Taps: 980 and the Simi Open Mat 3

Taps: 11. Total: 980. 

The kid phenom I call Blue Sky only tapped me three times this round. That's down from six when I first met him and five the last time.

I also got to ask Blue Zach about that Kurt O's Side Choke with Gi. I searched and searched and could not find the tech online and I couldn't remember the second half of of it. But it's a sneaky setup. He told me Kurt showed it to him when he was up there and attended a class. There's no video, and maybe an one instance of Kurt pulling it off in some obscure comp footage.

In Side Control Top.
1. Cross face with my left hand under his neck. With my right hand, pull out his gi and wrap it under the far left armpit and pass it to my left hand.
2. Go North-South, and put my left arm in front of his neck, and drop weight down.
3. My right hand goes behind his neck, grab his gi and start moving slowly back to original Side Control for the finish.

I asked Blue Sky to show me the Knee Cut re-direct again with the Hand positions.
1. My right knee is caught; right hand on his gi or press down on his hip; left hand on outside of his other knee, grip there.
2. Stand back a little, straighten my right knee, then cut across his shin to the left, then move to the other direction -- to the right, like a leg drag.

Work On.
1. Roger's Cross Choke from Mount -- either I get rolled or I can't finish.
2. Half Bottom.
3. Half Pass - Fantasma.
4. X Guard.
5. Berimbolo Counters.
