I taught the evening class at Mukilteo BJJ in Washington State tonight, essentially offering an open forum seminar.  There was a purple belt, a few blue belts, two green belts (combatives belt in the Sauer association), and a few white belts.  The mini seminar lasted two hours, and I intend on utilizing my teaching sessions this week in a similar manner.
