Training report: North South and August Calendar

This week, we covered the North South Position
for fundamentals.

Often discarded in some program, we cover this position 4 weeks per year as it is legit dominant position to establish a guard pass just like the side control position.

James (Judo second degree black belt) covered the principles of grip fighting on Monday at Sandrigham.

We are still taking new students at the Sandringham location.

Come down for a free class.
