ETHAN'S RETURN

SATURDAY, 6 JULY 2013

After completing boot camp in Great Lakes, IL (I lived there from 1984-1986) and "A" school in Pensacola, FL (nope, never been there), Ethan returned to Orange Park and got some training in with us before reporting to Newport News/Norfolk.

LESSON 37 AT SMILEY'S

WEDNESDAY, 3 JULY 2013

Today's class consisted of defending punches from an opponent inside the guard and defenses against the arm-triangle (mount and side control).  There were 6 students in attendance, including Nick!

TUESDAY JUDO AT SMILEY'S

TUESDAY, 2 JULY 2013

We had a good turnout today with eight students.

I started the class on the ground and covered the basic baseball bat choke from knee-on-belly.  I also showed two defenses to this choke.  In addition, I showed a very unorthodox way of doing the baseball bat choke from the bottom (and the defense).

After transitioning to standing, we practiced o-soto-gari, ippon-seio-nage, and tai-otoshi.
