Takedowns & Transitions is a mix of Sambo, Judo, BJJ and Wrestling. The focus of the class is to improve your ability to take a fight or grappling match to the mat and to control your opponent. While doing this, we are always taking submissions into account and learning how to avoid bad positions in transition. Each class starts with a basic warm-up that covers how to properly fall, basic hip movement, and all of the fundamentals of stance, footwork and positioning. After the basics we do basic drills focused on getting stronger in specific positions. A group of techniques is then covered, followed by live drilling. This class provides a great workout as well!

Takedowns & Transitions at Evolution Athletix is led by Taylor Costantino — technique-first coaching where every athlete gets challenged, corrected, and celebrated, whatever their level.
