Training report: Questions & Answers

The topic of Questions & Answers is a great way to get feedback on our teaching program.

The students can ask questions about techniques or concepts that we do not cover in our 12 weeks program or maybe on something that they have missed out.

This week question was on how to defend the hip bump sweep, finishes from the mount (such as the gift wrap), we also introduced the single X guard and straight ankle lock on Thursday.
We continued this topic on Saturday class.

Another great quote that comes to mind is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
