    Simon you should probably update the OP with all the new information regarding the event so that there's an easy reference point.

    Thanks to getting my shifts changed at work I'll most likely be coming along to this one. I know, I know. Try to contain your excitement.

    Also just to throw this out there, and sorry if its a bit derailing, but when I got my blue belt there were a few posts about doing something at a meet. There's enough grapplers that are waaay better than me teaching anyway and I'm not entirely confident enough in my ability to teach anything but noobs, but when it was mentioned I thought about what I could show other than a basic bjj introduction that was applicable for more people. Other than attacking mount or turtle I came up with some ideas for showing simple ways to create space and get back to the feet from different positions off your back. So guard, side, knee on belly, mount.

    I'm not sure how exciting a "get to your feet" session would be but I was curious if there'd be any interest in something like that?

    At RGA we dd a self defence butt scoot session with the bjj get up an living from the ground. I've used it pretty well in class and open mat clubs.
    Also love those pop ups from knee on billy, the transition is so smooth to so many other things.

    Hm... I have an idea of a high level bjj guy in the area whis also a MAP member who might be interested. If that's okay with you southy?

    ALSO - mods, if we need anything set up in the area I'm up for doing the leg work under JWTs supervision of course :p

    I have to admit I'm curious about a self defence butt scoot :p

    It would also make more sense to get that dude to do it over a blue belt teaching an mma technique :p

    What Lefty's talking about is actually anti-cuddling. I think he's got a blue belt in wing chun or some such bauble.

    I'd be very interested in this.

    Even if you were teaching it! ;)

    My belt is actually colorless. People only perceive it as blue because of the aura I emit.

    Oh. Well I am much disappointed then.

    Southpaw you fiend, pushing me away from you and into Mushroom...

    Shameful.

    :p

    EDIT: Seriously though, any kind of BJJ stuff would be cool.

    I feel like I'm being a tad disingenuous. Things related to standing up I mostly learnt from mma. But its still grappling :p

    Anyway Shroomy would only show you how to take people down. What's the point in that if everyone from my class can pop right back up? :D

    Anyway there would be hugging. Lots of touching and laying on partners, and some of the stuff I can think of would have submission possibilities instead of just getting up. Can mushroom show you a peruvian necktie?! Probably! But mine would be better.
