Tuesday: Briggs Sankaku

Karen Briggs

Tuesday is newaza nite. For this session, we will learn the Briggs Sankaku, which is actually more of a turnover into osaekomi. This is the favored newaza technique of four-times World Champion Karen Briggs of Great Britain.

We will also revise the Keylock Roll that Connie Ramsay showed us last Tuesday. It's important to revise techniques we've learned in order to seal it into memory. Besides, the Keylock Roll has a similar entry to the Briggs Sankaku so it is related in a way.

After the groundwork session is done, we will do a bit of gripping work. I'll go through some gripping basics, theory, practical applications and so on. Then, we'll end with randori, first with newaza and then finally with tachi-waza. Should be a good session.
