Saturday: Mat Control & The Ground Game

Time: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM Focus: Escapes, Riding, and The Pin.

Saturday mornings are where matches are won or lost: The Mat. We focus on the discipline required to control an opponent from the top and the resilience needed to escape from the bottom.

• Bottom Revolution: Explosive escapes and reversals. We teach athletes how to "get to their feet" immediately.

• Top Dominance: Heavy pressure, breakdowns, and riding techniques to exhaust the opponent.

• The Finish: Pinning combinations and turning techniques (Cradles, Half-Nelsons, Tilts).

• The Goal: Total control. If we are on top, they stay down. If we are on the bottom, we get out.
