HANE-GOSHI

Three of our regular members were on vacation on Saturday.

We reviewed hip throws, focusing on hane-goshi.

STRIPE PROMOTIONS

I promoted Andrew Sears and Mike Mach from plain white belt to white belt with one stripe on Wednesday, 20 July.

You have both worked hard and taken some whippings from the more experienced guys in the class. It will get better as your repertoire of moves grows and your timing develops.

Thanks for the opportunity to coach you on the long journey that is BJJ.

CHARLES' SEMINAR = SUCCESS

I'd like to send a special thank you to James Smiley and Combat Athletix for hosting Charles for this past Saturday's seminar. We all appreciate your hospitality.

I learned a good amount from the seminar and look forward to perfecting what we went over that afternoon.

Thanks to Charles for taking the time to come up, as well.

ALMOST A FULL HOUSE

We looked like a real BJJ academy last evening (13 July). We had nine folks out on the mats. There was one brown (me), one purple, three blues, and four whites. It was really cool to have all of my students in attendance, and it made it easy for people of similar sizes/experience to match up.
