Taps: 3. Total: 3611.
BB Chris ... Mount to S Mount to Omoplata with the double sleeve biceps ride.
Random Blue Jen trying her Worm Guard. Let her play. Blue Dae got me with simple Cross Choke. Let it go too far and too deep. He's got a good Reverse Half Bottom that he always gets me with. He gets Underhook and I naturally Back Step to Reverse Half and he wraps my gi up somehow and he has in past taken my Back but today he reversed and came up on top. Gotta ask him about that.
Also, should try Knee Ride Cross Collar on him. Did try it on Purple Wolfie but he wouldn't give me either the Pass or the Choke. Need to work on the Technique. No one gives me nothing.
Rolling with BB Mike. Man, the 5 minutes felt like 20. Being on bottom of his pressure sucked my soul out.
Rolling with Purple Wolfie ... got the Side Guard with the Magic Lapel Grip and dived under BUT could not get the Sweep. Need to Drill the Flower Motion. Drill Flower Motion. Swing Leg out and then Back.

3608 and Sunday Masters 2 Open Mat
Rolls: 8. Taps: 8. Total: 3608.
Wow. 20 days since last training session. Was in NYC. Walked right by Renzo's place.
Prof Tarca loves using that cross collar/Knee Cut threat off the Top Half Pass. And I tried to use it on Purple David. He gave me two good tips:
1. On that move, my Knee needs to put more pressure, especially over the CENTER of his belly.
2. On Side Control Top, go Cross Face and immediately to Knee of Belly.
Brown Javier had great Recovery from Turtle. Sleeve Control, Leg Lift, then turn into Guard. Need to practice that along with a million other things. He said to just practice positions when I roll. No Subs.
With Prof Tarca and Brown Wade kept getting caught in Basic Sweeps, ie. Overhook to Butterfly Sweep. Man, BB Chris always gets me with that, too.
Misc thoughts:
"Game within the Game" -- getting into my Game before they do. ie. Reverse Scissor Sweep -- I get my grips and I attempt the Sweep. They are now playing my Game because they need to defend or get swept.
Get into my Pass, so they need to start defending my Game. It's alot like Initiative in Chess. You're either ATTACKING or DEFENDING. I should be Attacking so I don't have to Defend.
Add to Toolbox:
Pass to Side to Choke, Luta Livre:
Along with Milton Viera, N. Reiner my fav LL guy.

Arm Drag Set up Thoughts
Been awhile. I've gone away from the Arm Drag. Time to bring it back.
Set up Thoughts:
1. Gift them the Left hand/Sleeve. Let them grab it.
2. Move my left hand (with theirs attached) ACROSS my body.
3. My right hand reaches for their trap/behind elbow for the DRAG.
Drill it to Kill it.

3600 and Masters 2 Open Mat
Rolls 6. Taps: 5. Total: 3600.
All taps to Straight Footlock. They seem to be my Achilles heel. ha ha.
Purple Ira taught be a couple of things.
1. Gray area of transitions: you can do whatever you want. There's no techniques there. Just chaos. Creativity. Or bullying with your weight. Like he does. Knee pin on my wrist or biceps, etc.
2. He's kills most Sit Up Guards. Knee forward and cross collar grip. Good balance and Pressure. But he says: a. Get the same side Lapel, wrap under and get it OUTSIDE the thigh. On other side -- that has more power. And get Shin to Shin.
His game is not pretty but very effective. I see him smashing and bullying all the other Purples and below.
Other things to work on or review:
1. Straight Footlock Counters.
2. Cross Choke from Mount.
3. Reverse Half Guard Sweep. The one from Sinistro Brown belt at Shoyoroll Open Mat. I can't remember the finish.
4. Black James showed a Kesa/Catch Barnett Sub ESC. Knee Up like the usual prevent to Mount from Side. That takes away the space for him to lift up and get pressure on the head for the Sub. Then push the head away or swing the leg over his head.
misc. with Purple David ... nearly got the Buchecha Rolling Armbar from Side. I should drill that.

3595 at Masters Open Mat
Rolls: 7. Taps: 4. Total: 3595.
Reverse Scissor/Butterfly Sweep on nearly everyone i rolled with. I can get it on everyone once. But that's it.
Brown belt got me with a DLR to Back. Twice, so it must be legit. Asked him to show it to me after.
*i. Standard grips for DLR, pull in and to the right and make the guy post on mat to the right.
ii. Shin to shin with right leg and kick out to take Back.
Prof. Tarca Half Pass with the cross collar, threaten choke to get to Mount. Saw Purple Ira doing it to other Purple. Then Prof. did it to me. I think I saw Lo vid on it before.
Prof. Tarca also was showing a Side Control Cross face to chest pressure on the near arm/armpit to Armbar.
Finally, tried Hitchhiker. Escaped a couple of times. Got caught once.
Keep working Leite Dive Under Half Sweep.
Random Big Purple kept trying an Armbar on me with strength, not technique or finesse. Doesn't know that I have good defense for it. He kept coming back to it, tried SEVEN times, and I kept thinking, "You, Sir, ARE NOT GETTING My ARM!" And he didn't.

3591 at Sat. Breakfast Club
6 Rolls. 4 Taps: Total: 3591.
Brown Grossi ran the class. No techs. Just positional sparring drills. Then Open mat.
Didn't get a chance to try to K. Brown's secret grip from inside Guard and Closed Guard one.
No luck with Giggler ... when i get the base hand trapped, I tried to sweep a little to soon and the Big Blue Heavy based with other hand.
Work on:
1. Granby Roll -- Side ESC and Guard Recovery.
2. Hitchhiker ESC ... don't be scared homie.
Thoughts on starting roll: Always used to sit on my butt (a la Marcelo) and i think Kesting recc it. But recently seeing Lil Tony roll and I switched to his style of kneeling and going for Underhook/Overhook Butterfly game.
Change of pace.
