Sat Morning Session

We managed to get in a sat morning session, we rolled a few rounds with the focus on timing and movement, we then did a few rounds at a slower pace concentrating on reading our opponents movements. We then did some work ont he underhook defence and using your whole body in the movement as opposed to focussing ont he arm. We then did rounds of allowing our opponent to pass our guards but in the process we worked our way towards the underhook, the tidea here was to learn the timing. We then drilled a simple combo, whee we use the underhook escape to move to backcontrol, using the gable grip, we then finished our opponent with a rear naked. We finished off by drilling a few submissions

Friday Afternoon Session

This afternoon we just rolled and worked on improving our knee ride controls, we also focussed on using knee ride in both attack and defence aswell as using the pressure of the position to attack the opponets arms and legs and neck. The whole idea of the session was to concentrate on improving knee ride and its application.

Apologies to all blogg readers, for some reason the last few weeks have been hectic and the ramblings of the day time sessions have not been posted, plus we have had a few injury woes in between.

On monday we rolled with the focuss on achieving our goal, whatever it is, we focussed on braking a certain move down into a number of smaller goals, once a smaller goal is reached we moved onto the next part of the move, if we could not achieve our goal then it meant that our opponent was giving us a problem that needed to be fixed first, this type of thinking and process can be applied to any part of ones game,a nd it priovides a good framework to really analyse what your doing and why things are not going to plan.

Jase took class tonight in Geoffs absense, the class was basically an hour of wrestling, doing five minute rounds with a minutes break in between, at the end of class those with questions and problems spent some time getting the solutions from the higher grades.
