Classical



from a sleeve and belt



variation; both legs fall to the outside (yoko wakare reverse?) upon descent sleeve hand takes the back of the far side knee... much like a wrestling move I was shown once I was told was called 'the switch'.

Watching a very cool turnover




One of the Sankaku into armbar set ups that Rick taught from the turnovers. Very cool. Nothing beats the triangle armbar for 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' efficiency!

All in all, it was a pretty great little seminar and workout. Made a lot of new friends.
