Class 72...

My first class back after two weeks away and a tough-ish warm-up of belt jumps and squats for ten minutes.

We then went into a drill where the person on the bottom has the man on top in full guard then attacks for an armbar; the opponent pulls his arm out of danger so the man on the bottom rolls to north-south and attacks the opponent's other arm with an omoplata; the opponent postures up with one arm still in and the man on the bottom attacks for a leg triangle; the man on top then puts both his arms in and the sequence begins again.

Key points from this involved keeping strong grips on the attacked arms and the opponent to prevent him from escaping or rolling out; and collapsing the opponent's posture to aid attacking and moving around him.

A good class and good to be back.

LESSON FROM TODAY: Practise basic movement drills and ensure you keep good grips.
