Taps: 1139 and Half Guard Bottom (Kesting)

Taps: 2. Total: 1139. 

Black Chris -- Closed Guard, Overhook series. Choke and Omoplata, and if he tries to posture up from Omo, then Triangle.

Tried to be nice with a new White. I think it was his 2nd or 3rd Class. Let him start on top of Mount. I got Half Guard easily, but then got stuck there as he squeezed and squeezed and I forgot all my Half Guard moves. I got a little relief from Lockdown but couldn't progress from there. Completely forgot about getting Underhook or getting on my side. Felt pretty stupid.

At the same time, it's good to learn these lessons, and that's why I should roll with brand new White belts more often. They are instinctual and will do unorthodox things.

This clothesline Half Guard Sweep is what I should have been doing.
Homework - watch 5 times.



Also, the definitive, 3 combo Half Guard Bottom  moves from the man himself, S. Kesting. Read em and watch em. Especially his Old School and also Gordo's Old School.
