BrB Mike - bunch of details to tighten up my game.
1. I'm too tense and grippy. Gripping too hard and with too much tension. RELAX.
2. X Pass - elbow down to mat / get ready to change directions.
3. Inside Closed Guard - square up. Cage the hips. Elbow on outside to help with keeping his hips corralled.
4. Breaking Spider Guard grips -- he needs the tension to keep the grip, so put a knee under his thigh to relieve the tension enough to break grips.


Bonus Sub -- Side top, Kimura grip to magic grip Choke.
 a. sit him up, lean in with my chest, and my right hand gets in front of his free hand.
 b. my right leg corrals his hand, then switches over to my left leg.
 c. collar grip, thumb in, and lean down and away from his toward the left to get space to get my right leg over his head -- finish the Choke.

* Success - Side Guard Sweep that BB Joel showed last Sunday. Pulled that off a couple of times. Key details: getting his elbow stuck under my chest and getting up on my elbow really made a difference.

Pretty pathetic. Sit up Guard to getting Passed. Stuck under Side. And Tapping. Sucks.

Should at least Pull Guard from Knees and practice High Guard. That would have been productive.

Black Chris - reminder on Back ESC ... hold my own gi collars so he get get grips. Tuck elbows. Fall at ankle not just to the side. Get my back on the mat and control that top leg so he doesn't transition to Mount. Could use some more drills on that.
