Taps: 3. Total: 4096.
Felt weird since i missed both Thursday and Saturday training. Felt like an off week when I get to train only two days (Sat, Sun) rather than the normal Tue, Thur, Sat, Sun On Week.
Still had some good rolls.
Over/Under Passing not so good against upper belts like BB Tarca and Brn Steve ... not enough shoulder pressure, and not good control on the over leg. They keep re-pummeling the leg in.
Purp Mike was there again. I've rolled with him at Steve's place and it was about a month before I got my Brown. He goes all leglock and kneebars and subs me about three, four times. So last week, I see him at Sunday Confessions and roll with him as Brown and we stalemate, but he didn't go for any leglocks or kneebars, so I was thinking maybe i was thinking about the wrong guy.
Nope. This morning he reverted to form and went for footlocks and wristlocks. I defended all his footlocks, but he did transition into a fast kneebar which I tapped to immediately.
Random Blue one stripe ... very chill roll. Love rolls like that. Almost a flow roll. He was so chill i was just matching his energy and pace.
Purp Shane, a wrestler ... completely the opposite energy. he's starting to use more technique but completely not chill. he grips really hard, etc.
Purp Kris ... had to laugh because he countered my Armdrag and hook swept me. i was going for my bait the right hand sleeve grip, give it to him and move it across my body, bringing his hand along and Arm drag that hand, but ...
Apparently there was a D'Arce Seminar during the week, so three different guys tried to D'arce me. They all got there but could not finish. I think Purp Alan was bummed he could not finish me. But what did he expect? One seminar and he gets to tap people? A Brown belt no less. I tried to encourage him to say that it's a work in progress and it's not going to happen all at once. He did well to get to step one, to get into the D'arce, and now he can work on the finish.
Brn Steve ... man, his transitions are so good. he's always a couple steps ahead. He counters my Leg Trap Armbar Escape by extending his leg and Taking my Back. With him it was just back and forth from Fire into Frying pan ... escape one bad position into another bad position. Escape Armbar to having my Back taken ... he said i needed to create room, move was with my lower body.
