Taps: 8. Total: 243. Two of those taps were to a lower belt. Now I get some of my own medicine. I've never tapped a higher belt, but I've come close, and I've given them a hard time usually. And I would puff up with pride and feel all good about myself. Now I know how it feels. I've tapped to a lower belt before, but twice in one roll?? And to a no stripe White? Man, it shouldn't bother me, but it did for a bit. But I need to keep putting myself in those situations so I keep working on them, no matter what the color of their belt.
The one bright spot was that I got One Kesa Escape off my 100 project.
Tech. -- Black Chris showed some series and combos (all Guard Attacks) and he went really fast. Hope I got them all.
Tech. 1 -- Arm bar/Omoplata/Triangle.
1. Double sleeve/wrist control, attack right arm for arm bar.
2. He pulls arm out, Omo the left arm.
3. He postures out of that, swing back with him for Triangle.
Tech 2 -- Flower Sweep/Triangle/Sweep.
1. Cross sleeve grip, left on his left. Right hand grips pants at his knee; right leg swings under his armpit for the sweep.
2. He bases out with is right hand on mat, swing around for the Triangle.
3. He postures up, swing my clamped legs left, then right for the Sweep.
Work On:
1. Triangle defense: tried the R. Hall defense but can't quite get it to work. Might just stick with the Robson.
2. RNC defense.
3. Back Escapes.
Also, had a problem securing Half Guard, where I'm almost there, and he pushes my free forward knee with his hand, and tries to re-Guard or really prevents me from settling into Half. I tried lifting his hand with my hand, but it was just hand strength vs. hand strength. Possible solution: 1. flatten him; 2. drive the trapped knee through.
