The warm-up was by Nathan the Doc Hatton. I then got the boys & gal to sweep drill with chained submissions. We then reviewed the bow choke to arm-bar transitioning and the top mount x-collar choke. Wow a lot of questions lol… next time questions after class!. Then a few 5 min rounds of rolling. I had to drive my parents to the airport for 1pm…. yes cutting it close, the guys didn’t roll enough rounds, got heckled from my homie. lol live and learn.

TBH, I was dreading going in to train today… tired, sore, and the dumping of snow wasn’t encouraging.

#sleeplessnights

The little guy has been sick, so tending to his coughing or waking up while the wife tends is crazy. Hard to believe our parents went through this.

#respectourelders

If they can do it, we absolutely have the ability to lol.

Thank god I went in though.

image

Thor ran the class, warm-ups with some running, forward/reverse shrimps, break falls to technical stands, sit outs, then arm drag flow drilling and takedowns. I partnered with Aussie Mike…. We then rolled with 5 min rounds.

Clip or our class below…

Aussie Mike, Juneau, Mitch’s buddy tall big new guy Evan??, Brent from Geraldton, some big guy Mike from St Catherine’s that trains with Gracie Barra who forgot his GI, and then Josh… homeboys grilled me lol.
