Small class tonight so I worked with Colby one-on-one.

we reviewed roundhouse kicks, side kicks, shin kicks, front kicks, and knee kicks.

Then we progressed onto reviewing takedowns. we reviewed the ankle-knee takedown and then did two more than were new to Colby: step on foot push shoulder and a standing crab (takedown to the rear). He picked up on all of these takedowns very quickly.

we then worked these takedowns into the hold escapes: 2 hands on throat and bearhugs from the rear.

I also ordered some books: Mastering Jiu Jitsu and Modern Judo: The Complete Ju-Jutsu Library

They should be here by the end of the month and I'm really looking forward to reading them.
