NEW MEMBER AREAS
Sydney West Online members might have noticed two new video collections in the members only area of the website: Mini Instructionals and Jiu Jitsu Rolling Breakdowns.
Sydney West Online is the digital component of internationally renowned blackbelt and coach Luke Martin’s mission to train no gi jiu jitsu world champions. Sydney West Online began simply as the filming the daily classes and high level rounds at the Sydney West Martial Arts gym, but in the pursuit of gold standard jiu jitsu and MMA instruction, the online project continues to evolve.
As jiu jitsu and MMA athletes approach important competition it can be valuable to focus on certain techniques to gain advantage, specific areas of technique are chosen to match certain rulesets, opponents and/or personal fighting styles. Our new Mini Instructionals section serves this purpose. Rather than a traditional Sydney West class, Mini Instructionals cover an entire positional area. Most recently we have shared an Mini Instructional addressing Kata Gatame.
In Jiu Jitsu Rolling Breakdowns, on the other hand, Luke Martin gives technical explanations of professional, competitive no gi jiu jitsu rounds at the highest level. We’ve just uploaded Luke’s analysis of Kade Ruotolo, Andrew Tackett and Gordon Ryan. Studying grappling experts is essential if you want your game to stay cutting edge.
