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:

  1. Pins versus escape (no hands)
  2. Ditto
  3. Sweep, submission position or escape using turtle versus getting both hooks in or get pin (no hands)
  4. Ditto
  5. Sweep, submission position or escape using closed guard versus stand up (no hands)
  6. Ditto

Specific position series:

  1. Sweep, submission or escape using butterfly guard versus chest-to-chest pin
  2. Ditto
  3. Sweep, submission or escape from chest-to-chest half-guard versus pass guard or submit
  4. Ditto
  5. Ditto (other side)
  6. Ditto (other side)

Last round: 5 minutes free-sparring starting from stand-up position
