Talon Jiujitsu (Poolesville Self Defense)
Team Talon Jiujitsu Competition Team Tryouts
Jiujitsu competition is a healthy part of a jiujitsu journey and we want all of our kids to have an opportunity to explore the values we promote through our team to:
- Work Hard
- Try our Best
- Have Fun
- Give Back
Competition Team Tryout Details
Tryouts will consist of Jiujitsu sparring, a focus on the rules of competition, and a central focus on defending and applying submissions. Up to now your child may not have had this level of exposure to the art.
A key part of the tryout classes is assessing your child’s ability to work with and become comfortable with submissions. If they are not comfortably learning to defend and apply submissions that is 100% fine, however competing may not be something they are ready to do at this time.
We will assess this during three (3) competition team practices to determine their comfort level and whether we recommend then to join the team.
IF YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE TEAM
If you decide to join the competition team, we have team rules that we will ask you follow:
1. Must be committed to train exclusively in Jiujitsu at least 3 days/week (including the competition team training).
2. The ideal student will be ready to compete when they have at least 6 months of training and/or 2 stripes on their white belt.
3. We will be learning and using submissions. Students and parents must be comfortable with the use of submissions in training that are used in competitions. This is a key component of Jiujitsu and especially is competitions.
4. Students must be on their best behavior. Students will be assessed by coaches for their aptitude for the training and commitment level/interest.
5. There are no direct fees for joining the team.
6. Team members will need to purchase a Gi and/or Nogi uniform that follows competition rules.
7. There are costs for competitions. As a team we will attempt to have fundraisers throughout the year to help support the team. Volunteers are needed and welcomed!
8. We will attempt to compete together as a team at least 4 times/year. Competitors can compete more frequently at your own discretion, interest and time. You can register under Poolesville Self Defense/Team Talon Jiujitsu for all of your competitions.
Please let Coach Mark, Mike or a Eric know if you are interested!
