Still 536 Taps

Taps: 0. Total: 536. 

** did not free train. Just drilled positions and escapes.

Tech. 1 - Armbar ESC (from inside Closed Guard).
1. Rnc your trapped arm.
2. Stack him by coming up on both toes.
3. Get your arm out and put his legs to mat and pass.

Tech. 2 - Triangle ESC early - Posture up.

Tech 3 - Triangle ESC late
1. Get that knee to the mat.
2. Switch hips, get leg over his head and lock in behind his head.
3. Stretch him to break grip, back step, come up in Side.

Tech. 4 - Armbar Esc (bottom of Side).
1. Rnc arm that's attacked, other hand under his top leg.
2. When he rests, use non-attacked arm to push his bottom leg between mine for Half Guard.
3. Go back to my arm position, then hip out and get my arm/elbow to mat, get arm out.
4. Go double under and come up for the pass.

During drilling positions, I was getting swept alot and getting passed a lot - what else is new, but I felt clueless about Open Guard, what to do, etc, and asked Black Chris and he gave me the basic principles, pointers to play with.

Open Guard:
Pointer 1 - don't let him control your knee. Break grips.
P2 - Get sleeve grips.
P3 - there's the 6 points of Contact - Make sure I have at least 2 with the feet.
 a. 6 points of contact - opp's 2 biceps, 2 hips, hook behind his knees.
P4 - Have my foot on his hip, the way he's moving,  trying to Pass.

Drilling - Back ESC - had better luck with Jordan's Hook and Jump ESC than Wolverine's Walk. Need to review both.
