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.
