SATURDAY, 27 SEPTEMBER 2014 BJJ & JUDO

At 8 a.m., we started BJJ. It consisted of me, Jason, John, JG, and Josh M. Yes, I was the odd man out since my name does not start with a J. I taught how to attack the turtle position, leading to an armbar and/or sweep from the attack. I also provided instruction on the turtle guard and how to recover to turtle position from there. Since my family was out of town, I had nothing to do that afternoon, so I had a pure judo class with Kyle and Paige. We covered o-uchi-gari and had a few rounds of randori to fill out the class.

SATURDAY, 13 SEPTEMBER 2014

We were missing a BJJ brown belt and a BJJ blue belt, along with one white belt with competition aspirations for 27 September, but otherwise, we had a fairly full house (7 people) for an 8 a.m. class. I revisited a half-guard passing option and worked on teaching the finer details of applying pressure from side control. We then worked on moving efficiently and effectively from side control to kesa gatame, and from kesa gatame to side control. We then had a 20 minute round robin rolling session. For judo, we worked on ippon seio nage as the "throw of the day," though when we moved to the crash pad, each student had the option to use whatever throw they wanted on their opponent. We also did randori, permitting Kyle S. to have five 3-minute sessions for his upcoming tournament in Orlando on Saturday, 20 September.
