10/3/07 - SBD - Losasso Sa Bom

For the next two weeks we are doing sparring. We started class with 1 min sparring matches and then split up the Dans and Gups.

We worked on 2-on-1 sparring. The technique Losasso Sa Bom used was like the set up for low block. The leg thats in front, the other hand is guarding high and the same side hand is guarding low. As soon as the first person moves, rush toward them (tightly, very close to them) and try to catch something while they block. Go for the take down. Obviously never be in between the two because you only want to fight one person at a time.

We also did a great exercise where the 1 person starts against the wall. that way he can not move back, only towards his attackers.

To end class we did round robin sparring. All the Dans lined up on one side and all the Gups on the other. As SBN yelled switch, you continued sparring but moved onto the next person.
