Most people weren't able to make class last night. As such, we had a small group; Mariedke, Colby, and me. Colby is new to jiu jitsu, but has been training in martial arts since he was 10 (he is in his early 30s).

i went through all of the stances, blocks, and punches with Colby as well as radial, BPO, and lateral femoral strikes. Colby is one of those people who doesn't feel pain. None of the pressure points phased him at all, even when using 30-40% power.

We finished up with two new takedowns for Colby: ankle-thigh and neck twist. we worked on these several times and then incorporated them into some wrist grab techniques.

Did some one-on-one reviewing with Colby on breakfalls 1,2,3, and 5.
Reviewed Defensive stance and moving in defensive stance. Jab, cross, hook, and upper cut.

Had 1 pair of students on the focus mitts and the 3rd student on a heavy bag. with jab/cross/hook/upper cut. reviewed open hand computer stuns with the heavy bag.

Reviewed wrist grabs: inline, cross, both wrists low, 2 hands on one wrist.

2 hands on throat from front, close, arms bent.

After, Sensei Mariedke took the two white belts and I worked with Kyle on club defense. Both Kyle and Sensei Mariedke have experience in Arnis so I learned some new disarms and takedowns for club defense in addition to the usual can-ryu club defense. We also reviewed the inner winding throw and variations of how to grab uke's arm/shoulder.

Lead adult warm-up.

Focused on proper footwork for hook and upper cut punches.

Taught variations of the jugular notch take-down:

finger in-line with arm and push finger in and down

open palm, facing down, apply pressure with index, middle, and ring fingers & wiggle.

Collar takedown: grabbing collar vs hooking hands over shoulders
