Day 2

Monadnock Brazilian Jiu Jitsu located in Keene NH

Jack Mombourquette "One thing I learned from Craig and Peter was how to properly fall. Learning how to fall backwards and on your side is a useful skill anywhere. Another thing I learned was how to get your opponent on the ground while your standing or only one person is standing. One technique I wanna get better at is what to do offensively when. your opponent is on the ground. We learned what to do on defense but not much on offense. One question I want to ask is how to do an arm bar and how to get out of an arm bar also".

Julia Loughlin "From Craig I learned how to use my legs and trip people in self defense. From Peter I learned how to strangle someone. Falling when getting taken down. When did you start doing Jiu Jitsu?"

Anthony Amandolare "A few things I learned from Craig are different takedowns from the bottom position, such as the butterfly and the tripod. One thing I learned from Peter were different takedowns and submissions, such as a double leg takedown and guillotine submission. One technique I want to improve upon is my defense, especially defending a guillotine submission. I would want to ask Craig how to complete different types of submissions".
