19 in class tonight.

Warmed up with rolling and 1 step.

Then I tried a new concept for grappling class, with 6 pairs (12) rolling and 6 people watching. Then changing when the focus pair got a sub.

Two things became apparent,
1) A lot of people are just rolling for the sake of rolling and not really focusing their game.
2) People are having trouble capitalizing on the superior positional control. Eg when JM gets side control, he puts too much emphasis into holding rather than subbing.

So the focus needs to go onto the finish a bit more, everyone has good positional awareness and control, now it needs to be converted into subs.

Awarded Alex and Jack with their first stripe. Well done guy's
