Georges "Rush" St. Pierre comes to Kombat Arts
for a fun seminar: January 21-22, 2006
The Mixed Martial Arts sensation also known as GSP came by
the Kombat Arts Training Academy to hold a weekend seminar. GSP was very friendly and sociable.
Over 100 different people showed up throughout the weekend.
The participants came from a variety of martial arts including
Kung Fu, Karate, Taekwondo, JKD, BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing and
Judo. GSP mixed up his techniques to cater to all participants.
Day 1 GSP taught many attacks
from the guard including triangle and kimuras. He proceeded
to teach some of his most reliable takedowns from the single
leg and also different ways to pass guard and attack the legs.
To finish Day 1, GSP got on the mat and rolled with a number
of students.
Day 2 GSP showed a lot of his
favourite standup techniques including his famous kicks and
clinch work. He had the whole gym spar the techniques and
Georges even got on the mat to mix it up with the students.
He then taught some ground work including attacks from side
control and some guard passing. He had the students spar on
the ground to solidfy the students' understanding of the techniques.
To end the day, GSP got into the ring and called a different
seminar participant every 2-3 minutes to do some light MMA
sparring. Not everyone could be accomodated but GSP tried
to spar for as long as 45 minutes.
Ultimately, it was a very successful seminar and all the
particpants had a great time. We hope to bring down GSP again
soon! Thanks to everyone who came out!
