Gi study will be taking a deeper diver into more spider guard sweeps and drills. Time permitting maybe even an attack or 2!You've probably seen the emails that gi study will be on a hiatus for a bit. Don't worry I'll still be teaching just Wednesdays at 8PM for gi fundamentals. You know what that means? If there a wrist lock opportunity in a fundamentals technique I'll be showing it! 🤣Let's pack the mats for these last few gi study classes!!!

I feel often times you hear not to give up a position that would be considered advantageous or dominant. However, sometimes these are great positions for us personally or we know the person is about to get out or sweep us. When we know this is coming I'm a firm believer in letting it happen if we can control the outcome. I'd rather give up a position if I control where it is going vs letting the other person decide.

Also, wrist lock white belts 🤣

Sorry to have missed this week's gi study being sick but you all were in great hands with Professor Thomas as we started spider guard. 

If you could instantly absorb this one, it'd leave alot of time to focus on everything else.

But what if you focus on sport and they pull guard? New skills, gone 🤣

If you could instant obtain a high skill level in any position, which would you pick and why? 

I'd take half guard. It's one of those positions that just doesn't stick with me so I'd love to no longer have to learn it and focus on other positions or moves.

This week in gi study we will wrap up our look at the lasso guard. We'll review a few of the moves that all chain together to make a nice system or sequence. 

This is a great time to come if you haven't made any of the block as it'll be a quick moving review too!

I always look what gyms are around, but with family sometimes I can't find one with a class time that fits with the vacation.
