Joint Combatives Class - 13/03/2015

Having been remiss in posting on time, rather than do a lesson-by-lesson post this time, I have instead elected to summarise the past three or so lessons.  Many thanks to Yiren and Keat for their generosity with both time and knowledge, and to Nigel for being a great training partner.  Any errors in recording the PTK work are entirely mine.
