Taps: 1080

Taps: 4. Total: 1080.

Black Joel. Self-Defense ... punch block right hook with left "phone" elbow point; 2.
get in close to double unders; 3. get left leg, deep between his legs, knee in on this thigh, posture break; 4. twist my body and look away for the Takedown.

Then Joel put on gloves and threw punches at us as we tried the takedowns. Just never get that kind of practice. Pretty cool.

Basic Half Guard ... get frames, under his chin and onto his shoulder or collar grip; other hand frames on his bicep; get my knee in.
 * from there, Kimura. 
 ** Defends by grabbing his belt or pants ... open my legs, bait the Pass and Hot Dog Roll Kimura.

Basic Closed Guard series drill.
1. Hip Bump Sweep.
2. Kimura off the failed Hip Bump.
3. Guillotine off the failed Kimura.

I need to drill the timing of the Hip Bump. I think Andreh Anderson showed it, where you keep his Posture broken (either collar grip or no-gi grab behind his head/neck), then when he re-gains Posture ... BAM, then, that's when I go for the Hip Bump.

Random: Rolling with Purple Dan, I realized I'm way too even keeled and mellow. I was on top and then with a little burst, he escaped and kept going with his Aggressive energy. And I realized then that I'm never like that, and I need to be. I need to turn it up sometimes with a Burst of Aggression. To get out of a tough jam or to overcome and stabilize a position.

Well, something else to work on. Need to practice rolling HARD.
