Back Attacks: Collar Choke to Arm-lock
June 24, 2009
This month on TeamRKS.com we are again featuring a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu technique excerpted from our featured book, Gracie Submission Essentials, which can be purchased in our Pro Shop. Buy a copy today!
From the book: “Your opponent is not a static dummy and will try to defend most attacks that you attempt. Although you have a timing advantage when you have back control, he will still try to defend and counter your choke attempts. When faced with with a good defense (to the choke), Royler switches to the arm-lock to catch David.”
If you click on the image to the left, you will be able to view both page one and page two that cover this technique (remember to look for the page forward or back arrows that appear halfway up each side of the page).

Martial Arts = Success for Kids
June 24, 2009
There are many, many choices of sports and activities available to our youth that can help them prepare for life’s challenges and whatever the future brings, but few can match the benefits that martial arts has to offer. By focusing on mind, body and spirit, the martial arts provide the necessary skills to improve every child and to take them to their full potential in every aspect of life.
While teaching a number of key character traits including courtesy and integrity, martial arts stresses respect. In fact, martial arts begins and ends with respect and encourages students to apply this philosophy to all aspects of life. It teaches respect for one’s self, as well as towards others. In addition, martial arts teaches kids how to manage their emotions, how to set and achieve goals, how to overcome obstacles and most of all, how to hold themselves to high standards.
Martial arts students see improvements in strength, flexibility, speed and timing at every class and then with the help of their instructors, learn how to bring these results into the home, school and a variety of other social settings. Most importantly, they learn that through hard work any goal that they set is achievable.
Martial arts teaches students to deal with conflict, to help others in need, recognize negative situations, and to challenge themselves to be better tomorrow than they were today.
Remember, success is a journey, not a destination, and we all need to stay on a quest to be our best.
Watch out for next month’s article on the importance of integrity.
