2026 Windsong Fall Clinic

George Spriggs began his martial arts journey in 1972 and has trained in taekwondo, Tiger Swallow Praying Mantis Kung Fu, aikido, judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, and hand-to-hand combatives. His background includes training in Korea, at Prairie View A&M University, at U.S. Army Ranger School, and with instructors including Ken Drye and Roy Goldberg Sensei.

At this year’s Fall Clinic, George will teach 𝘈𝘪𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘉𝘑𝘑: 𝘈𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, exploring how familiar aikido techniques can be adapted to a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu environment. The session will look at asymmetric applications influenced by dance and Daito-ryu movement, with subtle atemi and structural changes used to make aikido principles work effectively in a grappling context.

**Fall Clinic Instructor Spotlight: Prentis Glover**

Prentis has been studying martial arts since 1971 and has experience across more than seven different arts. He joined Windsong in 1999 and teaches classes in aikido, judo, and jodo.

At this year’s Fall Clinic, Prentis will teach a session called **Finding the Off-Balance: Kuzushi and Timing in Judo**, exploring practical ways to disrupt balance before the throw using timing, movement, and “tick-tock” drills.

He’ll also lead Windsong’s regular Saturday Morning Judo class, which is open to clinic participants.
