Some years ago the Man-Alive Martial Arts Gym had logo's created and began to establish a brand. During that time with our thinking along the lines of the overall look and feel of our group, we wanted to have a mascot that could also identify our gyms or clubs. Naturally we used the organisation mascot's as a jumping off point, and a large number of the gyms and clubs or groups associated with the BJJ organisation have followed suit and used similar concepts and imagery in their own creations.
As we have the formal art work finished, we will give you a small teaser with some renditions from the web. None of these are the finished product or even our product, they are all taken from Google searches.In honour of our new mascot, I have also named one of our Escape or Bottom game positions after it as well. For those who have been in class over the last month while we were working on our Bottom game, there came a position that I didn't have a name for. And while quite a common position for us, and for other groups within the organisation I'm sure, I've not seen it named as such. I have seen parts of the position named separately, but using them all together as a whole we decided that it needed to be called something...
Let us introduce the Flying Monkey Bottom Position. It now completes our 5 escape postures from the bottom, these being: Iron Board (Mount), Lazy Baby (thanks Elliott & Open Mat), Stoned Squirrel (1/2 Guard), Straight Jacket, and Flying Monkey.
For more on these positions, come out to the club and see what the heck we're talking about....
