3371

Taps: 6. Total: 3371.

Black Chris -- Single Leg vs Cross Collar Grip:

1. Guy has cross collar grip on me. I get cross grip on that, and step in and to the side. Left hand around his waist.
2. Head inside, push on his chest/belly, push him back. Grab Single Leg.
3. Trap leg/pinch leg with both legs. Transition to under his Ankle. Lift.

Finish: I like Black Vince's Twist/Jerk around of the Knee.

Bonus: Half Guard Lockdown Counter, as he goes under the thigh. ... CROSS FACE and sprawl that leg out.

** Got caught in Bellydown Armbar twice. The first one, I rolled. Am I not doing that right??? Second time, using Saulo's kimura grip and I could not complete the escape. Need to let go, keep pushing on his leg and get on top of his legs.

Nice Turtle Flip from Purple Eduardo. Right hand grips collar at back of neck, other hand belt grip above his butt. Left leg up on the left side of his body as I fall that way, pull him down on me and get Back Take.

Got the Leite roll. Working the Closed Guard on guy's left arm, two on one and hip out to Side Guard.

Working on Giggler/J. Wayne. Slowly, getting into Open Guard with Sean Roberts' Sweep. Lasso to Hook under Knee Sweep.

Was practice the Lasso movement with my belt and Purple Josh let me practice on me and gave me good details ... 1. Get on my side, my right butt cheek to get left Lasso.
                         2. Get it deep, then straighten, square up again as I keep it DEEP/far into his armpit.

3354

Taps: 3. Total: 3354.

Four Black Belts in the house. Lots of Blue and Purple. Just one Brown and White.

Black Albert: Over/Under Pass with Knee up and twist.
 var. if he grabs a wrist, rock back and forth is hips and toss aside.

Helped a couple of Blues: Eddie - getting arm across center line, hipping up and out. And all that you can do from there.

Other Blue: Leite's Half game: Underhook, knee trap, and option 1: push over sweep; 2. come out back; 3. if he Whizzers, push and dive under and sweep the other way.

Purple Pierre Nightmare - still killing me in Side Control and Kesa. Brown Steve keeps Spider Scissor sweeping me to mount and getting high mount and killing me.

Look at:
1. Roussey's Roll Over Armbar. Which hand?
2. Spider Web Armbar. / Corkscrew to Filho.

3351

Taps: 7. Total: 3351.

Black Mike - Kimura grip (top), switch grip.
 a. Right hand goes under his arm, left grips back of his elbow.
 b. Left leg under his head, right leg swings over, connects right toe to left knee.
 c. Roll over my right shoulder, pressing down with left leg on his neck. He rolls with me.
 d. Finishes: 1. Bicep slicer; 2. Triangle; 3. Armbar.

I couldn't finish the bicep slicer. Funny. Later, rolling three other people tried this move of the day. No one could finish. Even Black Mike, who showed the move. I just knew it was coming and rolled the other way.

Collar break tip: Push down with both hands, instead of against the strength grip.

Reminder: Kesa Esc -- kept going the wrong way. Go left and when he follows, THEN get hip under and roll him. This is mainly against big Purple Pierre the Nightmare: Go left, try leg over his head. If he follows, get under, bridge his head to mat, then roll the original left.

Also, I can break his posture in Closed Guard, but that's it. He keeps getting it back and I get tired and he passes. Since none of my breaking Post-breaking posture techs are working. I need to try: BUMP sweep when he comes back up. All the variations: over elbow, armdrag, over shoulder.

Work on:
 Giggler Sweep.
 Turtle attack - Lockdown to Back
 Quarter Guard - ninja roll.

 B. Can't get it, THEN ... non-hook leg goes under the hook and come up, drive knee/push him over.

 * counter control - rather than going under and grabbing his wrist, grab his hand (four fingers except his thumb), pull out.

D. Turtle (top) - my right leg goes between his legs, scoop out his left leg. Right leg goes in as hook, triangle my legs under him than Lockdown his leg. Shrimp back, get Seatbelt and release Lockdown and get right leg on his hip, then hook in.
