It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my best BJJ training partner: my cat, Lucky.

SATURDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2021

Today's class had me, Jason, Ryan, Josh M., Rebecca, and Duy. We worked on three kesa gatame (head and arm) escapes and two scissor sweep variations. Three, 6-minute rolling sessions at the end rounded out the practice.

22 MAY 2021: CHARLES DOS ANJOS SEMINAR AT WOLFPACK BJJ ORANGE PARK

For the first time in a long time, we hosted my instructor, Charles Dos Anjos, for a seminar here in Orange Park. We had a great turnout, on Professor Charles' birthday no less, and the promotion of Jason Compton to black belt. Jason is the second person I have trained to from white to black belt, and the first I have promoted in my own right.

SATURDAY, 07 NOVEMBER 2020

Our deputies were injured and did not practice today. Today's class was just me, Jason, and Josh M. We covered the defense and escape from the clock choke when the opponent has hooks in and is on his back. Following this, we worked on the defense and escape from the clock choke from the turtle position. I had eight, six-minute roll sessions. I also awarded Josh his first stripe on his blue belt.

HALLOWEEN 2020

Today's class had two brown belts (Jason and Ryan) and two blue belts (Steve and Josh M.). Today's course of study? Wrestling. Takedown defenses were the top priority. I developed a drill so that we could repetitively work on stopping an opponent's attempt without going 100%. We focused on the crossface and correct hip movement into the ground. We followed this with a modified spiral ride. In addition, we worked on the guillotine choke, focusing especially on the arm-in variation. Today, we had four eight-minute rolling sessions (Steve only rolled with Josh since he had to leave early).
