A catch up on the week so far...

No one has posted for a bit so io thought i would catch up on the week so far.

Wednesday 7th Sept

Geoff was caught up at work so Dion Mellisa and I took the class. Mellisa kicked off with a fairly intensive warm up, i am sure that a few of us were pretty tired at the end of it. Next we covered the basic hook sweep, focussing on getting the correct angle to execute the sweep and baiting our opponent to committ their weight forward. Following that we looked at a variation on what to do if our opponent posts out on their leg to stop the sweep, this move looks difficult but was picked up pretty well by everybody. Finally we looked at what to do if your opponent is really big and heavy and you cannot pull them off their base, we had 2 options here, one was to abort the sweep and drive into them, whilst passing their guard, once again the angle was the key to getting this one right and our second option was to take advantage of our underrhook control and go straight to side back control. We finished the night off playin pass and sweep, before rollin some rounds.

Thursday 8th September

Dion took the MMA class, i watched the last 10 mins and it looked like it had beena hard class.

The Fundamentals Gi class was pretty packed and we had a visitor from the USA aswell which was great. Geoff spent most the class talking to a reporter from the Wellingtonian, a local newspaper, so that will be great article when its printed. Dion warmed the class up, and then took us through a couple of his triangle choke setups, we followed this up by going through the hook sweep once again that was taught on Wednesday night...hopefully it will add to everyones game in some way. We finished the night off with sweep or pass, and then some of the crew stayed on for some rollin. Geoff also awarded some blue stripes, so well done once again.

Friday 9th September

Friday's an informal class, Matt Morris got this class going and who ever wants to can show up to the club generally around midday to do some drills or just roll some rounds. Once again we could not do this session without the generosity of Jill and Chris, so a big thanks to you both.

Today Matt, Brendon, Shano and i had a pretty good session, we did some good rounds, worked on the underhook escape and its timing, a few mount escapes,a few options for escaping kneeride, a bit of work on the hook sweep, the clock choke and the sidearm choke.

The only downside to fridays session is that u go back to worked knackered !
