Last night's class

 Two more classes at Northern Monkey HQ before Christmas and with no more comps this year, I had it in my head we'd have a chilled one, but these things never go to pain and after drilling open guard passes and a side control escape, we hit the specifics and sparring.

With lower numbers than usual due to monkeys going back home abroad for the holidays, there wasn't as many chances to get the breath back as one minute you're in the specifics, finish, get back on your feet and someone else is ready and the way I picked out sparring partners almost killed everyone, something I'll save for the competition training camps :)

At the end of class, there was a large heat and steam haze in the room, akin to the Turkish baths, proof that everyone had worked hard :)

More of the same tomorrow!
