Just a heads up to all you practitioners in the SLC / Utah Valley areas – this Saturday U.C.T.C. will be hosting a half guard and x-guard workshop taught by Ica Medina, a half-guard guru and a BJJ black belt directly under Rigan Machado. The charge is only $30 for over two hours of top-notch instruction. Ica is considered one of the great innovators and experts in the half-guard position and has the distinction of being the first Mexican to achieve black belt status in BJJ.
The workshop will go from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, May 22 at the U.C.T.C. in Kearns.
I have already used this video in a previous post, but it really shows the level of mastery Ica has achieved from half guard:
Ica is an experienced BJJ competitor (he just placed 1st in his division in the 2010 Pan Jiu-jitsu Championship in April). I’ve gotten to know Ica a little in the last few months; he coached me through the last two weeks of training before the Pans, and I can say without hesitation that his teaching skills are second to none. The techniques and principles he taught me made a huge difference in my game during competition. Ica taught a similar workshop last year when I was just starting out, and most of it went right over my head, so it will be nice to get a refresher now that I have more experience.
Bottom line: this workshop will help you take your half guard and x-guard skills to the next level, and $30 is dirt cheap for a seminar of this quality. Hope to see you there.
