Ok, most of the taps were from rolling with my buddy Purp Webb and I've got some back story about why his Leglock game has gotten to a whole new level. We rolled 6 or 7 times, most of them lasting under a minute as he caught me in a Heel Hook or Knee Bar or his old standby Reverse Triangle.

So apparently he has a good buddy who's a Black Belt and trains at Renzo's in NYC. Last time he was back East he trained at Renzo's and his buddy set up Privates with Danaher, like 6 or 7 of them. And helping Danaher was Eddie Cummings and Gary Tonon. No wonder.

And this is the same guy who goes down to San Diego and trains at Atos and M. Liera and Oregon for a week with Roy Dean.

My only two small moments of almost glory during all the roll with him: 1. nearly Ezekiel from Closed Guard (yay borrowing from Judo); 2. nearly Capazzi N/S Guillotine (didn't have my chin in center of his chest, didn't scoot down and didn't adjust my lat against side of his face).

Other notes rolling with strong White Belt ... Half Guard Leite Sweep to top Half and Pass to Side and Roger MO to Mount bait Kimura ... then Glen's Judo Kimura Break (didn't work: he was holding on to his gi low not the belt); went to Magic grip and choke but he reached up against the Magic grip and defended choke; grabbed my leg for Single, made him pay with Crucifix set up and he defended as time ran out.

From Kimura, I should just step over and try Armbar and Leite Arm break from there and see what happens.

Drill: Invert Guard Recovery x 100 / Glen's Armbar Fake to Sweep.
