Taps: 3. Total: 1198.
Only tapping to Blue Brian because the others were White. White Mike tweaked his Mike during warmups. He could only watch.
Drilled the Popovich Pass and Brian drilled the Kid P's Overhook series. Mad at myself for not attempting to use the Pass that I drilled.
Brian caught me in an armbar and I was stuck under there awhile because I was trying the escape holding my elbow. Couldn't escape because he had his legs crossed and I needed to stuff his left between mine. So eventually he broke my grip.
From Closed Guard, he uses the lapel for control a lot, which I was somehow able to neutralize, and his Overhook is dangerous, but we were just drilling that so I was able to wriggle out. Had more success when I stood up and opened his guard before he could get his Closed Guard game going. His Open Guard is tough also, but I was able to get Top Half and work the Graugart Pass from there.

Tech 1 - Lasso to Reverse DLR, sit up and Pass.
Tech 2 - Closed Guard, armdrag to giftwrap and push elbow for sweep.
Tech 3 - Basic Butterfly Sweep.
Tech 4 - Butterfly Pass, control leg and other hand under.
Black Joel keeps getting a Guillotine or sweep off it as I try to pass. Purple Chris keeps getting high Mount, then S Mount into his favorite giftwrap and Bow and Arrow.
Tried the cross grip Helicopter Sweep from Closed Guard - fail.
And Graugart's Half Pass - fail. My right hand gripping his knee gets taken off and I have no base and get swept. Also need to get my foot up near his butt to push his leg down.

Purple Ryan - Turtle Attack to Bow and Arrow (step over and roll); Clock Choke.
Black Chris - back to basics. Love the basics.
1. Armbar ESC inside Guard.
2. Armbar ESC from bottom Mount.
a. grab my gi and other hand grabs my elbow, hiding my knuckles; b. stuff his leg between mine; c. turn into him, shrimp and get hand under and come come in Double Unders.
3. Triangle ESC - get his knee down on mat, then move perpendicular, getting my hip near his, legs over his head, scissor his head, break his triangle, back step to come up in Side.
Purple Chris showed me a nice chain of Attacks from Mount. He gets me with it all the time. Mount to High Mount-Gift wrap-two on one-feed lapel for one of three chokes and an armbar. Cuz I asked how he gets the lapel, and during the giftwrap, he's got the collar right there, and once he gets it, there's the two chokes plus the Bow and Arrow.
Misc -- man, there's a goldmine of Portuguese Youtube videos.

Taps: 1190 and the First Nap
Taps: 7. Total: 1190.
Rolling with another Blue, and I'm passing his Half Guard and he's got a Loop Choke, and I pass and we reset as I feel dizzy and lightheaded. I felt that before, but usually after I tap and they let go, I've felt that few times before.
But this time, I felt dizzy and the next thing I know, I'm waking up from a nice nap, a little dream. Strange. First for everything.
Thinking about:
1. Roleta cross grip sweep.
2. Arm Triangle Sweep.
3. Mount Attack - under elbow control.
4. Side to Mount.
5. Terere Triangle.

Taps: 1183 and Tues. Apt. Training
Taps: 3. Total: 1183.
Blue Brian invited me to his Tuesday Apt. Sessions. It was him and three other White Belts. I missed the drilling at the beginning, which was what I was most interested in, but still got a few rolls in.
He's got a 10x10 Dollamar mat, so only two can roll at once. Nice to give Whites a few points of advice.
I still need to get more drills in. Need to get better balance on my Zach Choke, and fine tune my Henry's Gift Wrap Attack from S Mount.

Tech 1 - DLR to shin to Sweep.
a. Sit up and sleeve grip to under his leg; b. bring shin to shin; c. grab far pants grip and roll over.
Tech 2 - Side Control Esc/ Simple
a. prevent cross face w/ hand on bicep; b. as he goes over my head, get left hand grip his neck collar, my elbow against his armpit; c. scoot down and get him over my belly; d. upa, shrimp out and reGuard.
Tech 3 - Counter to that Side Esc.
a. don't put hand over his head; b. switch my base and hip; c. circle inside and then get to other side of his head, and work to get to Mount.
Graugart's Half Pass -- need to Back Step as he bridges for the reversal; the couple of times I forgot was when I got swept, but all the other times ... Success.
Reverse Scissor continues to be my money, and I get go to Butterfly Sweep from the same grips. But I forgot I can also do a Loop Choke, if he's not paying attention. I was reminded because I only got the Sweep because Blue was worried and defending the Loop Choke, which I got him with the last time I rolled with him.
So don't forget the Loop.

Funny. Black Vince goes over a couple of techs on my mind.
1. Scissor Sweep Armbar.
2. Side to Mount, just like the vid from Gordo.
And Blue Brian agreed to drill more with me. I'm going to pick a couple of techs each. A top tech (Passing) and a Guard tech.
Passing - Pablo tech; Guard - Flower Sweep.
Pretty high percentage with Graugart's Half Pass. I'm only going to use that from now on.

Black Chris showed a Mount Choke - set up like an Ezekiel but use my own gi tail. Get my head next to his to hide that I'm getting my gi out. Knee on Belly, then Side and then go North-South for the finish.
As usual hard time Passing Purple Phil and even Blue Brian. Brian kept Omoplata-ing me, then Mount and Mount Triangle. Sheet!
Gotta work on my Passing. Phil has I have to work on my balance, that I'm over-committing one way or other as I Pass and my hands are straight out and elbows week. Something else to work on.
