MMA class, 14 on the mat
I arrived late after being held up by Wellingotns Santa Parade. When I arrived Dion had kicked of with some striking drills so I let him run through to the end of the set. I then took the class in a slightly different direction. After a scuffle involving some of our guys in the weekend I decided to cover a simple standing rear naked choke.

The emphasis was simply getting behind the guy and off balancing him enough to start him stumbling backwards. From there we had several options including, straight away choking him out. Dropping him directly on the ground / running him backwards out of the area or taking him down and applying the RNC.

BJJ Fundamentals 24 on the mat.
Started with the basic circuit and it quickly became apparent that we needed to spend some time tiding up the loose ends. From there I set everyone to doing their syllabus stuff. As always many people took the time to do anything but what they were supposed to. So from now on syllabus stuff will be done on a stripe by stripe basis rather than allowing everyone to make their own way through what they need to know.
