No Gi Rolls

Ugh, I ache after last night.

We did a usual warm up, then switch into some movement/conditioning drills. Juke passes, circle passes, around the world, inversions back and forth, that kind of thing.

And then it was time to roll! We did three 3 minute rounds, twice. I had Daryl and James. Both went well. Lots of movement and action. I worked the kimura grip a ton with both guys.

Apparently everyone else was too, because after the rounds, Damian took a couple of minutes and gave a mini-lesson on using the kimura from a failed knee cut pass, and sitting back to the star gazer position. I used this on both Daryl and James, but instead of sitting back, I rolled forward. Same result I think, and likely just a question of style.

Damian also mentioned that he’s going to be focusing on the kimura, and this technique in particular this week. Should be good stuff!
