17.1 First session of New Year: 3961

17.1 (52 weeks in year. let's see how many sessions I get in the books).

Taps: 1. Total: 3961 at the Sunday Confession, Masters 2 Open Mat (36 and up).

Brn No name (forgot his name) ... super nice guy. Good details and tips.
 -- Side Control: he said to just play, experiment with Pressure. I'll know when I have it right and heavy bc he'll want to move. Keep doing that to get info.
 I've just been practicing killing near arm, trying to get under there with my knee and connecting elbow to knee on my way to Triangle. Not much luck swinging my leg over to lock in the Triangle.

-- Bow and Arrow finish: he said to keep the grip and my elbow DOWN, so there is no chance of escape as I get my bottom leg out. My elbow was flaring out just a bit, enough to get his head out. That really helped in my very next roll with Purp Ira.

-- Cross Choke from Mount: get deeeep with the first grip, and CURL my fist, into his neck, and ELBOW down on his chest. Second hand the same as I've been doing. Lean forward my forehead down on the mat, 1 o'clock, and EXPAND my chest on top of him.

BB Tarca --  I. Knee Cut, sits on down leg, grip and pushing into neck. Slick back step into Honey hole.

II. Turtle Choke ... overhook to far collar, second grip near collar (four fingers in), lay on left shoulder into a Half Guard (like finishing Guillotine) for finish.

Thoughts on Submissions. Expanding on Danaher and his controlling the other's body. And linking with Drills. I love drills. But no one talks about why drilling submissions and why they don't work live rolling. Obviously, drilling there is NO RESISTANCE. When live rolling, you need to get to that situation ... of no resistance by DOMINATING/CONTROLLING/IMMOBILIZING your opponent so that the only path is the way to your submission.

Octopus Guard from Half ... just realized I can connect that to the Rolling Back Take. My left hand is on his back, my left leg trapped. I come up, reach for his outside ankle, pull in as i push him over and Roll Over my Left shoulder. Gotta try it.
