Today's class had me, Jason (brown belt), John (purple belt), Steve (white belt), and Nicole (white belt). We were short one blue belt from having a "rainbow of belts" in the academy today.
Today's class focused on three techniques from the half-guard. The first technique was a sweep when we get the underhook and the opponent overhooks the arm. The second dealt is a follow-up of the first technique when the opponent takes their arm out and posts when the sweep starts; the response it to take the opponent's back. The third technique occurs when the opponent sits back and presses the hip; we turned this into a modified kimura.
Ryan (purple belt) missed due to taking his father to the ER for kidney & liver complications.
Following the technique session, I rolled with Steve & John.

SATURDAY, 09 DECEMBER 2017
Today's class was really, really small. It was me, John, and Steve.
We covered two half-guard sweeps and one full guard recovery from the same basic body positioning in order to get practice on the initial set-up (which is the same for all three techniques). We also went over two defenses to a knee-slide pass that result in taking the opponent's back.
As always, we rolled at the end of class and then handed over the floor to AFR Christian Karate (appeared to be a grading).

SATURDAY, 30 SEPTEMBER 2017
Today's class had just me, John, and Tommy.
I taught my kimura and americana sequences from the guard, along with how to do a reverse arm bar in case an opponent defends the Americana. We worked on disrupting the opponent's posture, as well.
We then moved on to the feet, where we worked on double leg takedowns and single leg takedowns before practicing ko-uchi-gari on the crash pad. John and I spent some time working on tie-ups and defenses from there.

SATURDAY, 23 SEPTEMBER 2017
Saturday's class had me, Ryan, Tommy, Steve, and Josh H.
The flavor of the day was arm bars and sweeps.
I taught the traditional cross arm bar from guard. We moved on from there and performed a same side arm bar from guard. Because a potential finish from that position included the flower sweep, we went over the flower sweep. Lastly, we went over a back take from guard. As always, we rolled to finish off the class.

SATURDAY, 22 JULY 2017 (EVENING CLASS)
Tonight's class had me, Jason, and Ryan.
Wrestling take downs were the techniques of choice, with several items that they have not seen being the techniques of the day.
Due to continued injury, Jason did not live roll, so Ryan and I did for about 30 minutes. I had Ryan start on my back 9 or 10 times so I could get practice escaping and defending such a disastrous position.

I added a stripe (the second) to Tommy's white belt today.

SATURDAY, 6 MAY 2017
Saturday's class consisted of me, John, Ryan, Tommy, Jordon, and a newcomer named Andy.
The main instruction of the day was the X-pass series, which I broadened to include a defense against X-guard implementation and a pass in case the X-guard is achieved.
We then rolled for 30 minutes or so (Andy chose to sit out to see how we practice).
Since AFR had promotions set for 10:30 a.m., we did not stay too long after 10 a.m., though a class enquiry was made by an outside individual who was there for the promotion ceremony.

In the evening for no gi, it was me, Nick, Ryan, Rebecca, and Ethan. Ethan attended the judo class put on by Greg, but he came over and rolled with us at the end since his attendance in judo gave them even numbers and allowed us no gi folks to stay even, too.

This morning's class had me, Nick, Jason, John, and Tommy.
I started the class with rolling as a warm-up. We moved grip fighting and clinch work before moving to take downs on the crash pad. I worked on uchi mata and Jason worked on a single, with the caveat that we were working our techniques from the same position (who would get their technique first).
We moved to "basics" then, with two arm bars from guard. Free rolling followed, with me and Jason starting from standing.
Later that evening, Greg DiFranza's First Coast Kodokan Judo came out for a workout. Greg and four of his students took part of the floor while Jason, Ryan, and I worked wrestling/no-gi takedowns for 90 minutes.
