A QUICK ROLL with 7 of my BLUE BELT Students!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZrVMnhVgVc
I try and roll in a long sequence with my students where they come in fresh one after the other after I’ve had a good rolling session during class. This keeps my cardio up and ensures that I need to keep on top of my game. Take a look at this video where I use some of the techniques that I’ve spoken about in previous videos. If there are some moves that I use that you would like me to cover in future video tutorials. Please just ask in the comment box below. Enjoy!

Is there a position you can get into where when you are being crushed…you can be safe (relatively), regain your breath and wait for a (very likely) opening for you to regain control? well, the Pillow Defence might be such a position. And therefore a must for anyone’s game. Check out this video. It is super easy to execute. Try it on the mat and let me know how it goes…
