19.8 Sunday Confessions 5070

Taps: 13. Total: 5070.

Update: 52 y.o. / Brown 3 Stripes.

Get there a little late, barely warmed up and first roll is with Monster Brn Nick ... and it's only half of the 6 min round, but he still gets in THREE quick taps, just from Straight Ankle Locks, and i think he got a couple more.

Purp Ira, gave me the Ryan Hall Open Elbow vids -- helped me already. Open elbow and levers. Ira has such a wicked Gi wrap game too. But i'm also seeing how he's constantly attacking the Elbow, getting it open and away from the body.

Been working the Cross Collar Grip BREAKS ... having some success. 2 main ones.
 1. from Ninja -- open thumb, then pull back and arch back.
 2. from Arman - grip fleshly part of hand, just below thumb, then pull and arch back.

Both work great. Just need to remember to break grips before moving on.

Also, got Ira a couple of times with Palm Down Push Sweep from Open Guard even.

Misc -- two Main counters when Top Mount and he's turning:
 1. Crossface and flatten.
 2. Abandon Mount, swivel/Wiper leg to KoB, then Side or stay KoB.

Tonon Backpack Turtle Turnover -- when they Turtle ... i can get turn them and take the Back. Fairly successful at it, sometimes can't get Both hooks in, and have trouble finishing from Back.

Next: Back Finish System.

Boredom -- sometimes a tech is so successful that i get bored. no surprises. Then i abandon the tech for a new shiny one that i need to learn all over again. then i come back to the original one much later and think, why did i abandon it?
