Taps 476

Taps: 3. Total: 476.

Tech. 1 - Sit up Guard Pass.
1. With right foot in middle, right hand grips behind, neck collar; left hand on his left knee.
2. Pressure forward with my right leg, then lift out to outside his hip as I backstep with left leg, and come down in Side Control for the pass.

Tech. 2 - Choke when he shoots in.
1. Thinking about it, this is the same Basic Collar Choke from the Back, except I do it from top of facing Turtle or when he shoots in.
2. Left hand gets underhook and feeds near collar to my right hand, which is under his neck, get deep first grip, thumb out, palm up.
3. Left hand grabs far collar and pulls down as right hand goes up for the finish.

Misc -- Rolling with Black Chris (and I always roll with him when I get a chance. How often do you get to roll with a Black Belt?), I figured out a little, little bit of his game. He plays sit up or on his back then the sweeps and gets on top. From top, he uses pressure and weight to wear you out, then finishes with a sub because a sub is much easier to finish when the guy is tired from all that weight and pressure.

A little progress against Deep Half. Against Purple Phil, he tried DH and I kept low and somehow I ended up in Mount and worked the Roger choke and he Upa'd and rolled me (and thinking back, I forgot to keep my forehead on the mat above him). So I ended up in Guard but realized a second too late that I still had the grips and I could still choke him from Guard. And I tried but that second hesitation loosened my grips a bit, so no go.
