A fairly low key session today due to Shano's injured hand, we kicked off by practicing the counter to the spinning choke, which was covered in last nights FMA class, we then did some rounds of guard, where the guard player is not allowed to use there hands, very similar to what John Jensen covered in his seminar last month. To finish off our guard work we covered a technique where we go from our long range open guard to our opponents back, we then choke them out with the rear naked. We also covered the omoplata sweep from the long range open guard. We then spent sometime focussing on the guard pass, repping out a version of the bullfighters pass. To finish we covered a version of the armless triangle choke, a very simple finish to slap on from open guard.

All the best to Shano who leaves for sunny Aloha land on boxing day !
