I spent yesterday teaching a bunch of classes including kids BJJ, adult BJJ (both a beginner and an advanced one) and then today I headed out to Waterloo to teach the final lesson in my “Intro to MMA” program.

We focused on using the Guard for MMA. I showed a few ways to stay safe from punches, a way to stand back up to your feet and several submissions.

Due to the great response, I’ve decided to create and run a follow up program in January which will cover more advanced techniques that build upon what we covered in the intro program.

After the 1.5 hour MMA session, we had a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu  team training session. With over 40 people on the mats, everyone had a great time and 4 white belts walked away with their blue belts after it was all said and done.

I’m off to watch a movie… Hope everyone enjoyed UFC 107. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. Once I do –which will probably be tommorrow– I post my thoughts.

How were the fights?
