Training Report: Guard Pass

I did not take an pictures last week so I am going to post some from our students instead
This is a picture of Fern who is currently training Judo in Japan.
In this picture she is with Yoshio Kanaya (left) and Matsura Sensei (middle) at the Daishin Judo Club.
I am not too sure if they were impressed with her white belt BJJ with 2 stripes.

This week was short to the public holiday and we covered guard pass.
Such techniques do varies greatly depending in you train GI or NOGI.
Serge taught reverse de la riva on Tuesday Nogi advance and Stu taught lapel guard (aslo known as the wor guard) in advanced Thursday.
Adam Wilson also demonstrated his single X entry to straight ankle and how to defend the same attack.

Since we have no more competition, we are now winding down towards the end of the year.

Please note that graduation is on Monday 3 December from 6 pm at Sandringham Dojo.
This is the first time we have a merged graduation at the new expansion.

If you want to learn BJJ, please come down for a free class or email us for more information.
All levels welcome.

The last pictures are from the NZ Judo Nationals where Ben won the bronze medal.
Well done.
