Wednesday classes

 Two killer sessions last night at Northern Monkey HQ, a really productive Beginners class and dropped some technique bombs in the int/adv class, as follows...

The Georgian Roll

Kataguruma entries from the Russian Tie and Braulio Estima entry (iykyk)

Obi Ashi Guruma from overhand Russian grip

Suma gaeshi  from overhand Russian grip

Two butterfly sweeps

DEADLY one handed Brabo 

Had a great time teaching and rolling with the monkeys, more of the same tonight in the No Gi classes :)

FAIXA AZUL!!

 Last night I had the immense pleasure and honour to promote two of my teenage mat savages to blue belt; Matt and Niall turn up week in week our, rarely miss class and have both done well in competition, bagging a good few golds between them, so it was time for them both to step up last night :)

Huge congrats from a very proud coach and all the monkeys at Wimbledon BJJ, Dog House MMA and Petherwick Jiu Jitsu :)



Int/adv class last night

 A quiet one last night, but lots of fun teaching the arm bar from S-mount and finishing from the Spiderweb position and plenty of rolling of course :)



Beginners class

 Lots of hard work from everyone in the Beginners class last night, improvement all round week in week out, it's been a Godsend having these Beginners classes separate from the main classes, I'm ironing out all the bad habits before they become bad habits :)



L'il Monkeys!!

 As always, lots of fun and laughs with the L'il Monkeys on a Monday afternoon, numbers slowly picking up now, looking forward to building up the Monday class, as well as the Wednesday class :)
