Theme & Techniques: Blue Belt Curriculum Page 1 and some Cross Guard
Student: Ben
Only Ben showed up today and I was so thankful to have at least one. The real curriculum of this week included Standing Guard Break, Torreando Pass, and Koshi Guruma which we covered a little bit of during the process. I had him do a couple reps of each techniques and then gave him a few pointers if I saw some things. A lot of the things were pretty nit picky but I think a few of the things he said were helpful tips.
We talked a bit about cross guard as a position and getting the omoplata. He was skipping over the position a little bit to get to the omoplata which makes it more difficult to get the wrist into the opposite hip.
We rolled a few times with some breaks to discuss a couple of options from positions. He said he liked rolling this way with a little bit of instruction mixed in. I think it has it's time and place and definitely don't want to be the guy that stops a roll for instruction because I'm going to get caught in a submission and I do my best to avoid being patronizing to anyone.
