My first lesson back teaching was with my Cotswold Karate School client. We are on hour seven of his Submission Grappling course and decided to have something of a review from all positions. We used the following series of 3-minute sparring games:
No hands series:
- Pins versus escape (no hands)
- Ditto
- Sweep, submission position or escape using turtle versus getting both hooks in or get pin (no hands)
- Ditto
- Sweep, submission position or escape using closed guard versus stand up (no hands)
- Ditto
Specific position series:
- Sweep, submission or escape using butterfly guard versus chest-to-chest pin
- Ditto
- Sweep, submission or escape from chest-to-chest half-guard versus pass guard or submit
- Ditto
- Ditto (other side)
- Ditto (other side)
Last round: 5 minutes free-sparring starting from stand-up position
