Class 10

Tech 1: Sweep from the knee - post up a lead knee in between his legs; cross collar grip, fall back; turn with the grips as I lift with the leg hook for the sweep.

Tech 2: Cross Collar choke from knee. Get the grip and change angle.

Rolling. Two taps: total to 35.

White gets me on an Kimura off side; Blue gets me on a freakin' Triangle. Come on. I posted up the wrong knee on the escape. I know the escape. I know the escape. Trapped side, that's the knee that goes up, twist and out. T for Triangle; T for Trapped. Remember it that way.

Last roll: with a lower White. He puts a lead knee up, and I realize he's going for that sweep from knee, but he's a bit hesitant; so I post my knee on outside of his and push with the cross collar grip and get the takedown (funny because I just learned it from Chris the Black who showed this as a sidebar to the Sweep from Knee - he said when you're first rolling and you try this takedown and it fails, then go for the between the knee sweep).

I get the takedown to side and use Roger Gracie's Side to Mount. He tried various escapes but I had good Mount maintenance and maintained my position. I attempted Cross Collar Choke and was going for the first deep grip on the left side but he defended. So I switched over to the side and got a deep grip with my left hand on his right side. Time ran out.

From there: I needed to lift him with that grip to adjust; get the second grip, get high mount and put my head down on mat way above him and finish the choke.

Need to work on: Guard -- 1. Get butt off the mat; 2. Break grips; 3. Crunch with legs to break posture; repeat til something opens up.

Guard -- get his arm across my center line; then to back -- review this. Also, there's a sweep here -- do i grab his pants at knee??

Making a little progress: taking them a little longer to pass my guard.

Sitting in Guard: Maintain Posture. Frame against his belt. If posture broken, work my way back up, little by little.
