Tech 2 - Guard Pass with gi wrap under, to Side Control, then choke with gi wrap.
Cane Prevost talks about the fallacy of technique and he's right, oh so right. All the important stuff in BJJ starts with P. Posture, Pressure, Possibilities, Principles.
One Purple was showing another Purple a sub North-South Turtle, kind of a crank, guillotine type thing and they used me as uke. Then the low Purple asked if I wanted to try it, and I politely declined. At this point, I don't need any more technique or any more subs, since I barely pulled off the ones I do know.
I need to learn more Postures for each Position, more principles. So I worked Half Guard Bottom with Purple Steve. Really worked on preventing the cross face, but he said I needed to fight for the underhook on the other side.
So Half Guard -- same time, underhook and prevent cross face.
Rolled with Purple Dave, who's small, maybe my size and weight, maybe a little smaller. He always sweeps me with his Spider. I just could not pass his Guard. A little better success with Half Guard, almost got an Old School sweep, but when he got side control, not much room or space for me to try for underhook. At least I had a plan. I couldn't quite execute but I had a plan, so that's tiny teeny progress.
Earlier in positional drill, I got to work on my guard -- six of eight (all upper belts) just passed easily. They waited for me to try my Bump, my scissor or something as I opened my legs, then wrapped up up my knees and passed. I need to shrimp out, get my knees out. The other purple stayed in my guard, didn't really tried to pass, but just let me work and defended whatever I was throwing out at him. The other lower Blue I've bump swept him before and I did again, almost scissor and flowered swept but time ran out.
Taps: 3. Total: 192.
