Taps: 3. Total 231.


Tech. 1: Scissor Sweep fail to armbar
1. Push top leg through, swing leg over for the armbar.

Funny, I was just reading about this very technique over at the Side Control blog yesterday.

For something different, we just rolled the whole time. An entire hour and a half of Open Mat. I rolled about four times. I'm a little annoyed I forgot to breathe during my second roll with Edgar the Two Stripe White.
Started with Brown Mike, Blue Ryan, Blue Dave? White Edgar, another Blue, Blue Peter, Edgar again. Did I really roll seven times? I think they were all three minute rounds. I was going to roll with everyone, but I'll try to get the ones I missed on Thursday.

White Edgar seeks me out and likes to roll with me because I'm his yardstick to measure his progress. And he can try a few things on me, not necesarily tap me but at least he can try. And he can see where he needs to tighten his technique, i.e. he had me in a triangle and couldn't finish. Some of the Blues have trouble with my triangle defense. He's getting better and better, and has a slick Guard replacement from Half Guard. Quite annoying that when I manage to get top Half Guard, he'll slip right back into Guard.And he kept me in Side Control pretty well by grabbing my near pants leg, preventing me from bridging or turning into or away from him. Need to look into that.

One other problem to solve: Wrestler's Sit Out. I can pull it off but I end in a scramble and I haven't been able to come out on top.
