1:Tonight we ran through the Blue Belt syllabus.

1:Tonight we started with our feet in our partners hips and we had control of their wrist,or gi cuffs(Thumbs out).We had 3 choices(1) Turn on right hip and put our knee across their belly, pull them forward for the sweep (2) They stand up and put 1 leg forward we would grab the leg,push the opposite hip back and put them on their butt(3)They came up onto 1 knee so we put out foot under that knee for the hook,pull their arms forward,and lift up that same knee for the hooking sweep.

2:We started off with our feet in our partners hips,and control of their sleeves.We put our left foot behind their knee,then followed with the right.Ten we put the right foot back in the hip,and followed with the left,then put our right foot in their left bicep,and followed with the left,then right foot back to the hip followed by the left.Also did cross grips with our hands.We did this over and over to keep our partner at bay and in control.

3:Here we had the grip collar and sleeve grips,and our partner stood up and put their left foot forward,which we grabbed with our left hand,at their ankle.We turned on our right side,and placed our left foot in their guts.Pulling their left foot towards us,and pushing our left foot away,we swept then on their butt,jumping to our back on our knees.

4:Again our partner stood up,and we had the collar and sleeve grips.We first let go of their right sleeve with our right ahnd and grabbed their left ankle.We let the ankle go coming back to the centre,and crossing grips with our right hand grabbing their right gi cuff,and the left hand grabbed their right ankle.Letting go of their ankle,we came back to the centre,and our left hand grabbed their right gi cuff again,and our right hand grabbed their ankle,repeating over and over again.

4B.Same grips as drill 4.Our right hand lets go and grabbed their left ankle.We turned on our right hand side and placed our right foot between their legs,and our left foot went into the middle of their guts.Using our right right calf muscle,we cut this at their right ankle,and pushed our left foot away,sweeping them over on their butt, jumping to our knees.

5:Our partner would move left or right,stand up and put a foot forward, or come up on one knee,and we we get to choose one of the above accordingly.

6:Our partner would have to pass our guard,or we would have to sweep them using one of the above,switching around when our goal was achieved.

7:Our partner was on their knees,and we had the collar and sleeve grips.We pulled their right arm forward towards us,and took our left foot off their hip,launching them to our right hand side.Once they were here,we put our left hand over their back and grabbed their left Lat,and our guts went into their right tricep with the goal to take their back.

1:Tonight we started with our feet in our partners hips and we had control of their wrist,or gi cuffs.We had 3 choices(1) Turn on right hip and put our knee across their belly, pull them forward for the sweep (2) They stand up and put 1 leg forward we would grab the leg,push the opposite hip back and put them on their butt(3)They came up onto 1 knee so we put out foot under that knee for the hook,pull their arms forward,and lift up that same knee for the hooking sweep.

2:We started off being on mount smothering our partner.They used their arms to push us off,giving us the gift of their arms.We put our right hand in the centre of their chest,and brought the left hand around their right arm,and on top of our right hand.We then jumped up to a squat,and placed our left foot by their right ear.Stepping over their head with our right foot we slide down the bat pole and captured their right arm.Squeezing our knees together and welding their little finger to the centre of our chest, we lay back and bridged our hips up for the tap.

3:Here we went for drill 2 and went to secure the arm, but our partner pulled their arm back towards them and rolled onto their side.With our right hand,we grabbed their right arm,and posted on our left hand,and took our left leg off their head,and posted up to sit on their ribs.Spinning around we grabbed their left arm with our  right hand,sat down on our butt,grabbed their left  leg with our left hand, squeezed our knees together,welded their little finger to our chest, bridged up for hip penetration for the tap.

4:We went for drill 2 then 3 but fucked both up,as on drill 3 they pulled their arm back.we posted up on our left arm, and put our right hand in between their legs, turned and stepped our left leg right over(turning onto our stomach),and ended up in side control,swithed base,and killed the fly ending up in mount to start the drill again

5:Here our partner was in our side control but had  their right hand between our legs.We squeezed our knees together and pulled them down a little, pushed their head down to the point where we could swing our left leg over their head.We then swung our right leg over our left leg,so our left ankle was under the back of our right knee.We then used our right hand to grab under their stomach,and brought our left arm around also.From here we squeezed our legs down to the ground,and squeezed our arms down for the tap.This move is the reverse Triangle.

