Taps: 5. Total: 3301.
Blk Mike ran some Passing Drills, then onto Free training.
I tried Roy's Half Pass and the Step Over Choke.
Could not finish:
1. Step over.
2. Marcelo's RNC from Side to Turtle control.
3. Drac Triangle.
Work on: Closed Guard - Lapel Flower Sweep and Octopus Guard and BQ Drag Bump Sweep.
And a solid Pass.
Also, Pur Doyle pulled off a nice Side ESC on me: Sit up with hand on hip, hand on chest collar push, and kicking up and down. Need to remember.

Taps 3296 - Simi Turkey Day Roll Open Mat
Taps: 9. Total: 3296.
Prp Sky told me: 1. Stand to Pass; 2. Don't press in so close in my Pass. Which is the same thing Brn Mike told me. Need to vary my pressure, not be so predictable. That's why Sky kept catching my in Omoplata after Omoplata. And he kept on finishing with a wristlock as he had me in the Omo position.
Blk Kenny B kept getting me in Omo, too. He chose not to finish and kept sweeping me with it and catch/releasing/letting me roll out on the other side.
Random Blue Guy/Adam with long legs tapped me a couple times with a Triangle. Live and learn. Don't get lazy on defense. Don't underestimate the other guy.
Blk Marco was showing a nice Single X push sweep, when you can't get the second leg in for the X Guard. Second leg goes on the outside of guy's leg and push on thigh/knee.
Need to drill a few stuff from Roy Dean's Semi-Private... Half Pass and the Side to Swivel Armbar.

Part 2: Saturday - Roy Dean Semi-Private
Just me and three others: Brn Chris, PB Web (who is friends with Roy and organized it), WB Mel.
1. Half Guard Pass - Elbow Block.
a. Right hand on his bicep, that elbow on the mat pinning his left arm - which usually will come up and seek the underhook. The Elbow block keeps it pinned to the mat and him flat on mat.
b. the rest is the same ... Knee Slide for the Pass. But he is now all Twisted up.
2. KoB Chain.
A. Collar grip behind his neck - straighten, extend my hand to Crossface. Knee on Belly and when his pushes on my knee, GRAB at the ELBOW and pull up to my chest, get him up and on his side. Elbow Lift. And into Switch Armbar. Left hand on mat, switch/swivel.
var. Can't pull at Elbow -- pull Tricep/shoulder into me, my ELBOW digging high on his Chest/Sternum ... Left hand reaches, gets knee gi grip, step over DEEP by his waist and turn and sit into Switch Armbar ... as I'm sitting down SLIDE my hand along his arm to get to his wrist.
3. Armbar Breaks - his head at 9 O'clock, feet 3 O'clock, attacking his Right Arm, my feet facing 12 O'clock.
A. Wrist Grap
i. My left hand gets under his right arm, and reaches as far as I can to my right waist, creating Tension.
ii. Right hand underhooks his right leg as I fall to the right, which lets him come up.
iii. My right hand grabs his left wrist to separate his hands for the Finish.
B. Knee Tilt
i. If I can't reach his wrist, my left leg makes a Z, knee pointing to the right, feet to the left, under his neck, chest, PUSH on neck, SCRAPE against his top chest ... that will get the BREAK.
4. Step Over Choke (from Side Control)
i. Brabo gi grip with left hand under his head.
ii. come up KoB with right knee briefly, then slide across his chest and over his arm, pinning his right arm.
iii. Take big step over his head with the left foot, then inch with the foot against his head/ear.
iv. FINISH: foot against his head and straighten Brabo, turn in the wrist.
Counter 1: Blocks the step over and pushes away ... let him push and extend his hand ... my Brabo grip hand catches his wrist and puts it all the way back for Kimura. If he straightens out of Kimura, pull his triceps and var. ARMBAR above.
Counter 2: Pushes step over leg ... bring that hand across, reach deep with Brabo grip hand ... get to other side for ONE-HANDED ARM TRIANGLE ... get pressure HIGH on his chest. Also, if he Telephone Defends, pull wrist for WRISTLOCK.
5. Bow and Arrow Choke (from the Back)
i. Left hand opens left side collar, feeds to the Right. Does not have to be deep, chest level. Right hand grip twists in, with THUMB DOWN against chest, all other fingers going away from his body.
ii. Left hand grips at the knee.
iii. Left ELBOW FALLS to the left on the MAT -- that gives me space to swivel and get my right leg over his shoulder to lock legs and finish.
** to Make it even TIGHTER ... shrimp out, press/push my right knee against his shoulder instead of locking my legs together; ALSO, I can press my right knee behind his back and PRESS.
6. Mount into Bow and Arrow Choke
i. Drag arm across, chest pressure to get S Mount.
ii. Left hand gets collar choke grip.
iii. Can finish from top by straightening, extending choke grip or can go to regular Bow and Arrow, grabbing pants grip, lean back etc.
7. Closed Guard Passes
LOW PASS - i. right hand headlocks, left hand controls right tricep;
ii. sprawl to the left, then Kesa right leg under left.
iii. Left leg HOOKS his leg to stretch him, my right leg slides through for the Pass.
KNEE PINCH
i. When I feel him opening his guard a little, right hand grabs pants grip, PALM DOWN, staples his leg to the mat.
ii. Step over that leg, PINCH MY KNEES over his KNEE tight, and keep my LEFT LEG UP, to prevent his locking up Half Guard.
iii. Right knee presses inward, left leg steps out, right leg presses into this hip for the PASS.
** if he locks in Half Guard, press right knee in, Windshield my left leg over his and get the PASS.

