Attendance for our self-defense classes were low last night due to Cinco de Mayo. So, after training a couple of defenses against full nelson attacks, we had some extra time at end of our intermediate level class. So we played the “Monkey Around The Tree” grappling game. None of these students had played the game before. Brian was the first one to get all the way around the tree (Greg). Good job Brian! It’s a fun game but is also an excellent conditioning drill for both the monkey and the tree.
