3 person class. Basics of baseball bat choke from knee-on-belly and onto turtle.

Found out that the day class schedule is changing next week, and I won’t be able to do day classes anymore. Time to rethink what I’m doing…

Just that. Rolled super light. Got only minorly hurt.

Happy 2019! First class of the new year! Mark taught this class, it it was about guard passing basics.

The technique he taught was to start your pass standing, step up and block the shin with your shin as you c-clamp their kneecap on the leg you’re blocking, pushing it forward to lock their hip. Your other hand holds their free foot to control it. From there, switch your grip to the pants at the knees, step back and straight arm their feet to the ground. With your elbows locked out, walk around them and tip their far leg away from you as you slide your knee into their hip to establish a locked side control.

I went in with sore ribs. They held up okay, but afterward they sure are tender. I’m going to let them settle for a couple days and re-evaluate.
