Karate Session

Small class but it was good for me to work on things. Ran through, in detail, everything i will need to do for Shodan grading in March. Pretty much managed to get 1-2-1 attention throughout which was great. Multiple rounds of kumite too which was also good with the 2nd dan who was there. Then just ran through all the Heian katas back to back followed by Tekki Shodan and Bassai Dai myself just to get some more practice in

BJJ Session

We were working de la riva into seated guard. Working simple tripod sweep and also worked a worm guard style one. Also did several rounds of rolling which went ok (apart from getting effortlessly smashed by one of the black belts!)
