Taps: 8. Total: 4731.
Judo Nick as usual demolished me, but nice to see him do it to others. He makes it so easy. Taps me 5, 6 times a roll. Very intimidating, people are very afraid to roll with his, as they should be. Not sure why I keep going back for more. Do I have a masochistic streak? Don’t think so because I don’t enjoy it or derive pleasure from it. Guess it’s a pride, ego thing then, to say I survived and did not quit.
Y sleeve grip works very well, going to be my go-to sleeve break. Saw Xande use it first, but recently saw English bloke from invisible BJJ yt Chan show it.
1. Graugart’s Relaxed Agression, esp for Arm drag takedown.
2. Sab label closed Guard
3. Kesa Esc

18.48 Saturday Breakfast Club 4723
Taps: 3. Total: 4723.
BB Dean teaching because lots of people at a competition.
I - Side Control Pipe Choke var. and a Baseball Choke but with arm stuck in.
Core List to work:
1. Sab Closed Guard
2. Kesa ESC, chain the three together.
side note: Em's women's class, all the White belts crossing their ankles during Back Attack. Big no-no.
Also, new detail on the Back to Kimura grip armbar ... leg traps the arm before it comes over the face. Prevents the hand from linking and defending the armbar.
Just work on Core list for a month or two at a time.

18.47 Sunday Confession Father's Day Beat Down 4720
Taps: 2. Total: 4720.
Both taps to Blue, 4 stripes. He has good Triangle, Omoplata set ups.
Also, new Brn Takai. Nice guy, and just when I think I have a sweep he leads me straight into a Foot Lock set up.
Reviewed: Saulo Triangle ESC -- TRAPPED ARM SIDE, knee comes up, blocks the hip, twist.
Turtle ESC -- being too static, passive, GRANBY asap.

Most of those taps to BB Z. He is one tough SoB, and technical too.
Purp Eddie giving me fits, not being able to completely escape ... his transition game is getting better so I get armbar escape to Half and he takes my back, etc.
Work on Back ESC and Guard Retention.

Keep going in wrong direction on Darce escape. Go under.
Had a hard time with Big, Heavy White George. Shouldn't let him get such head start. Frame, frame frame.
Better luck with Armbar Breaks. Keep working it.

18.44 Sunday Confessions 4706 - 2 Yr Anniversary!!
Taps: 6. Total: 4706. (1st Confession - June 5, 2016)
Not much to report. Just been pondering the toughest guys I roll with.
Sundays -- Brn Judo Nick -- he's heavy, strong and super technical. He's got great balance and fast footlocks. He kills my Half Guard game with his weight and balance.
Home base -- Purp Morgan and BB Z.
There's other lower belts who give me fits but these guys are scary good. Most dread rolling with them. I do, too but I make myself do it because it's good for my JJ game, kind of like JJ broccoli.

18.43 Saturday Breakfast Club 4700
Taps: 0. Total: 4700.
Late, missed warmups and tech. Came right in the middle of Closed Guard/Pass line drills. Winner stays down.
BBs averaging 6 a class: Jason, Dean, Albert, Mike, Simi guy, Z.
BB Albert is the smilin Assassin. He's so nice. Smile on his face as he destroys me with his wicked technique. Picked his brain and he dropped lots of gems my way.
Lots of concepts rather than techs. Dealing with big, strong guys.
I. Limb concept, separate it away from body, makes them weaker.
II. vs Combat Base -- control sleeve, block same side, see where they are balanced and where their weight is and Sweep to dead zone.
III. vs Pass, control sleeve/frame, keep it scoot/shrimp to Recover Guard.
IV. Closed Guard, get his arm across center line and Side Guard, but stuck ... drop my leg, let him come over and that gives me space to take the BACK.
V. vs Double wrapping/hugging my legs when they Pass -- kind of sitting Uchimata sweep them over same side.
VI. Passing Concept -- get them on their Back and remove their Hooks before Passing.
