3×3 Review: Immediate Action Jiu-jitsu with Cecil Burch September 2016
Many of us came from a “tool-first” background. Maybe you carried a handgun. Maybe you carried a knife. Or a baton. Or a squirrel. On roids.
The reality is that we may focus so hard on these tools — or a combination of tools — that we ignore the most important self-defense tool of them all: our bodies.
Over the last two years I have attempted to learn more about defending myself in close quarters with empty hands or with tools. Knowledge, capability, timing, and intuition are all critical to protecting ourselves when within arms reach of an attacker.
It was an honor to host Cecil Burch of Immediate Action Combatives for his two-day seminar on ground fighting, standing grappling, and striking.
Here’s my 3×3 review of Day 1, explaining the top three things covered in class, the top three things I learned, and the top three things I’m going to change.
I highly recommend Cecil’s Immediate Action Jiu-jitsu class, either by itself or in combination with the Immediate Action Pugilism class.
