Birthday training, Jan 26, 2012.

All I got for my birthday is a key chain with a picture of my two girls and three taps. I'm a lucky, lucky guy.

Total taps: 319.


Tech 1 - Takedown/Judo Throw to Elbow Lock.
1. Start with standard grips, my left hand under his elbow sleeve; right hand on same side collar.
2. My left hand shoots up towards the sky, breaks his grip, gets overhook, and my elbow traps his arm near my armpit.
3. At the same time, I shoot to his right, my right hand pummels and gets underhook and grips his waist or his belt and I'm facing his hip, my legs on either side of his hip and crouching, squatting and my shoulder into his body.
4. Swing my right leg in front of him, get my hip on the outside of his hip and lift him with my hip and throw down.
5. My right knee comes down on his chest in KoB position and my left hand still has his right arm trapped, which I Kimura grip at the elbow and I arch back for the Elbow Lock.

Tech 2 - Takedown/Sit Down
1. Same set up as above to the first three steps.
2. He is trying to move away and I follow, then my right foot blocks his back leg and I pull down on his belt as I sit down.
3. He falls back and I scissor my legs and come up in Side Control.

Rolling Notes - Fail.
1. From Knees - couldn't pull of f anything.
2. Sit out from Turtle.
3. Side Armbar escape.
4. Half Guard sweeps and getting out of Reverse Half Guard.
5. X Guard - couldn't get into the set up at all.

Almost Pulled Off
1. Mendes Deep Half to the Back - had my grips on his pants, but I don't think I rolled over the correct shoulder.
2. Monkey Guard - had his arm around his head but he was able to get his head out. (I remembered to go High Guard but I didn't hip out and get to the side.
3. Side Control Top - I keep forgetting SHOULDER PRESSURE.

Success
1. Hip Bump.
2. Side Escapes x 3 - came belly down, up to knees to Turtle.
3. Turtle to Guard - controlling a knee and sitting back to Guard.
