I almost titled this ‘Easy Day’, but while it wasn’t ‘hard’, nothing on the mat is easy.

Warm up. Split into groups, I had Wade, Denis, and V. Exercise of the day was starting with one on their back, one standing, but disengaged. 5 minutes each side, each partner. We went through 3 times.

And I felt great doing it. I was moving, I was pulling off techniques, and submitting here and there. A little taste of success is always nice.

After class we lined up and Paulie G got his purple belt (very well deserved), and Denis got his blue.
