Private Lesson with Erik Cruz: Recap

Instructor Erik Cruz asked that I post a message recap of my private lesson with him if I found it valuable. Here it is.

I'm a white belt from Austin, TX who trained for a few months, then broke my wrist, then left Austin for grad school. After a few years, I wanted to get back to training but wanted a quick refresher before jumping in, so I booked an hour with Erik. In one hour, we did something like the following:

10 minutes with warmup drills
10 min on clinches and takedowns
10 min on position overviews
10 min on escapes
10 min on submissions
10 min recap and light rolling

Anyways, I had a great experience with Erik. It was exactly what I wanted, a refresher of basics so I could get back to training after a few years off. Thumbs up!

Nice! Eric is a great guy, and a killer on the mat!

Sounds awesome man! Always good to have things in the proper perspective to give direction to training.

He's also an 8th degree black belt in rap :-)

I don't know man, for the money you probably could've gone with somebody cooler...like that Compella cat.

I only like him cause he is Puerto Rican.
