Tatami Talk

In Episode 61 of Tatami Talk, we start off talking about our friend at 510 Judo and their beach  Judo/Wrestling event being held at Alameda Beach in the SF Bay Area on  September Sunday the 11th. An open grappling event focuses on takedowns  with no pins or submissions. No winners no losers just a bunch of  grapplers coming together to have a fun time on the beach. We then go on  to talk about Anthony's experience at Darcel Yandzi's 3 day training  camp. Held in Baldwin Park over the Labor Day weekend. What was it like  training with Yandzi? How did he like it and enjoy it? And as always the  pros and cons of going into these events. We then talk a bit about techniques being wrongly categorized when posted on social media and whether it really matters or not.
