11/16/19 John Danaher Video

Wathched John Danaher with Joe Rogan this morning. Several things stood out:
1- Talked a lot about martial arts in general being the foundation, in particular with GSP. He had more than just wrestling and ground and pound.
2- Liked his mention of BJJ is 4 things:
A- Take it to the ground
B- Pass the Feet
C- Control the Body
D- Submit/Finish
3- Not position before submission, control before submission. This is really Pedro's approach. Control the opponent the whole way through!

Very cool.

12/5/19 Class

Drill arm bars Drill triangles Drill what you know from side Drill what you know from mount Drill sweeps Monkey lines- bottom person escape from side control, top person advance position.

Hold some characteristic or trait that they didn't know you had to win. WIN.

11/9/2019 MMA Class

Love this class with Marshal. Worked defending the body punches. Stand up sparring Defending punches from the guard, get to mount, get out of the guard, sweep! Dont defend kicks with your hand! Ouch... Punches to the body hurt, even with the pads on! Everyone donned the body protectors and had 30seconds of everyone in the room punching them Work with the stick and the knife- defending the knife means controlling the knife. The 12 step stick/knife movement
