitsu




John G taught the class
since we had a lot of beginers we did basic escape from the guard. It was a good refresher course. I have posted a you tube equivalent of that (its really hard to find the exact video) but since this is just a database for me I don't really care. I mean you are probably an idiot if you think that you can learn jui jitsu from a blog or for that matter from a website. Get your lazy ass out there and work out!!!
I also found a loop choke online with great difficulty, this is not exactly what I had in mind but it will have to do.