“Gareth was late tonight,and it was noted”

1:Tonight we started with our feet in our partners hips and we had control of their wrist,or gi cuffs.We had 3 choices(1) Turn on right hip and put our knee across their belly, pull them forward for the sweep (2) They stand up and put 1 leg forward we would grab the leg,push the opposite hip back and put them on their butt(3)They came up onto 1 knee so we put out foot under that knee for the hook,pull their arms forward,and lift up that same knee for the hooking sweep.

2:We started off with our feet in our partners hips,and control of their sleeves.We put our left foot behind their knee,then followed with the right.Ten we put the right foot back in the hip,and follwed with the left,then put our right foot in ther left bicep,and followed with the left,then right foot back to the hip followed by the left.Also did cross grips with our hands.We did this over and over to keep our partner at bay and in control.

3:Here we had our feet in their hips again with grips.Our partner had to try and pass our guard without using their hands,and only using hips,shoulders,and legs.

4:Here we had our feet in their hips and control of sleeves.Our partner would have to pass our guard,or we would have to sweep them.

5:This time our partner would  have their feet in our hips.We grabbed their gi pants at the ankles,and stepped back pushing their legs to our right,side stepping,and sliding our right knee down the side of their left leg coming to knee ride.From knee ride we dropped down to side control.

6:Again our partner had their feet in our hips.Using both hands we wrapped them around their thighs,and crushed their legs down to the mat.With our right hand we grabbed their left leg,and walked around to our left keeping low,and ending up in side control.

7:All the Bluebelts (Except me and the injured Scotty)went into the middle,and got to chose what grips and guard the wanted.They would either sweep their partner, or their partner would have to pass their guard.

1:We started off being on mount smothering our partner.They used their arms to push us off,giving us the gift of their arms.We put our right hand in the centre of their chest,and brought the left hand around their right arm,and on top of our right hand.We then jumped up to a squat,and placed our left foot by their right ear.Stepping over their head with our right foot we slide down the bat pole and captured their right arm.Squeezing our knees together and welding their little finger to the centre of our chest, we lay back and bridged our hips up for the tap.

2:Here we started off in with our partner in side control,and we had our left hand grabbing their right bicep,and our right hand over the opposite side.We then did a quick push up and jumped to knee,and pull their right arm to the sky.Putting all our weight on our right knee,we stepped our left leg over their head,slid down the bat pole(Arm),and sat on our butt.bringing our knees together we welded their little finger to our chest bridges up for hip penetration,for the Arm bar.(Near arm bar in the Blue belt Syllabus)

3:Again we had side control and jumped to knee ride, but stuffed up the near arm bar.Our partner used their left hand to push on our right knee to try and get us off  knee ride creating a big hole.We used our right hand to cup their left arm,and stood up to pull them right onto their side,almost onto our feet.Steeping over their head,we spun around and kicked them in the ribs with our left foot,and again sitting on our butt(our right leg was also over their head).We then brung our knees together,welded their little finger to our chest,and bridged up for the arm bar(This is the far armbar in the Blue Belt Syllabus).

4:Here we had Guard,and had  our right hand gripping just behind the tricep,and our left hand gripping their right wrist.We open our legs and slid ou left legs up tight to put out foot into their right hip.Doing 3 things simultaneously now(1)Sitting up(2) swinging our right leg over their back(3)cooming around to our right 90 degrees.From here we put our left leg over their head,so the back of our knee was over the back of the neck.We then squeezed the knees,welded the little finger to the centre of our chest,and bridged up for the tap.

5:We put all 4 of the above together in sequence

6:We started on our knees head to head,and got 1 move each,to try and sub each other.

1:Tonight we started with being in our partners Side control,with our hands up protecting our neck.We would then use our forearms to push on our partners ribs,until they touched our thighs.Bumping them up,we then brought our right knee through,and spun around 90 degree’s to face our partner,putting them in guard.We then went to the opposite side and did the same drill,alternating from both sides.

2:Here we had our feet in our partners hips and we had control of their wrist,or gi cuffs.We had 3 choices(1) Turn on right hip and put our knee across their belly, pull them forward for the sweep (2) They stand up and put 1 leg forward we would grab the leg,push the opposite hip back and put them on their butt(3)They came up onto 1 knee so we put out foot under that knee for the hook,pull their arms forward,and lift up that same knee for the hooking sweep.

