Tonight's class consisted of me, Nick, Jason, and Tony. John and Ryan had SWAT training; Rebecca went to the hospital to meet a friend's newborn.
We went over two spider guard passes, one butterfly and/or half guard pass, and had lots of roll time.

Saturday morning BJJ with me, Nick, Jason, John, Ryan, and Rebecca. We covered the triangle choke in detail and moved on to things to do in case it does not work (arm bars and wrist locks).
The throw of the day was sasae tsuri komi ashi. Jason & I also practiced o soto gari from a blocked sasae attempt.

Everyone (me, Nick, Jason, John, Ryan, Tony, & Rebecca) was in attendance today.
The big news for today was Tony M.'s promotion to blue belt. I do not award belts lightly, and after lots of tournament success so far, Tony has shown that he is prepared to step into the blue belt arena, where I expect him to continue getting better while terrorizing his competitors.

SATURDAY, 2 APRIL 2016: REBECCA'S FIRST TOURNAMENT
Rebecca K., after less than six months of training with us, competed in the MMAC tournament in Orlando. Rebecca won both of her matches via submission (arm bar and Ezequiel choke) on her way to a first place finish.

Today's class had me, Nick, Jason, John, Ryan, Tony, and Rebecca. In short, it was a full house. We covered a standing guard opening and then reviewed the standard knee-slide pass. The knee-slide pass led to a reverse arm bar, two collar chokes, and even the Darce.
FRIDAY, 18 MARCH 2016: TUSCALOOSA TRAINING
I had the opportunity to train with some friends up in Alabama. The flavor of the day was foot-sweeps, which was focused on de ashi harai. We also spent time on o-uchi-gari, ko-uchi-gari, and even o-soto-gari.
Special thanks to long-time friend Cole D. (purple belt)and Ashley C. (who did not hold any resentment against me for using de ashi against her in January). Also, shout out to Nick L. for coming out early to train with us, despite a slightly wet gi.

The big news of the day was Tony Martinez's tournament performance.
Tony took gold in the gi (white-belt) division, which included victories via Ezequiel choke and Americana from kesa gatame. He also took home bronze in the no-gi intermediate (all other competitors were blue belts).
