In this week's Monday Evening Women only class, coach Noa Lellouch (@lellouchenoa) worked with her trainees on some basic takedowns followed by a study of fundamental half guard sweeps. Coach Noa showed how to use the kneeshield to maintain distance and get the underhook, followed by three ways to sweep the opponent.
