November 22, 2024 • Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes

Welcome back to Tap Nap & Snap - the newsletter that’s here to remind you that Black Friday can’t bankrupt you if you just stay at open mat the entire time. Be safe, go train.

Let's go! 🔥

Before We Hit The Mats … 🤼

This week's newsletter partner is Mat with the epic Caulicooler. 💪

If you’re on the mats long enough, there’s a good chance you’ll go home one day after training, look in the mirror and notice your ear looks puffier than usual.

The good news is - this isn’t cauliflower ear … yet. This is a fluid build-up that happens after a bit of damage; however, if it isn’t dealt with quickly, it will harden and turn into the dreaded vegetable.

The best way to prevent it is to avoid the damage in the first place by using headgear ✅ or adopting a completely sedentary lifestyle. 👎 The second best way to avoid it is to drain it and apply cold pressure as soon as you can. 🧊

With Caulicooler’s products, you’ll find ways to both prevent it and deal with it - so you can train hard and stop your ears looking like chewed bubblegum.

Mat’s happy to help save the ears 👂 of the Tap Nap & Snap audience, so he’s offering 25% off all Caulicooler packs with the code TN&S25 until stock runs out.👇

“The Primary Sequence” 🔥👇

Freak For The Technique is our shorter fortnightly edition where we drop a solid move, sequence or idea that’s been working well on the mats lately so you can play with it and add it to your game! 

This week, we check out something we've been working on in our gym for a long time with the in-house name - 'The Primary Sequence' 😎 🔥 

From the top half-guard, we first focus on beating our opponent's frames and moving through to a strong reverse half-guard position. Once secured, we drive the knee to the mat and quickly chair sit through - right to the back. This is a verified morning crew favouriteTM  ✅.

Hit play on the video above to head over and check it out ⬆️ - and give us a like and subscribe if you’re feeling it! 🙏

This is what happens when you let the professional rugby players run their own warm-ups before class. My ACL just tore watching this 😬👇
