Today's class had me, Jason, Ryan, Steve, and a new addition with Yahamoni. New recruits are rare since I do not advertise, but he was welcomed with open arms (to choke perhaps, but I digress).

We covered the basic seven chokes from the back, the cross-collar from full mount, and a modified Americana from full mount. Everyone was able to roll with each other.

Tonight was a judo/wrestling class consisting of me, Jason, and Tony. We wore our judo ranks, worked on kumikata and uchikomi, and drilled double leg takedowns.

SATURDAY, 01 JUNE 2019

Today's class had me, Jason, Ryan, and Steve in attendance. I went over attacks and defenses from the back and taught a modified bow-and-arrow choke.

I got six, 6-minute rounds in. Jason had a very nice guard pass on me during our second round.

MEMORIAL DAY OPEN MAT

Despite inviting ten people to an open mat, only the truly dedicated whose belts begin with "B" attended today. Thanks to Jason, Ryan, and Tony for giving me eight, 7-minute rolls today.

On another note, it seems that promoting Ryan to brown belt has turned him nasty since he went for heel-hooks on me the entire roll (almost like I hurt him on Saturday or something). I even had to tap to one of them. Not that I'm keeping track or anything, but I think I will have to pay him back for that :)

SATURDAY, 25 MAY 2019

Today was just advanced belts (black and two brown belts).

We drilled four (well, 3 and-a-half since the fourth was a modification of one) sweeps from half-guard and reviewed guard passes (which we always seem to do).

The brown belts rolled first (6 minutes) and then I had two rounds against each of them. I injured Ryan slightly (knee to thigh, like in Muay Thai), but he walked out.

NEWEST WOLFPACK BROWN BELT

Congratulations to Ryan on his promotion!

SATURDAY, 11 MAY 2019

Today's class was me, Jason, John, and Ryan, so the "weakest link" was a 4-stripe purple belt.

We covered a knee-in-belly escape, modified that escape to permit prevention of a knee-slide pass, and reviewed a clock-choke variation.

We then had six, six-minute rounds (two rounds against each opponent, rotating).
