Taps: 14. Purple Iz got me with a Side Control choke where he steps over my head; Black Chris got me about 10 times and all real slow, flow roll, catch and release subs; KC Blue - first time I've rolled with him, muscled a lot of stuff, got me with armbar from Guard, keylock, belly down arm bar.

Really liked rolling with Black Chris because it was kind of mellow and I could see and feel the high level of BJJ.

Tech 1 - Standing Guard Break/Pass -- it's T. Dan's/Roger's Standing Pass.

Good timing because there's a couple of key details I was forgetting: 1. When I stand, I need to pull up on his sleeve and stack him on his neck and be head to head to him. 2. When I go single leg under, drop weight down right away, then get collar grip.

Tech. 2 - Continuation of Standing Pass - into Side Control then Keylock.

1. in SC: under neck and arm control; he tries to put arm against my neck, since I have on hand under already, use other to grab at wrist and put to mat and figure four.

2. Key: my under hand pulls down and up.

3. Emily Kwok tip: top hand on wrist does a twist a la motorcycle rev twist down towards mat, makes the sub tight.

Bonus Tech: More Self-Defense than BJJ: if guy his chokes you inside your Guard/Double Armbar.

1. My right hand over his right elbow; left hand over his left elbow and lock it down.

2. Swing legs high over his shoulders and get high Guard.

3. Close Guard if I can; pinch knees in together to lock in his head and his arms; lift hips for Double Armbar.

Need to Review:

1. Side ESC

2. Kesa ESC

3. Armbar from Guard counters - esp. RNC grab.

Keep in Mind and Practice:

1. Saulo's Scissor Var.

2. Xande Sweep.

3. Robson Loop Choke
