Taps: 1. Total: 4203.
BB Chris Ng at PMA BJJ in Taipei, Taiwan. Wednesday night.
Small space, about the size ( I'd say 200 sq ft) of Steve's Noho Mma, but it was at least wider, not as long.
Showed up early, watched the tail end of the Beginner Class ... looked like he teaches one long sequence technique... Back esc into Closed Guard, and bottom guy goes for Hip Bump Sweep fake into Triangle.
Class taught in English and Chinese.
Classs I joined in next was All Belts ... I was only Brown; there was one purple, maybe three blues and rest was whites. Still a pretty good turnout for such a small space ...maybe 15 people.
Tech I ... Closed Guard break, standing to knee cut, and variation with jaw turn.
Ended class with 30 minutes of positional drilling ... pass and sub or sweep.
We do the same drill at our home academy but this version is much, much tougher:
1. Bottom guy sweeps or subs; he wins he stays. After three wins, he has to get out of line.
2. Top guy starts standing and in Open Guard and must Sub, which means he has to Pass first, t,hen sub.
After this, there was still a little time for rolling but no one seemed interested and I didn't want to push it though I did want to get one regular roll in. But there's time. I'm planning on coming crack for open mat in a couple of days.
As for me, played a lot of Half Guard vs knee cut, and swept from there. Almost becoming a crutch. Need to get actively into Closed Guard or start developing an Open Guard.
