Taps 958 and Simi Valley Open Mat 2

Taps: 10. Total: 958.

So the Kid, Blue Sky, I call him. He's same rank as me (Blue, three Stripes), but he's a freak. I saw him tap higher belts like it was nothing. He's got a super tight all-around game. Good guard, good passing, and excellent subs from the Back.

Last time, he subbed me six times in one row. This time, only 5, like I predicted. And each time, I will get closer and closer to not getting subbed at all.

He also had a sweet, Shin Cut re-direct move, kind of like this vid.


Unlike the vid, he showed it to me a little higher, with the opponents legs both still up, and not smashed down. I am definitely drilling this.

Then there was Blue Zach. He got me with a Baseball Choke from Side Control with Lapel, and it was a nice setup that I've not seen before. He said it was a Kurt O. special and I have not been able to find it. Need to ask him to show it to me again or send me a link. Basically, from Side, use opp's label and grab with my hand (can't remember which), move almost N/S, then come back for the finish. I think the second hand goes behind his head.

Lastly, KoB Basic ESC I saw. Grab under his knee, grab his belt at back, while I trap his ankle. Other hand grabs his collar at the chest, bridge and sweep.

Misc -- Cross Collar Choke Basics from Rylan Lizares. Couple of notes.
1. Hand placement - first hand under, second over, then over grip; under then under grip.
2. Head - down on the mat side of the top hand.
