Class, Sept. 3, 2011.

Tech. 1 -- Cross Guard set up.
1. Set up from Butterfly. Fall back, lift him with with both hooks.
2. Underhook his ankle, get my head near that leg as
3. R. Leg across his hip with knee in between and under; L. Leg under his leg in the Cross position.

Tech. 2 - Sweep from there.
1. Grab his far posting arm.
2. Push with R. Leg, as R. arm pulls up on his ankle.

Taps: 9. Total: 189. That's more like it. If I'm not tappin', I'm not learning. Purple I haven't seen before, tapped me really quickly. Like three times in a minute. But he was nice about it. Muscled the finish a little.

A Blue was another very efficient in tapping me out. Not unfriendly, just very business-like. But at least I saw how to do Half Guard properly. He didn't get me get cross face and he kept me at a distance with his knee.

Review:
1. Side Escapes.
2. Half Guard
3. Half Guard Passes.
