Laura drilling some of the Gracie Combatives standing techniques. Laura started training with us about 4 years ago. She earned her Women Empowered pink belt (Gracie self-defense program for women) last year and now is working toward her Combatives belt which eventually leads to blue belt. We are proud to see how far she’s come.

The elevator sweep is an effective technique when a larger opponent tries to pin you down with their weight. Body angle in the technique is an essential detail for three major reasons which are, hip angle, elevation and low leg chop. #graciecombatives
