Team:

Nice work on the mats this afternoon! Don't forget about tomorrow's open mat, either. It starts at 3 p.m.

In today's class we covered throws and knee-on-belly escapes. Specifically, the ippon seoinage and morote seionage were taught, and three escapes and defenses against your opponent taking his knee across your stomach were covered.

Here's a rundown of the throws, courtesy of Mike Swain:





Lastly, I want to tell you that all is well after the car accident. Thankfully, there were no major injuries -- the car can be repaired or replaced, but she can't! I appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers, and sorry I had to leave early.

We'll see you all on the mat tomorrow at 3 p.m.!
