Guest Instructor

4/12
Afternoon:
Frisbee


Lots of people came to play on the nicest day of the year (thus far).  Got our pic in the paper!

Evening:
BJJ

Had a surprise guest instructor last night.  A gentleman by the name of Sean had dropped in earlier in the day and asked about the jiu jitsu program and mentioned that he was new to town and looking for a place to roll.  Oh yah, and he's a black belt.  w00t!  Very nice dude.  We started off with flow drills, then drilled arm-bar from guard.  After that Sean showed us his variation on the kimura and guillotine from guard. Very detailed, great explanations, overall very good stuff.  Showed us an advanced method of how to get the arm if your opponent pushes into you.  Get your same side knee into their chest, get your figure four hold on their wrist, get on your side with your butt in their face and then transition your legs so that one is over their back and the other is tight on the other side.  I didn't feel very smooth with any of the techniques except the guillotine, but with all of the detail I wanted to go slow to make sure I was getting it right.

We did some good/bad cop at the end and a bit of free-rolling.  The tournament looms in less than two weeks............   :)
