Taps 471

Taps: 3.  Total: 471.

Tech. 1 - X Guard Sweep.
1. Open guard set up, and he steps to my right, and I hook that leg with my right hand, high under his knee.
2. Control his other sleeve, pull it into my right, and set up my X, right leg on his hip, knee under his crotch; other leg lower down on his leg.
3. Stretch him out and off-balance him as pull up with on his left leg and since I control his sleeve, he should roll over his shoulder, giving me the sweep, and I come up on KoB.

Tech. 2 - Same set up but he maintains balance when I stretch him, so go for Armbar.

Good class, and made me think that in the entire time I've been training at BJJ Club (which is over a year and a half), I've only had 3 BAD classes. And I think most of those bad classes were my fault. My ego and my unrealistic expectations... leading to injury or getting tapped by lower belt.

Even when I got a $60 parking ticket in front of the academy, I didn't even consider that a bad day of training.

Along those lines, I really really want to stay a Blue belt as long as possible. I have so much to work on. Like maybe 4 or 5 years. I want to go back to the beginning and start with Closed Guard, Passing Guard.

Focus:

  • Deep Half Counter. Man, I really hate the Deep Half. 
  • Machado Half Sweep
  • Half Tripod Pass.
