3549 and World Clan Open Mat - LA

Taps: 13. Total: 3549.

Rolled about 10 or 11 rounds of 5 min. Strict etiquette of not calling out Higher belts. Can only roll with same belt or lower.

In attendance: about 12 Blacks including Kenny from Simi, and Shoyoroll Bear, Sinistro. Also recognized the Routolo Twins from AOJ. About 50 people in all, including kids.

Open mat, techniques, open mat.

Tech 1: Shin to Shin Sit Up Guard with Lapel - he backsteps, pass lapel over to other hand around his waist, hook under his leg for the sweep.

Tech 2: Counter to above - back step, come back to Knee Cut.

Tech 3: Entangled leg, roll over and knock him down with pressure on his knee, into a footlock.

Rolled with mostly Purples, one Blue, one White, one Brown. Also, saw Purple Rick who used to train at my school. Trains with Sinistro now.

Some thoughts after rolling with random Monstrous Purple ... with wicked Closed Guard. Attacking my Right Arm ... if I underhooked, he Omoplata'd. After getting caught twice, I moved my arm to the inside and then got ARM Dragged. Damn.

Need to put that in my game. Defending ... I have a narrow place to put my hand and not get it across his centerline or else get arm dragged and into that whole Side Guard series. Too far forward and get Omoplata'd.

Good rolls.
