I doubled up on classes last night for the first time in a while.

The fundamentals was a review of the six hooks, and the backwards somersault sweep from open guard. I paired up with Tyler, a new guy. Usually, there’s nothing exciting about drilling, but it always pays to do it. We rounded class out with both the palm up and the palm down cross chokes from mount after the sweep.

The advanced class was more review of Gabriel’s open guard sweep and back taking techniques. Ron and continued drilling it, each rep being (hopefully) better and smoother than previous ones. It was a pretty sweaty night, so plenty of water breaks.

After class I continued with my 531 program. Squats this time around.