BB Chris - Knee Slice Pass.
a. Right hand grips near collar grip, elbow down to prevent UNDERHOOK.
b. Left hand picks up his near hand, gets him flat.
PB Wolfie - Armbar Break ... climb the ladder, hand under hand til I get to his wrist.
BB Len - Need help with my top Side Control. I can kill the near arm, but if/when they get their arm back, I'm lost and they usually escape. Need to go to my next move.
Also, he said Don't leave my arm hanging out there.
There's only 3 places my hands should be: 1. Prayer positon; 2. Framing shoulder; 3. on his hips.
Framing shoulders ... Shrimp and get knee in.
Postion Drills - practicing that Knee Slice, but I got lots of practice on my Leite Half Guard. Sweet.
Onto my Part Two of BJJ Saturday.

BB Vince - Closed Guard Lapel Flower Sweep.
a. gi tail wraps over his back, break posture.
b. as he posts on my chest to push back, get his right arm across center line.
c. my right hand dives under his left thigh, and get my HEAD perpendicular.
d. open legs: right leg under his arm pit, left leg swings out to the left then back into him for the sweep.
var. -- if he posts his right leg up to prevent the sweep, switch to Armbar.
II. Turtle escapes N/S. Peak head out, sit down/out. Grab leg with outside hand for the single.
Half Tails Sweep -- getting it more but higher belts have been able to spin and recover. I end up Half Top or even Side Top, but they are able to square up to me.
Good to see my buddy Purple Webb back from injury. He kicked my ass as usual, but not as efficiently as before because he's rusty and his timing's off a little. Still he got me with a Kneebar, heel hook, and Twister.
He also showed my a Side Turtle to Crucifix hack/shortcut that Baret Yoshida showed him. Starts just like the Marcelo vid with side Turtle and Seatbelt grip, but whereas MG uses front leg to scoop in his arm and traps it with both legs and goes for RNC, and Aesopian rolls over the guy's back to other side to Crucifix ... Baret's shortcut is to use front foot and just LAY IT over the guys wrist and lay down into the Crucifix position.

BB Chris - Closed Guard Scissor Sweep to Mount Cross Choke.
* Choke details: first grip DEEP; connecting thumbs behind his neck.
BrB Izzy and BrB Chris smashing me in Side Control by crushing on my far arm/elbow. BrB Chris showed me how, with chest pressure on back of his elbow, let him turn and got to modified Mount and Giftwrap.
I've been focusing on killing the near arm. Didn't think of killing the far arm/elbow. It's pretty demoralizing.
Closed Guard
1. Braulio Posture Break - success.
2. Drac Triangle - getting to close to High Guard. Stuck there.
3. BQ arm drag - no luck.
Half Guard - review Leite's counter to Knee Slice. Got Knee Sliced a lot today.

Keep working: Leite Half. Even getting the roll under sweep.

Feeling lazy, not feeling it, not wanting to go to class. Wanting to just sit there and watch jits videos on YT. Then finally realizing I could always do that, but I can't train all the time. So the choice was easy. Go Train. And once again, glad that I did.
BB Chris - I. Side Control to S-Mount Armbars.
a. kill the near arm
II. Mount to Arm Transfer, S-Mount Armbar. or Switch Armbar.
Side Control Top -- all I'm concentrating on is: 1. Cross face; 2. Killing the near arm -- scooting down on his hips, getting him on his side and creating room under his near elbow and THAT's where I get my knee in to kill his near arm. (with White Belts, I could slide my knee down his body, then back up and wedge in between his elbow and open it up and get it that way.)
** From there: I could either Mount or go for Triangle or Baseball Lapel Choke.
Drill:
1. Twitch Pass
2. Harpoon Roll.
3. Braulio Armbar

BB Chris - Deep Half to Double knee in Sweep.
Brn Izz - Deep Half Leg Lift Sweep.
BlB Morgan kept getting me with that Leg Lift Sweep. Izz said I should counter with Kimura. Also, Brn Chris showed how tricky Deep Half is: top guy sits down -- roll into him for the Sweep; top guy leans forward a little -- come out the back.
Also, PB Jason said to keep my right hand back in Half Guard and Sit Up Guard. Keep it back and out of the way.
Braulio Posture Break works like a charm ... need to remember to: knee on hip, push/fold in his elbow as I pinch in with the knee and High Guard.
Side Control ESC 11.15
1. Harpoon
2. Elbow Push
3. Sit Up and hook in
4. Knee in Re-Guard.
