A good session to start off the week. The Self Defense move was the counter to the front bear hug (under the arms), with the hip throw. The finish on the ground was a straight armlock with choke (a force choke, while you figure four the arm for the lock).
On the ground, we worked on side control, maintaining top position and switching back from regular side control with the front seatbelt control, as well as the "watchdog" version.
Not a lot of mat time on Monday. I got to roll with J.M. for about 6-7 minutes at a really nice clip to finish things off in an open mat. A lot of folks were leaving right at the end of the class - or shortly after the specific started - so it felt a little bit like an abbreviated session.
163.4 on the scale post-train. Yikes! You'd think that last weekend was the three-day weekend instead of this past one.
