1) Instructor takes the time to ask everyone how long they have trained. Most people say something less than 5 years. He tells us that training less than 5 years doesn't really count as training. He has been training for 25 years. 25 years well spent!
2) He demos a bunch of throws with no resistance on his assistant, throwing him into the wall one time. His assistant assures us that they actually love each other, and he only hurts him because he loves him.
3) He shows us some moves and we practice them. When he demos another move on his willing assistant with no resistance, he almost breaks the assistant's finger and nose. The assistant tells us that you need to train like that... if you want to survive on "the street".
4) A warm and paternal moment as he shares with us the difference between sport and street. At any moment, everyone around you is plotting to kick you in the taint. That's why we keeps it real. This ain't about no points, son!
5) He gets in Randy's guard and puts a cross choke on Randy. He asks what Randy would do in that situation. Randy says he would armbar him. He seems doubtful. They go live and Randy armbars him in 10 seconds. He wants to go again. This time he keeps his elbows in and tries to stab Randy's pressure point on his thigh. Randy triangles him in 10 seconds. Afterwards, he gives Randy some helpful tips on how to do an armbar. Randy did it wrong when he tapped him with an armbar in 10 seconds. I guess he was in a hurry.
6) He shows us how to do an armbar from the mount when the guy on bottom is trying to collar choke you.
7) He shows a mount escape that involves raising your arms high above your head, giving up the high mount. This allows you to bridge more and roll your opponent easily. He invites some small women to do the move. It works when they do it against the 250 pound assistant, but doesn't work when they do it against a 150 pound guy who didn't look like he was resisting hard either. Eventually, the solution is to turn and give up your back and armbar the guy who's on your back.
