CMAA Summer Course
Yesterday John, Dave K, Avi, Ric, Frodo, Gaz and Ste went to the CMAA Summer Course which is always a good chance to network and catch up with some of the other guys from arround the country.
I was teaching the lead-off slot this year and after weeks of going round in circles trying to figure out what to cover I decided to look at aspects of the 4 drivers and how they could help everyone's game. We concentrated on balance and footwork before moving on to tight, economical structure. Even the simple drills we played around with had people questioning the habits that they exhibited when training. Which is what it's all about.
Good to see Ste, Phil and Chloë down from SKD also sporting the shorts and t-shirts look.
I ended up being the crash test dummy of choice for the day and worked with Neil Froggatt (covering chokes with sticks and improvised weapons) and Andy Crittenden (covering apsects of the SDF approach).
Ask the guys about Apache Joe.

Hey Mark. Good to hear from you. The lads did alright and it's good to see them that eager to work on the ground game. If there is interest we can sort out me coming up to you guys and doing a seminar. I know that there are other clubs up your way that might be interested in this sort of thing too. Drop me an email if you think that'd be useful.
It's worth having a look down through the posts on here too, there are a number of grappling specific posts covering all sorts of ideas.
