It’s still all about closed guard.

The women’s class worked attacks and defences from closed guard, the beginners looked at sweeps, and the mixed ability class covered some closed guard concepts before exploring the Baratoplata and some of the options around it. Then it was time for some rounds.

Another great night of Sumo. Good training and good company.

Tuesday night workshop class.

We covered a bit of everything. Takedowns, guard passing, sweeps and whatever else people wanted help with.

BJJ comp class was all about closed guard. Submissions from closed guard, passing closed guard, and plenty of positional sparring around closed guard.

Yesterday’s kids comp class worked on escaping and maintaining closed guard, followed by lots of rounds to put it all into practice.

Great turnout for Tuesday’s kickboxing class 👊

What an awesome seminar with Tarik Hopstock

He took us through the common entries, from simple to flashy, and setups for the Tarikoplata, along with loads of details, concepts, finishing mechanics and answers to all the inevitable “what ifs?”.

To top it all off, he stayed around for plenty of rounds so everyone could see it all working in real time.

If you ever get the chance to attend one of his seminars, don’t miss out.

He’s also surprisingly good at singing Baby Shark.

Sumo!

Because what else would you do with a sunny Sunday on Southampton Common?!

Kickboxing is on twice a week at Parity 👊
