MMA class, huge turnout for a Sunday afternoon, there were 17 on the mat for MMA. Once again we just grappled the whole class. Next week we'll start some work on the clinch and bridging the gap. We should now start to tie in our ground skills with some good stand-up work.

Also forgot to mention the possibility of a second MMA class on Thursday night at 7-8pm. Fees for MMA only will have to be set at $40.00 for that class if it's going to work. More in the forum.

BJJ Fundamentals 24 in the class today.

We're back on track with the "Fundamental" theme, today working on the syllabus figure four-arm locks. Started class with the basic circuit, then figure 4 from Mount, Lower figure 4 from side control, figure 4 from up and crush and finishing with figure 4 from guard. Also added the sneaky shortcut for figure 4 from guard. We anchor our opponent’s hand and bring our knee up into the back of their arm to bend it into position then apply the basic figure 4.
