   b. Left (threatened hand) grabs my left inner thigh
   c. Link my hands, trap over his elbow.
   d. Bridge up, then to left for the roll.

Rolling etc.
First class as a Blue. Pretty crappy. The holiday layoff and rust showed, and the night session new faces didn't help. Spazzy White who said he was coming back from two month layoff went pretty hard during a "warm-up" roll, and when I realized he was going for a wristlock from Back Attack, I had no hesitation, no problem tapping to him. There was still an hour and half of class left but he was done.

Just real herky-jerky, no fluidity to my movements or intentions. On top of which, got kneed in the head and got a knee to the eye from the muscley White who is now a Blue like me. He was the same when he was a White, trying to muscle that damn armbar from Mount. He subbed me once with it and has been trying to muscle it ever since.

One bright spot, I pulled the move from the knees that's turning into one of my favorites -- Fake Guard Pull to a Scissor Sweep.
