18.104 Sunday Confessions 5029 -- Last session of the 2018, as Three Stripe Brown

Taps: 8. Total: 5029.

104 Sessions for the year. Not bad.

• Purp Karo -- has a good Ghost ESC ... made me go back to it and focus and also just MG Sit up ESC ... that's it. Those two only for maybe the first two months of 2019. 
• Purp IRA -- I. says i'm lazy with my feet. he's right. bring them in closer. 
• II. His Side Top control -- pull up near elbow and cross face with forearm/bicep
• III. Side and Mount -- Hip control. Hip control. Stay tight on the hips. 

BB Tarca

• I. Honeyhole Kneebar, falling forward rather than backstep as normal. still triangle my legs underneath. 
• II. Lasso/Spider series -- 1. Slicer / 2. Omoplata, esp if he puts a knee up to get out of Lasso / 3. Triangle ... Half Spider will open up space and prevent him from Footlocking me, which is a big hazard with playing Lasso. 

Need to play with this. 

But that's it for 2018. Sign out as three stripe Brown. 

18.103 Saturday Breakfast Club 5021

Taps: 3. Total: 5021.

BB Dean teaching ... Side Control Attacks, esp the Paper Cutter Choke and var. without the under collar grip. Also, the gi Ninja choke, clockwise.

some guidelines on my mind:

•  upper belts partner with lower
• let lower belt get more reps in drills
• roll with everyone -- lower, higher, older, younger, bigger, men, women ... 

18.102 Tue Am 5018

Taps: 5. Total: 5018.

BB Chris ... armbar drills, triangle drills and just one Tech
 a. Mount ESC, lift into Butterfly
  ** i suck at this, can't get the lift, using my arms mostly and i have no arm strength, need to get him low over my hips, bridge then lift him, and get my knees under.

WB Carlos who's now a Blue still taps me now and then. Good to roll with and practice my escapes. And he's incorporating stuff that i taught him. ie getting stacked trying to finish armbar, need to roll under ... which he did on me to finish in belly down ... that means that i need TWO escapes ... initial armbar and the roll under.

More Golden Nuggets from BB Vince:

I. Torreando / X pass

II. DLR back take from Knee
 a. deep across DLR hook to other side, off Dlr leg hooks, kicks out for BackTake

III. from Standing / that's where i've usually seen it
 a. if he counters and gets leg back over, continue with Pass, staple bottom leg with my ankle as i pass.

Keep working:
 a. Mount Top -- esp Lizard Walk until i stop getting rolled.

18.101 Sunday Confessions 5013 -- over the 5k Mark / whooo hoo Halfway There, living on a Prayer

Taps: 16. Total: 5013.

xmas came early, rolling twice with Brn Nick and BB Tarca ... they were tapping me like ...

at Sunday Cons -- i have monster Nick and at Home base, I have monster Z. they throw me around like a rag doll and everyone is afraid to roll with them.

Nick tip -- said i have to be heavier on S Mount. had sloppy padlock from Mount. he just pushed me off from my knee/thigh TWICE.

Tarca tips -- Back Attack -- use my Gi tail to open him up / also pull up from the elbow.
 * he also had Closed Guard attacks off the 2on1 and Side Guard
    i. reach across face for SWEEP
    ii. get leg over for ARMBAR
    iii. OMOPLATA is always there.


and need to add OMO to the 92 sequence:
  1. Backtake
  2. Armbar
  3. Triangle
  4. Omoplata

All the purples that showed got promoted and a couple of Browns, too so today, there were only Blacks and Browns. damn!
