Tech: 4 Chokes.
Sneaky Choke 1: From Bottom Side -- Standard arm on shoulder like you're going to frame; bridge and get other gi grip for choke (which is usually the first grip in a palm up, palm down choke); bring him back down and finish choke.

Sneaky Choke 2: From Guard, off a failed Scissor Sweep, keep the collar grip, sit up and reach for his belt on his back and pull up as tighten the collar grip toward the ceiling.

Choke 3: Baseball choke off Knee on Belly.

Choke 4: He goes for double leg, label choke (usually seen in choke from Back); same grips and sprawl. Need to be heavy on him and rest my weight on him.

Izzy Blue - americana from mount and that baseball choke i think. I was defending the cross face and he waited for me to bridge and got his grip under and finished.

2 taps: Total: 116.

Good: Guard/Pass Guard drills -- only got passed a couple times; didn't pass anyone but only got swept once. I even swept Izzy Blue when he stood up, but I was so shocked that I scrambled too slowly and he came up on my side for the pass. And rolling with Ryan Blue -- defended the whole time but didn't get submitted; defended the Back well enough but still couldn't quite escape. But I was moving alot from Back to Turtle to Back to Mount so he couldn't get comfortable to finish anything.

Need to work on:
*Side ESC.
*Back ESC
*Mount ESC -- especially shrimping back to get him back to low Mount.
*Bridge Series from Guard - didn't try any of this.
*Scissor Sweep & Reverse Sweep.
*Butterfly Sweep.
*General: 1. Keep Moving; 2. Be Heavy (especially transitioning, and when I'm resting, rest on him).

Add to Drills: Bump Sweep (esp. non-favorite side). So the drills on non-class days look like this.
1. shrimp x 20
2. sit outs x 20
3. Guard Control / circle x 20
4. Bump sweep.

Might need to replace the sit outs with something else in about a week.
