Taps: 6. Total: 4109.
Man, got crushed. Need to get myself up to Simi more often. Ego got crunched. Getting complacent. Blues, Purples, and couple of Browns. Actually the Brown belts didn't go that hard. And Purp Zach has gotten new freakin tricks in his bag.
Started with BB Kenny ... new wrinkle to his Omoplata -- he hooks my leg with his, takes away a lot of my escapes.
Then Brown Sky ... he went easy on me but eventually still got me an Omoplata to Triangle, then Armbar.
Next, a Super heavy Purple, and a couple of Blues, Machado Brown, tricky Purple Zach -- i kept ending up in his Quarter Guard ... i got to Side and as soon as I Mount, he grabs my far ankle and stuffs it into Quarter Guard ... and i forgot about BB Chris' tip of heavy hips, sliding my hips down to the mat, but Zach also suggested Near Underhook and Far Side Knee Cut. duh.
One of the Blues was doing a lot of Knee Cutting, and when he Knee Cut with his Other foot (Left) forward, and I got into my off-side Half Guard, i had a hard time stopping his Knee Cut.
Purple Doyle ... wicked Lasso Sweep, and I remember him getting it on me before. Work on the Lasso Pass.
BB Kenny again. High Guard, defending the Triangle and he gets Knee grip and easily Flower Sweeps me, just effortless. I have to put that into my game when I get to High Guard.
Finished with a Rope Climb ... a few succeeded to the top, a few didn't. No pressure. Didn't have to it. But I wanted to but was afraid of embarrassment and making a fool of myself. I've never tried before. FEAR talking and i was listening.
Then i thought i should try new things. Don't worry about the result. Failure or Success, at least i can say i tried. So i did and i made it to the TOP. With my gi on.
I have to do this with other parts of my life. Don't listen to FEAR. Ignore it. Try new things.
