Sample Class- Attacking from the Mount
This is the sort of thing you learn at our Core classes. In this video, I'm teaching some fundamental moves to pin and submit your opponent in the Mount Position.

A special day on the mats on Saturday! Black belt promotions don't come around very often, so to get the chance to give 2 out on Saturday to a pair of really deserving guys was a nice moment.
