Taps: 4. Total: 4606 + Injury
BB Chris ... I came in late, saw only the Rev Butterfly Sweep off the Failed Scissor, using the Over the Back grip.
Brn Z -- played with the Ashi a bit, entries pretty good, course can't Finish. That's next. He peeled off my leg and I went to Outside Ashi. Progressing.
Purp Paul ... he's always had a good, FAST armbar ... and now getting even better. Saw him get the same armbar on Blue Shane ... he gets it on my but tightened and twists pretty hard on my SHOULDER and I tap too late and now I have a pretty intense Muscle Strain.
It was almost like a Omoplata. Bunch of guys asking if I'm alright. They've got this mistaken notion, perception that I'm TOUGH or that I never get injured. They've never really seen me STOP during a roll before. or after a tap. Weird.
There was my Sunday training, and we'll see how long this will keep me out.

18.31 Thur Am 4602
Taps: 3. Total: 4603.
BB Chris ... I. Sitting Guard, Cross Collar Guard to Omoplata (arman detail of falling to side)
a. tuck leg under his armpit, scoot back
II. If he straightens arm ... lay back, straight Arm lock.
III. Omo ESC with footlock / grab toes, put foot behind my neck.
BB Rollcall - Arman, Rabbi, Mike, Vince.
No women today. A shame.
Bonus: BB Mike showing a sweet sequence ... Double Under Kneecut, Step high to trap near arm in Rainbow on his side, to Back Take, Back Control (fall to choking hand side) with foot on hip, then to Body Triangle, and RNC.
Love the 100% Sweep.
During line drills ... i was trying to open Closed Guard in big Blue ... couldn't get posture, so i was going for a cheeky Ezekiel from inside Closed Guard, but he blocked, so i switched to Tozi Pass, but i didn't have the underhook, just the headlock from when i was going for Ez. Knew it wouldn't work, couldn't bail out of it.

BB Chris ... Double Under Butterfly ... to X Guard Sweep to KoB, Armbar.
BB rollcall: Mike, Rabbi, Chris G., Steve G.
Also, good to see 4 Women on the mats. Can't remember the last time i've seen that many. Hope they keep coming back.
One of the taps to a White one Stripe: i got cocky and let him get too deep with his grips while he had my back. He had good Back Control.
BB Chris G. did ask if I've been taking Privates. So that was nice. I've never taken a Private. Guess the extra session at Sunday Confession is paying off?
Working in -- Ashi game and the Marte Posture Break.
My god, my Side ESC still SUCKS and now i've got another hole -- Back ESC. Back to the LAB.

18.29 Sunday Confessions 4593
Taps: 4. Total: 4593.
Got Giggler on Purp Shane three times. And got out of D'Arce twice.
Working in Leg Locks into my game. Just entries at the moment. Finishing will come later. Something I learned about Leg Lock submissions and it applies to other submissions, too -- need to control before the finish.
ie Leg Locks -- need to lock up the knee, and the foot is just dangling and helpless to the finish. But if I go straight to the Leglock and grab his foot, it lowers the chance of finishing.
Same goes for Armlocks -- just grabbing the arm will NOT work, but if I lock up the shoulder and elbow and get to S Mount, then his arms are just dangling, helpless to the Finish. f
Purp Ira is just so good at Side ESC and Guard Recovery. Need to incorporate his moves into my game.

18.28 Sunday Confessions 4589
Taps: 10. Total: 4589.
Love these 8 min rounds.
Brn Nic got me about 6 or 7 times: his heel hooks and knee bars are very quick. Not much time to escape.
Got my FIRST HEEL HOOK ... after watching the Bootleg Vids of Danaher's tech.
Hierarchy of Footlocks
1. Standard Ashi
2. Outside Ashi
3. Inside Santaku.
Need to transfer my notes off the Bootlegs onto here.
Purp Ira -- says to go to N/S Choke from Side. Keep attacking in Side otherwise he will escape. He and Nic have very good Side ESC, good swivel movement. I need to get that good at Side ESC ... they escape at will.

18.27 Thur A.M. 4579
Taps: 10. Total: 4579, and inching toward the halfway mark.
BB Chris ... Half Guard Knee Shield Pass
1. Weave between the leg, cup bottom leg.
2. Push down, collapse the Knee Shield down with my other hand, then Sprawl.
3. Grip far collar grip to keep him close.
4. Turn hip in to put more pressure and break open his legs.
5. Step in, then into him to put chest pressure and flatten. (Vince tip: got to 3/4 N/S.)
II. Half Guard vs Underhook, go for Kimura
1. Pressure and flatten
III. Half Guard Top, counter Kimura with Kimura
1. Straighten my arm, get over his elbow
2. Switch base, pressure and flatten.
BBs in the House: Chris, Vince, the Rabbi, Arman, Grossi.
I rolled with all except the Rabbi. But he did show me a Triangle Escape -- free hand comes across and PUNCHES the mat, next to the guy's ear.
Rolled 3x with Brn Z -- what a monster, and the worse thing is lately he's moving light a small person. He berimbolo'd me twice. Last tap was to Body Triangle. I had his leg trapped, just needed to get onto that side, but he was pulling on my elbow on the same side to keep me square and flat and i had to tap to his SQUEEZE.
Keep seeking the toughest guys, maybe some of it will rub off on me.
Out.

18.25 Sunday Confessions 4562
Taps: 9. Total: 4562.
Less rolls, more taps. At least rolled with the 3 toughest guys - BB Tarca, Brn Nik and Purp Ira.
Purp Ira tip -- Frame with FOREARM on the neck on Side ESC and shrimp, grip material on the shoulder so they can't just shuck and set up Arm Triangle.
Injury Inventory:
1. Left Elbow -- and now wrist, too. Elbow has been sore for a month now -- tendinitis or Tennis Elbow or something.
2. Floating rib again, but mild. Not as bad as last time, same side, too.

Taps: 6. Total: 4553.
Back to our regular training program. This damn flu cost me three training sessions week before last.
BB Chris ... I. Mount to S Mount Armbar.
II. He gets double under on the S Mount ... counter and maintain by double collar grip and bail into Side Control.
Motto: No Excuses.
Rolling with Purp David ... the Spider Guy ... strong grip and lots of feet pushing on my crooks and my arms and legs. Puzzle I haven't figured out yet. Might need to get a Leg Lock game to open him up a bit.
Takedowns:
1. Kata guruma/fireman carry
2. Arm drag Slide
3. Ankle Pick
