For the next 4-5 weeks, I will be watching and reviewing the entire 4 DVD Set of Caio Terra's Modern Jiu Jitsu. To me, part of cross training is not just training with other schools or students, training in other sports to improve my Jiu Jitsu, but also studying and reviewing Jiu Jitsu. Learning the names and moves, and drilling them are not enough in my opinion. I know that I have a lot of holes in my game, so I'm going over this DVD set to brush up on my fundamentals and intermediate skill set.
My goal here in this DVD review is to ensure that I can tighten my game with the small details, so I can be a more efficient and effective grappler in competition. To me, this will be my mental training aspect for Jiu Jitsu. The notes that I will be taking are to fill up the holes that I have in my game and in my knowledge base. For future reference, I will use this as a guide as well when I become an instructor in BJJ. I chose to review this DVD, because Caio Terra is one of the most technical guys in all of Jiu Jitsu. He's also not that athletic and super strong, so I know his technical base is very good. I would like my game to mimic several aspects of his game.
DVD Part I - Moves that I learned for today
I spent 12 minutes watching the first DVD. Given below is what I watched.
He briefly goes over posture for 3-5 minutes. He likes to grip the lapels with a pronated grip within close guard to keep the opponent down and Caio prefers to be on his toes in all top positions for mobility. There were 3 Standing Open Guard breaks with 2 passes shown. The first 2 complimented each other within the close guard scenario. The Last one shown was a guard break to finish with one knee up against the opponent's butt, leaving options to knee slice or pass in another variation.
