Self Defence & Sock Wrestling @ SW19!

 Can't beat the sunshine and beer gardens yesterday here at Northern Monkey HQ, but we still had a lot of fun in both classes; in the beginners there was just one student, so I took him through a self defence class covering Combatives striking on the pads and in the advanced class, we went through some good old Catch Wrestling.

Went with a few half alch drills, the Grovit, a cervical spine lock, a brace of butterfly guard sweeps and got the plastic bag out again and ended the class with sock wrestling :)

Not for the faint hearted is sock wrestling, gets super competitive from the start and really hits you cardio wise, great for competition training and training in general...the lads loved it!

What a fun and creative take on self defence! It’s great to see how different forms of training — even something like sock wrestling — can build reflexes, awareness, and confidence. More gyms should incorporate unique high-quality custom blister packaging like this to keep things engaging while teaching essential skills. Thanks for sharing this refreshing perspective!
