Three Week Break

Man, I missed class. After three weeks off, I was sllooooow.

Chris the Purple, who's usually injured, got to my back so easily with an arm drag, three times in row from the starting knee position. Arm bar, arm bar, tap tap. Total taps: 60. Then something else I can't remember. Tap.

Ryan the blue. tap tap. Izzy tap tap. then Ryan again. Tap, after a long roll.

Need to review: 1. Back Escapes; 2. Turtle Escapes; 3. Side Escapes; 4. Half Guard Bottom; 5. Half Guard Passes.

Total taps: 65.

On a side note: They opened a Gracie Barra in my town. If they didn't make you buy their gi and if they didn't make you come twice a week, I'd be there. But they are just not that flexible for me. And the guys are really cool at my current school, so I'll stick with it even though it's much farther.
