Smallish class again this week with only nine on the mat. As Cain is heading to Auckland next week for the BJJ and submission grappling comp we concentrated on just submission grappling. With each round starting on their feet and allowing knee bars and foot locks to allow Cain to adjust to defending and attacking.

BJJ Fundamentals

21 on the mat for fundamentals tonight. We covered basic armbars and really just drilled them over and over to get some reps in. Something that everyone needed tonight! Started with the Armbar drill from Johns Auckland seminars, just running through the 4 basic armbars in a quick drill. Well this quickly turned into a mess so I went back and started from the beginning.

Starting with the basic armbar from mount and moving onto Near Arm from Knee ride. Then Far arm from Knee Ride and finishing with Amrbar from Guard.

After about 100 reps I have everyone run through the basic 4 armbar drill, and it went much better.
