SATURDAY, 26 MAY 2018

Today's class was made up of me, Jason, John, and Tommy.

We covered takedowns and strategies for about an hour before moving on to two half-guard sweeps.

Today was an example of black (belt) on black (belt) crime, with me and Nick training together.

Proverbs 27:17 claims that iron sharpens iron. Black belts in BJJ are similar in that respect.

SATURDAY, 31 MARCH 2018

Today's class had me, Jason, John, and Tommy.

We started in butterfly guard. I taught a reverse arm bar, an Americana, and a Kimura from the position.

We moved to closed guard, where we focused on tying up the opponent's wrist and taking the back.

We spent a large amount of time on our feet, focusing on strikes, pummeling, and taking the fight to the ground.

John and I trained chest (bench press, incline dumbbell press, cable crossover) and then rolled today.

SATURDAY, 10 MARCH 2017

Today's class was me, Jason, and Tommy.

We went over self-defense aspects of BJJ. We started with strikes while standing and then transitioned to closing the distance and then to the ground. We worked on strike defenses from the bottom and transitioning to submissions and strikes.

Today's class consisted of just me, Rebecca, and Tommy. I will attribute the poor attendance to the cold weather.

We worked on an escape from side-control when the opponent changes directions and moves north-south to the other side.

We then worked on butterfly-guard (introduction for white and blue belts) and also worked on concepts from half-guard (taking the back, kimura, armbar, etc.).

Tommy & I rolled for a bit following the class.

SATURDAY, 17 FEBRUARY 2018

Today's class had me, Jason, John, Tommy, Steve, and two newcomers from CCSO (Mike & Jamie).

I covered a basic way to open the guard, the basic smash pass series (around and through), the front bear-hug escape with arms trapped, and then had everyone roll.
