Hey guys, I am considering starting to do submission wrestling classes at my place, possibly on Monday evenings.  If anyone is interested in joining please reach out to me to let me know.  At the moment I think I can accommodate 2-4 pairs of people and I am going to try to open up space to make this easier to pull off.  If anyone knows of a larger space I'm happy to get more mats for it.

The curriculum will be the same as my youtube channel (the link is the house in my profile at the right of the Introduction banner) which will go over basic positions, transitions, escapes, and submissions which you'd usually find in a no gi BJJ curriculum.  At this time I won't be covering standing for space and liability reasons.  Rolling will be likely 1 or 2 pairs at a time in 3 minute rounds and participants will be allowed to participating in rolling after their 10th class.

Full disclosure: I am a BJJ blue belt, this is a basics class.  I cannot do belt promotions and if you decide to compete in a tournament you should train under a black belt.

I’d def be interested. Are you leaning more submission or pro moves/holds? Or both.

I may be interested. I want to hear more about what you're planing. I mean, I'm 51yo, a beginner, I'd love to learn a bit. The most important thing to me is to minimize the risk of injury, which is why I wouldn't join a BJJ gym in the city with random people. But a small group with like minded people who are there not to prove anything but to learn and are safety-minded, slow and controlled, could be great. What are you planning?
