Busy month.
Ok here’s what’s been going on.
John Will at GSW on Wednesday 03/08/2005
John’s seminar was PACKED!!! No room to move on the mat at all. Before we got underway John and I took the time to acknowledge a few of the long term GSW crew. Blue Belts were awarded to Jason Murphy and Matt Paul. Both guys have been with GSW for a very long time and have covered a lot of distance on the mats. John also awarded a Purple belt to Dion Burns. Dion has been a huge part of the mat since he and Melissa first made the move to Wellington. I frequently call on Dion to teach when I am unavailable and his support has been an immense help.
Congratulations guys!
Now the seminar.
X-Guard: - stretch opponent and get up to knees then feet
- if opponent grabs our head - single knee back sweep
- take opponent to front left corner (weakness) for rollover sweep
- go our backdoor and bring opponent backward with left hook
Wrist-wraps:
- basic single wrist wrap to armbar
- wristwrap with double grip to boat ramp - opp's back and clock choke
- wristwrap with double grip - sit opp up, catch his arm (crucifix) and choke
- wristwrap with double grip - change to dogpaddle grip – roll him to get back and backchoke
Remember the point about how we lock our hands together for a good back choke - when opp peels off our top hand. Protect choking hand with other hand!
Head-arm front choke - from head to head.
Some pretty advanced stuff but a lot of the participants have already started playing around with the stuff in class.
Thursday 04/08/2005
Fundamentals 25 in class.
Today I carried on with the theme from last Monday, this time covering the basic armbars. Mount, near arm from Knee Ride, Far arm from Knee ride and Guard. Running through them in a quick drill to instil and instant action to each position / que.
Web and news.
Spent most of today working on web stuff, including the new BJJAU newsletter
www.bjj.com.au sign up for the newsletter. It’s something John write to those that have signed up. Cool stuff. Also made a couple of updates to the BJJ AU site worth a look.
Well that’s all for now. See you at class
