Bay Jiu-Jitsu


Trained at Stephan Goyne's Bay Jiu-Jitsu in San Francisco's Japan town. I was very impressed with the quality of Stephan's instruction. He has an excellent ability to break down moves into clear parts that students can piece back together into a comprehensive technique.


I enjoy methodology and analyzing my game, and Stephan seemed very structured not just in this class, but also in that he ties classes together, giving a strong sense of continuity between them. Another thing I liked is how he has a belt test for beginners. This is incredibly helpful for newbies who need structure, need to understand their knowledge level and need to know the differences between themselves from more advanced students.


Notes:


From SC, put OP far arm between your two heads and grab your collar. 1) pull op on side and move op head between your knees / legs, go to kimura or arm bar, 2) keep op arm locked and grab hips while moving N-S, slide hand not holding OP head underneath OP back and grab the collar, return to SC and let go of other hand to switch to a collar choke
