SATURDAY, 6 OCTOBER 2018

Today was a full house, consisting of me, Jason, John, Ryan, Tony, Steve, and Jack.

Today's main focus was on achieving the Americana from side-control. I showed four different methods for securing the technique.

We briefly touched on half-guard items before rolling for about 45 minutes.

SATURDAY, 15 SEPTEMBER 2018

Today's class was me, Jason, John, Tony, Steve, and Jack.

We went over three knee-on-belly escapes, reviewed the bread cutter choke, reviewed an escape to the seat belt grip, and also my "go to" escape from the clock choke.

I was able to roll with Tony, John, and Jason.

This also marked our last class at this location. I helped AFR move to our new location.

SATURDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 2018

Today's class had me, Jason, John, Ryan, the return of Steve after injuries, and a new guy brought in by John (Abel).

We covered half-guard sweeps and recoveries. We rolled, and I was quite proud of a sneaky back take I did on John.

SATURDAY, 1 SEPTEMBER 2018

Today was just me and Jason. How sad for those who were injured or finishing their tattoos.

I went over half-guard defenses for Jason, focusing on the situation when the person on top in half-guard decides to take up a reverse (ichiro) kesa-gatame position.

SATURDAY, 25 AUGUST

Today's class had me, Jason, John, Tony, and Jack.

Most of the class was spent on basic items. I covered three basic smash passes, reviewed the bow-and-arrow choke escape, and briefly touched on a half-guard sweep.
