Taps: 729 - No Excuses, No Ego

Taps: 3. Total: 729.

Tech - Open Guard Sweeps. 
A. Ankle Grab.
   1. from Double sleeve, my right hand goes to his left angle and grabs; right leg on his left hip, left leg hooks inside low on his right leg.
   2. Push into his hip with my right leg and he should fall and I come up on top.

B. var. He steps back.
  1. If he steps back and out of my left leg hook, then I switch my sleeve grip from his right hand to his left.
  2. Switch legs on his hip, so my left leg on his left hip and push into him with that leg as my right leg swings down low and reaps his right leg.

C. Omoplata option.
  1. stretch him then go for the omo.

No excuses -- the mind goes to the Excuses room so easily. Haven't trained in awhile. I'm hurt. He's bigger. It's so much BS.

I'm going to try this new mindset -- "no excuses, no ego."

Rolling with a Brown, about my size and weight and he's doing all kinds of 50-50, and berimibolo crap and I wasn't too fussed because I really don't want to learn that stuff now. When I'm annoyed enough then maybe ... but right now, as a one-stripe Blue, I'm going to keep focusing on Escapes, Passing, Closed Guard sweeps, Half Guard and maintaining positions and setups for Subs.
