Taught a fun kids class with the CSTG warm up and pad striking and then enter off the pad hit to take down.
Adults was a long work of softwork striking entering taking down.
Told them to NOT fight the takedown but embrace it and learn by embracing the takedown you get some control on the decent (not every takedown of course but lots).
Then we move to a far more aggressive controlled decent by hooking and taking them with you BUT you must hook pull and spin to bring them over top.
Then for fun we worked on a standing scissor takedown (waist and knee).
Then using the scissor takedown rolling to absorb a roundhouse kick to the thigh dropping the KICKED leg down on one knee to hook the ankle and rolling to use your other leg to attack the knee – scissor takedown.
THEN some more free flowing exchange of strikes takedown and counters.
