SATURDAY, 24 DECEMBER 2016

Today's class had me, Nick, Jason, John, Ryan, Tommy, and Rebecca in attendance. Rebecca baked Christmas goodies for everyone (even Ross, who did not come). My family also baked Christmas items for everyone, though only Nick, Jason, and John partook since the other three left early.

For our annual Christmas Eve session (which coincided with a regularly scheduled class this year), we went over a series of kimura escapes that I discovered in the course of a few months of attempting to see what is available if everything goes wrong while rolling. A special thanks to John and Ryan for taking the bait and helping me out. Following our drills, we practiced a few other items and then rolled.

SATURDAY, 3 DECEMBER 2016

Today's class had me, Nick, Jason, Ryan, Rebecca, and Tommy.

We worked on a modified kimura from guard, a reverse arm bar from the modified kimura, and then moved to the triangle choke from the reverse arm bar. I rolled for over an hour following the drilling session.

SATURDAY, 26 NOVEMBER 2016

Today's class had me, Nick, Jason, John, Rebecca, and Ross.

The first hour and 15 minutes consisted of wrestling takedowns and drills.

We made the transition to ground items. Nick taught how to achieve, secure, hold, and attack from S-mount. I taught a modified Americana (and John taught Ross the basic Americana as a building block into my technique). As always, we rolled for at least 40 minutes.

Sunday BJJ. It was me, Jason, and John. We worked on wrestling takedowns, and I had eight 5-minute rounds as they cycled in against me.

Saturday morning BJJ. In attendance were me, Nick, Jason, John, Tommy, and John's friend, Samuel.

We started with an hour of wrestling takedowns and moved to three half-guard passes. Lastly, we rolled for an hour to finish class. I hope Samuel learned something and had a good time.

JASON EARNS A BJJ BROWN BELT

More importantly, Jason moved up a belt to brown!