3:Head to head this time ( Geoff explained that we should be relaxed,and our aim is that we are either playing guard, and our partner’s is to pass our guard).This time our partner put their right foot in the middle between our legs.Our right hand snuck down and grabbed their right foot,and our left hand grabbed over their right shoulder and grabbed their back(preferably the belt).We dropped our left elbow,and drove our head into their neck,and pulled their right foot to our right.This swept our partner onto their back,and we took side control.

4:Head to Head again but this time our partner reached over our left shoulder with their right hand,and grabbed our belt.We moved off line to our left,and duck our head under their arm to duck our the side to take their back.

5:This time we went for drill 4 but as we moved off line to our left,our partner dropped their arm so our head ended up getting stuck.With our right hand we grabbed their left knee,pulled that towards us,and drove our head into their neck,driving them sideways,and taking side control.

6:Again we went for drill 4 and our head ended up getting stuck again(Just like drill 5).Our partner sensed this and tried turning to their right to put us in their guard.We again drove them to the side with our head,pushed their right knee down with our right hand,and jumped over to clear their right leg, to secure side control.

7:Head to Head again.Our right hand goes into the side of their right collar,and our left hand gripped their right sleeve.We came up onto our left foot and placed it on the outside of their right knee.Pushing our right hand back,and around towards us,and pulling their right arm towards us,we swept them over our left leg to knee ride.

8:Head to Head.We had T-Rex arms,Short neck,and gorilla back.Our prater would extend their right hand towards us.As they grabbed us,we grabbed their right gi cuff with our left hand,and our right hand grabbed their right knee,and drove our head into the left hand side of their neck,and drove them sideways onto their back.

1:Tonight we started with our feet in our partners hips and we had control of their wrist,or gi cuffs.We had 3 choices(1) Turn on right hip and put our knee across their belly, pull them forward for the sweep (2) They stand up and put 1 leg forward we would grab the leg,push the opposite hip back and put them on their butt(3)They came up onto 1 knee so we put out foot under that knee for the hook,pull their arms forward,and lift up that same knee for the hooking sweep.

2:Here we started off in with our partner in side control,and we had our left hand grabbing their right bicep,and our right hand over the opposite side.We then did a quick pushup and jumped to knee,and pull their right arm to the sky.Putting all our weight on our right knee,we stepped our left leg over their head,slid down the batpole(Arm),and sat on our butt.bringing our knees together we welded their little finger to our chest bridges up for hip penetration,for the Armbar.(Near armbar in the Blue belt Syllabus)

3:Again we had side control and jumped to knee ride, but stuffed up the near armbar.Our partner used their left hand to push on our right knee to try and get us off  knee ride creating a big hole.We used our right hand to cup their left arm,and stood up to pull them right onto their side,almost onto our feet.Steeping over their head,we spun around and kicked them in the ribs with our left foot,and again sitting on our butt(our right leg was also over their head).We then brung our knees together,welded their little finger to our chest,and bridged up for the armbar(This is the far armbar in the Blue Belt Syllabus).

4:Side control,and our partner defends with their arms up.We placed our left hand under their right wrist,capturing the arm.We jumped up and captured the arm first,and put our left leg over their head,pulled their right arm up,wiper bladed our right leg up bringing our knees together,welding the little finger to our chest,bridging up for the tap.

5:Here we had side control,and our partner had their forearms up defending.With our right arm hand we placed it under their left tricep,and turned towards them.Walking around we shaved a few inches off their eye socket with our right Lat.We walked all the way around to the other side,but as we did this our partner placed their left hand on our left shoulder in defense.We grabbed their left leg with our left hand,turned 90 degrees to put our left shin in the small of their back,stepped our left leg over their head,squeezed the knees,welded the little finger to the centre of our chest and bridge up for the armbar.

6:Again same side control starting position as drill 4 but this time we walked all the way around to the left,and use our right Lat to separate their arms.With our right hand we grabbed their left wrist,and then grabbed our our own left wrist with our right hand.Walking back around to our original starting position,we put our left knee on their face to stop them from being able to move their head up,and slowly raised their left arm up to the sky for the figure 4.
