SUMMARY:The Grappling Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Join Professors Nicholas LaRosa and Luke Boston for a unique
  three-hour Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seminar designed to teach both sides of 
 the grappling exchange.\n\n\n\nThe first half of the seminar will be tau
 ght by Professor LaRosa\, focusing on applying&nbsp\;No-Gi Judo&nbsp\;to
  take your opponent to the ground\, establish dominant control\, and fin
 ish with high-percentage submissions. Students will learn one technique 
 from each of the three primary categories of Judo throwing techniques: T
 e Waza (hand techniques)\, Koshi Waza (hip techniques)\, and Ashi Waza (
 foot techniques)\, and how to seamlessly transition from the takedown in
 to effective control and submissions for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu\, MMA\, and
  self-defense.\n\n\n\nThe second half of the seminar\, led by Professor 
 Luke Boston\, shifts the perspective to the defensive side of the exchan
 ge. Students will learn high-percentage positional escape systems design
 ed to recover from inferior positions after being taken down. Through ef
 ficient movement\, proper framing\, and proven escape concepts\, partici
 pants will develop the skills to regain dominant position\, create oppor
 tunities to reverse the exchange\, and confidently continue the fight wh
 ether in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu\, MMA\, or self-defense.\n\n\n\nWhether you
 r goals are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition\, mixed martial arts\, or se
 lf-defense\, this seminar provides a complete system for understanding t
 he transition from standing engagements to the ground—from initiating 
 the takedown to controlling the position\, finishing the engagement\, or
  escaping back to safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You'll Learn\n\n\n\n\nHig
