Προπόνηση Jiu Jitsu - Προετοιμασία

Τι είναι το Brazilian Jiu Jitsu;

"95% των σωματικών αναμετρήσεων καταλήγουν στο έδαφος"

Το Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu είναι μια πολεμική τέχνη η οποία επικεντρώνεται σε κινήσεις στο έδαφος και έχει αποδειχθεί ότι αποτελεί την πλέον ρεαλιστική και αποτελεσματική μορφή αυτοάμυνας στον κόσμο. Σημαντικό κομμάτι της προπόνησης είναι οι εξάσκηση των τεχνικών και το ελεύθερο "ρολάρισμα" (πάλη) κατά το οποίο στόχος του αθλητή είναι να χρησιμοποιήσει τις διάφορες τεχνικές που μαθαίνει, να περάσει σε συγκεκριμένες θέσεις και τέλος να επιβληθεί στον αντίπαλο αναγκάζοντας τον να παραδώσει το αγώνα. (τεχνικές: πνιγμοί, εξαρθρώσεις, ποδοκλειδώματα κτλ.)

Οι αρχές του Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu προωθούν ότι κάθε πρόσωπο ανεξάρτητα από το πόσο μικροκαμωμένο ή αδύναμο είναι, μπορεί να υπερασπιστεί τον εαυτό του με επιτυχία και να επιβληθεί σε έναν πολύ μεγαλύτερο και δυνατό αντίπαλο, χρησιμοποιώντας απλά τεχνική και το ασκούμενο βάρος, έναντι της σωματικής δύναμης και υπεροχής. 

Το Brazilian Jiu - Jitsu όχι μόνο χτίζει αυτοπεποίθηση, αυτοεκτίμηση και πειθαρχία, αλλά αποτελεί και μια εξαιρετική μορφή άσκησης για όλες τις ηλικίες, βελτιώνοντας πάνω απ' όλα δύναμη, αντοχή και απώλεια βάρους.

Primary Ground Positions

During the ground phase of combat the BJJ practitioner strives to take a dominant or controlling position from which to apply submissions, these positions provide different options.

Side Control
The practitioner pins their opponent to the ground from the side of their body. Their laying across the opponent with weight applied to the opponent's chest. The opponent may be further controlled by pressure on either side of their shoulders and hips from the practitioner's elbows and knees. A wide variety of submissions are initiated from Side control.

Full Mount
is considered one of the most dominant Grappling positions.

The practitioner sits astride opponent's chest, in the strongest form of this position the practitioner works their knees up under into the arm pits to reduce arm movements, limiting their ability to move or counter the submission attempts. Full Mount is mostly used to attack the arms or apply choke holds.

Back mount
The practitioner attaches to the back of the opponent by wrapping their legs around and hooking the opponent's thighs with their heels. Simultaneously, the upper body is controlled by wrapping the arms around the chest or neck of the opponent. This position is commonly used to apply chokeholds, and counters much of the benefit an opponent may have from greater size or strength.

Bjj Ranking System - Belts

White belt

White belt is the beginning rank for all Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students.

White belt is the lowest ranking belt within Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It is the rank held by any practitioner new to the art and does not require any special prerequisites to obtain. It is the rank immediately preceding the blue belt. Some instructors and other high-level practitioners feel that white belt is the rank where most of the student’s training emphasis should be placed on escaping and defensive positioning, as it can be argued that a white belt will do much of his or her fighting from inferior positions (especially when training with higher belts).

While this may be largely true, and forms a solid training base for belts to come, most academies will require a prospective blue belt to show a well-rounded skill-set, with a knowledge of not only survival techniques, but basic offensive moves, such as common submissions and guard passes.

Blue belt

A general estimate of the time required to obtain a blue belt in most academies is 1 to 2 years.

Blue belt is the second lowest adult rank within the most commonly accepted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grading system, bridging the way between the beginner rank of white belt and the intermediate rank of purple belt.

To progress to a purple belt, a blue belt level student must acquire a vast technical knowledge regarding all aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and hundreds of hours of mat-time to know how to implement these moves efficiently Perhaps because of this, blue belt is often known as a rank where a student collects a large number of techniques.

The IBJJF requires that a practitioner be at least 16 years old to receive a blue belt (thereby officially entering into the adult belt system).
