I will be there.
I keep meaning to come back to sparring but haven’t managed my time well this month. :(

We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

May i take this opportunity to say that the time Rach and I attended the grappling seminar as part of our honeymoon and learnt to choke each other out is still cause for much merriment amongst our families.
I used it the other night when i wanted a beer. Rach said it wasn’t paleo…....she woke up thinking she’d fallen asleep on the sofa.
“Yes love…..you fell asleep…...... :twisted: “

In the seminar we will cover too many techniques to be retained in such a short period of time. To assist you in your retention, I have put together this review guide.
The document is password protected, the password will be distributed at the seminar.
Please view this handout as a gift to those who attended, and is intended to be a refresher course, it is not a substitute for qualified instruction.

Yes! Excellent seminar. Thanks Darby and Josh and of course Mikki and Jeff for bringing the RockPile to Brand X!
Someday I will be able to think one step at a time and not get it all jumbled up in my head when I am laying on my back. This was a refresher from earlier stuff at Darby’s and I still got all confused! grrr.
I learned to use a safe word with Gerrie…“cooperative!” LOL. Gonna be some nice bruises on my my biceps tomorrow.

Darby: Thank you so much. Great class! Chuck and I are good friends and that is what he called taking it easy. Now you know why we have no enemies!

Darby,
Thanks for another great opportunity to learn. You are an outstanding instructor. The handout was outstanding too!!

He was just a man doing a job. A job whose primary attribute was self-restraint and self-composure, not for his own sake, but for those whom he lead by example. A job whose objective could be boiled down to the single understatement, as he did at the Hot Gates on the morning he died, of performing the commonplace under uncommonplace conditions.
