Class 315...

A return to gi this week and a class on single and double leg takedown and killing the butterfly hooks. 

We kicked off with some single and double leg takedown drills, which then chained together. 

We then did some work on killing butterfly hooks: push opponent attacking with butterfly hooks back, shuffle forward to trap opponent's feet, go low and spread his legs, then gable grip around the legs to lock them in place, apply pressure to pin his movement, kick leg up and step hips back and go stomach up, then bring leg and hip back with stomach down, move into side control, secure position.

Other butterfly kill set-up, push opponent back, move in, grab around knee, then reach around other leg to grab ankle and ruin his hooks, then step out pass as before.

Sparring was OK. I did OK against white belts and secured a couple of good positions and scissor sweeps. I also got ruined by a young, long, slick blue belt. It wasn't a great return but I wasn't out of my depth either.

Things to remember: butterfly kick out to guillotine works, overhook guard works but more offence from it is needed.
