Darren Currie @ Caged Steel last night!

Once again, another month flies by in the blink of an eye and I'm back to attend side control part 2, courtesy of brown belt Darren Currie.

A thorough warm from partner Helen, herself a black belt in the gentle art, eased the class into another fine session of jiu jitsu instruction, taking the side control on from the previous month.

A quick recap started the tuition and from there Darren introduced a few ways to tie up the arm and start to gain the upper hand, with a number of easy to apply high percentage submissions.

Drilling was the name of the game and once again another quality session comes to an end; also nice to see my old friend Andy Farrell down at the club, who I haven's seen since our stickfighting days many moons ago; let's hope to see this highly talented athlete back in the ring or on the mats!!

Until next month guys!
