Nice Words, Nice boost

Taps: 3. Total: 411.

Sometimes, I need a class like this to keep me going. Damn good good rolling, even though I'm defending most of the time.

Tech. - Review of the Omoplata Attack series, with one new add on.
Var. 1 - If he sits up a little, then get perpendicular, figure 4 my leg and get foot under his chin, scoot back and stretch out and pressure his shoulder for the tap.

Need to Review: Half Guard Bottom.


Rolling Notes: 


Got some nice words from Big Bad White Dem, who's 6'3 or 4 and must have about 100 or so pounds on me. Even though he's a White Belt, he's tapped me a few times. A lot of guys are afraid to roll with him because he's big and strong and he looks very scary. In reality, he's a super nice guy. After our roll, he said he likes rolling with me because "you don't look very tough but you are." And that I "roll very differently than others."

Brown Vince then said to him that I don't tap and I said I tap all the time, but he amended to that I "don't quit", is what the really meant. And I'm on a cloud of good feelings.

I try to face my fears and roll with everyone that I'm scared of, and that if I can survive Big Bad Dem, then I can survive most anything or anyone.

One other "aha" moment: I've heard to chaining attacks, and flowing from one move to the next, but I just realized that I need to do that for my defenses. I need to chain my defenses. Instead of escaping one attack, then let them settle into next position/attack, I need to be countering the next attack quicker.
