Taps: 4. Total: 4951.
First roll with Random 3 Stripe White I've never seen before. He shut down most of my stuff, thought maybe must be a wrestler and he could of tapped me but was nice enough not to, which was not expected.
From now on, i will treat everyone like a Purple Belt, til i know for sure i can relax.
Predictable pattern in majority of my rolls: I will end up in Half Guard and they will try Knee Cut, and it's a race to see if they can Pass or I can work my Leite Half ... getting Underhook, hooking the leg and hiding my bottom arm before they can work their Knee Cut.
Work on: hip bump sweep with cross collar -- put in 1000x drill machine. Side esc - popcorn shrimp and ghost spin, adem pass and Guard recovery drills, grips for berimbolo.

17.28 Saturday Breakie Club 4047
Taps: 3. Total: 4047. weight in 144-148 range.
Basics with BB Joel.
Double Leg entry. Clinch to Back. Back to Takedown 1 - pull both ankles; 2 - kick in fold behind his knee.
Side ESC Series ... I. Long Bridge
II. Popcorn Bridge ... near Underhook to Ghost Spin: bridge again to get space to Spin; frame against his shoulder so he can't follow.
III. Near Underhook to Roll: get parallel, then bridge with near underhook.
Blue Asian Paul kept basing on my Rev Butterfly Sweep attempts, but just realized there is a Triangle there when he puts his hand on the mat.
Berimbolo ... Blue Spider David: since getting better at inverting, I'm 30% there to getting a Berimbolo, don't even have the grips right but fumbling my way to the Back or top.
Getting to Blue Guard ... need to get to next step: Omo or Triangle?
High Guard Triangle ... getting better, but couldn't finish Blue Shane. He said he had his knees under my butt. Need to scoot away or even bridge up and to the side. Burned out my legs.
Octopus Half ... getting the the Back. Keep practicing.
Open Guard? ... DLR and RDLR to some inverts.
Passing? Side ESC. Lots to work on.

17.27 Thur AM Club 4044
Taps: 4. Total: 4044.
weight: last night 148.5, this morning 146.5, after training 144.5.
BB Vince ... Side Control Attacks ... another Trinity Chain: Kimura-Straight Armlock-Americana.
I. from Side Control: Kimura - he straights arm ... Straight Armlock; he turns arm up, switch grips: my right hand goes under my other elbow, grips his wrist, my right grips my left wrist.
*Keep my left elbow on mat and against side of his head; keep my chest heavy on his chest.
II. from Kesa Side ... underhook far arm and bait him.
a. When he brings that hand in front of my face to frame, then step over his head, stay heavy on his face, grab the Americana.
var. -- he he doesn't tap, come up to KoB for more leverage and definitely get the tap.
III. from Side, Underhook far arm, pull it towards me, dig my elbow on his chest to get him on his side (BB Mike had a vicious, sick Elbow in Belly)
a. step left leg over his face, get my left hand under my right elbow to make the Grib Switch to Kimura.
b. both knees tight, keep right knee down, can bring left knee up tight against him.
side help: asked Brn Arman how to deal with Brn Chris' Far Side Knee Cut, which he kills my Half and Reverse DLR like butter. He said to hold to his ankle like DLR, and i need to switch guards. The advice helped, and i held off his pass a bit longer than usual but he still went for the Hopping/Jumping Far Side Knee Cut that he loves and usually crushes my knees but this time, his knee landed on the mat and he need to stop for a quick break.
And another episode of freakin' spazzy White Belts ... going to subs, wristlocks, spazzy armlocks, chokes from inside Guard ... although a Three/four stripe White did tap me with a Loop Choke of some kind. I was curious to see if he could and he did. Thought i'd be more upset about it than i am. very philosophical these days about tapping to lower belts.
Brn Sky from Simi was there. Forgot that he and BB Kenny have a nasty Omoplata that always fall slowly into. He gets into it from the Overhook but i can't remember how Kenny does it.
Half Passes ... Redzo Footwork and Lo Wiper Half Pass.
Guard Recovery and Switching to other Guards ... DLR to X.

17.25 Sunday Confessions 4037
Taps: 2. Total: 4037.
BB Tarca showed a simple DLR sweep: hook low with non-DLR foot and take out that leg and he falls over.
Random Purp plays same Half Guard as me (based on Leite's game) and he gets the Underhook and scoops with outside foot, etc. Good detail: he gets deep Underhook and hugs around the waist. I thought high Underhook, but I'll have to play around with it.
My Guard Sucks! I didn't play it at all. Played top and passing. Need to practice Guard more.
Roll call: 1 BB, 4 Brn, 3 Purp, 1 Blue.
Work on: Half Passing TT style. Closed Guard. Side ESC.

I have a bad habit of being tired and lazy and letting the lower belts get dangerous grips and positions and THEN trying to get out. Must BREAK that habit.
During drills, just the Standing up in Guard was quite a workout. Burned my thighs. I should put it into my routine. 20x/day.

Taps: 2. Total: 4038.
BB Chris ... Straight Footlock ESC.
1. If he's got my right foot ... cross collar grip with my left hand, keep him close ... apply BOOT to push my foot in and curl my toes toward me.
2. Scoot out to the right, push down on his outside foot and sit on top and over it.
3. Left leg loops over and in between him and my left hip, and come up into KoB.
Straight Footlock to the Pass
1. If he counters and gets too close and i can't finish the footlock (ie i have his right foot under my left armpit) ... right hand controls his outside leg so if can't come up.
2. Left hand goes under the footlock leg and grabs far opposite collar, like in over/under Pass and come up.
Wow. Skipped two stripes and straight to Brown. Thought I had a couple more years to sandbag at Purple. 6 1/4 years to Brown.
Some luck with Octopus Half Sweeps. Closed Guard needs more work. Making incremental progress on Side ESC, along with X Guard.
