As Lee was working with Milzy for his up and coming fight, Joe took the main class on the mats.
We began with big glove boxing looking for the clinch.
The mental age and psychological preparation: Lee gathered us in to talk about he prepares us mentally. The use of key words and visualisation. None of this yelling and psyching up as it does not do any good and will have short term uses and benefits.
4 corner takedown pressure drill: Groups of 4, each person in for several rounds of grappling. New partner every 30 seconds. First round was hold down. Second round was submit. Third round was prevent partner from getting up.
Take down pressure: Same round idea as above, one person in and 4 rotating every 30 seconds. The idea was to give the solo as much takedown pressure as possible. No striking from either side. Solo needs to stay on feet and sprawl and defend the takedown. Very tough on the heart and lungs. I managed use get butted very hard in ear by Sami. Still hurts now 8 days later as I type.
Hold down and submit v stand up and escape: Does exactly what it says on the tin. Start again when all contact has been lost.
Free form grappling: Again, a week after class so can't remember with whom I was rolling with. Guaranteed it was hard, fast and fun.
