Steady rolling, 2x speed.
The last few weeks we’ve been working a lot around lapel grips, worm guard, lapel guard, seated guard and brabo-style attacks, so this round had a nice flow to it. North East/West to Mount is a staple, keep an eye on for that.
While the heavy lads got their rounds in, I jumped in with one of our lighter blue belts. Big weight gap, big strength gap, but that doesn’t mean the round has to be pointless or unsafe.
There’s a way to roll across size differences.
For the lighter grapplers: find people you trust. People who will challenge you without trying to flatten you.
For the bigger lads, dad bod bald brown belts included 🙋♂️: be a good training partner. Give enough pressure to make them work, but not so much that the round becomes survival only.
This was a fun round. Technical, controlled, and still hard work.
That’s how it should be.
Anyone picking up on Cat refusing to use hooks from the back, it's not by mistake. But you need to come to class to learn that one 😉
