Today's class consisted of only me, John, and Rebecca.

We spent 90 minutes at the start of class doing judo. We used the foot sweep tool to get used to the motions necessary to perform ashi-waza. Our techniques were o-uchi-gari and o-soto-gari. We then moved to the crash pad and worked on our favorite forward throws. Rebecca worked on ippon-seio-nage. John worked on harai-goshi. I worked on both of those throws.

We reviewed several half-guard techniques (bottom) in order to reduce an opponent from crushing us and also to allow us to sweep them to the bottom.

TUESDAY, 9 FEBRUARY 2016 JUDO PRACTICE

I got to practice some judo on Tuesday night with Greg. Since he moved his school extremely close to where I work, I can spend my lunch time there.

Anyhow, there were only three of us there, and the techniques of the night were o-uchi-gari and ko-uchi-gari. We spent a good amount of time using the foot-sweep tool in order to gain some muscle memory on what to do. There was no randori since, again, there were only three of us and one is currently a white belt.

Today's class consisted of me, Nick, Jason, John, Rebecca, and Cody. We went over (and drilled) four leg lasso passes before working on single and double leg take downs for about an hour. I was able to roll with Cody, John, and Jason in the final hour of class.

JOSH MOSS RETURNING?

Rumor has it that our wayward Muay Thai son, Josh Moss, will be returning early from Thailand within the week. We wish him safe travels and trust that he will soon rejoin his BJJ family here.
