Annual Weekend Seminar with Roy Harris

Saturday, August 7th & Sunday, August 8th 2010

Modern Self-Defense Center -- Middletown, CT

• Roy Harris

Mr. Roy Harris is a 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and is known worldwide for his detailed and clear style of instruction.  Rather than a hodge-podge of techniques, his seminars are a progression of information and training methods that help participants to quickly and impressively improve their ability on the mat.

• This Year's Topic

The August 2010 seminar will focus on a single topic for which Mr. Harris is well-known: posture in inferior positions. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the term "posture" refers to "the precise placement and pushing motions of the arms in order to minimize the risk of submissions and to begin the process of escaping." If you're tired of having your training partners catch you in chokes and armlocks while you try to escape their hold-downs, this seminar will give you the tools to change things!

Mr. Harris will be teaching proper posture underneath the Mount, the Side Mount (including related positions like North-South and various Scarf Holds), and inside the Guard. While the seminar will be primarily "no-gi", Mr. Harris has asked that participants bring a gi on Day 2 (Sunday) so that he can show additional techniques and training methods for dealing with the gi.

In all the years that Mr. Harris has been visiting MSDC (since 2003), we have never asked for an entire weekend seminar on such a small, focused topic. This will be an incredible opportunity to learn skills that you can immediately put to use from one of BJJ's elite instructors.

• Dates and Times

Saturday, August 7th:  Noon - 4pm
