SATURDAY, 14 OCTOBER 2017

Today's class consisted of me, Tommy, & Steve. Steve ran slightly late, so Tommy and I warmed up by rolling with each other.

I focused on the "Fat Boy Mount" today. I taught two gi chokes and two applications of arm bars (one with the gi and one without).

Following the drill session, Steve & Tommy rolled, then Steve & I rolled.

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.
