This morning's class had me, John, Tommy, Jordon, and Steve.
Dealing with being in half-guard was the flavor of the day. We covered several different methods for defending and passing the half-guard.

As always, ample roll time was provided.

Today was just a training session with me and Jason.
It was no-gi for takedowns. I showed a few defenses to common takedowns, focusing on a defense to the double leg. We reviewed something I showed him after class on Saturday, and then we rolled for at least an hour.

Today's class had me, Jason (brown belt), Rebecca (blue belt), and Tommy (white belt).
We covered a variety of topics, though I did spend time helping Rebecca refine the cross-collar choke from full-mount and a follow-up arm bar from mount in case of a defense to the initial choke due to the upcoming AGF tournament on July 1.
I added a stripe (the second) to Tommy's white belt today.

Today's class had me, Nick, Jason, John, Tommy, and a "let's try this out" participant named Emily.
I went over two closed-guard openings, the basic smash pass, the X-pass, and two basic mount escapes (bridging and frame escapes). I then had the students roll.
Thanks to Jason for training with Emily during her first class.

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.
