19.87 Tom DeBlass evening Seminar 5509

Taps: 3. Total: 5509.

Tom DeBlass Seminar

* Half Guard.

** Prevent Underhook. Go Deep Half. Grab ankle. Turtle Turnover.

He told stories in between a few techniques. Did not roll with anyone; that was disappointing. Did stay to take pictures with everyone and answered all questions.

I stayed and rolled.

Injury update: that soreness from Saturday was pinched nerve. Still feeling it. Might have to take a break.

19.86 Sat Breakfast Club 5506

Taps: 0. Total: 5506.

BB Chris ... I. Side ESC from Thur. / review

II. Darce from Half Guard top / arm out


Damn, neck and shoulders super sore. Thought it was from the Darce drill but actually that one time the Blue belt had me in a Triangle. I escaped but while i was in there was enough and now i'm paying.

Closed Guard -- did better. Played the Shotgun grips and if they passed that, they fell into my Half Guard and Coyote.

Passing needs more work.

Side ESC needs more work.

19.85 Thur Am 5506

Taps: 3. Total: 5506.

BB Chris ...

I. Failed shot, to single to Sit out to Turtle Top
 a. trap above elbow, post up leg on same side, Sit out

II. Turtle Attack, Bow and Arrow Choke
 a. Choking grip on the left hand
 b. Post right hand on right hand, go over to the other side turning him over
 c. Reg finish with legs crossed, and pants grip but i really like the JT Torres tip of underhooking the leg and falling towards the leg for even tighter, more efficient finish.

man, my Closed Guard and Passing sucks so bad. I need to focus, focus and spend more time and drill these two positions. And Muscle SWEEP vs Standing.

BB Vince ... Kesa ESC with grabbing the near leg with both hands and looping it over my head for the sweep reversal, assuming my back hand is in front of the guy and not behind him, where mine is usually.

** had to smile, bc just when i start getting cocky, thinking i know what i'm doing, i have a day like today, and i get smacked down to earth and know that i know nothing, and have a looong long way to go.

19.81 Sunday Confessions 5474 Record Taps (19) + Godzilla v Rodan

Taps: NR 19. Total: 5474.

My buddy BB Z -- the toughest guy at SO -- came today to train. He rolled with Brn Nick, the toughest guy at Legacy. It was Godzilla v Rodan. I didn't get a chance to watch too much because i was rolling, but i think Z had a slight edge.

Those guys are so tough not many want to roll with them. I'm glad i was able to bring them together so they can get some challenging rolls.

Only four of us -- Z, Nick and Blue One hand and me. I had to roll with Nick three times, Z four -- that's why i had a new record of 19 Taps!!!

Nick tip: Side Control ESC to Kesa -- move my LEGS away before i push on the chest. Create dead zone into which i push into. I was always just push, not moving my leg.

Work on that and Mount ESC!!

19.77 Sun Confessions 5442

Taps: 3. Total: 5442.

No Monster Nick. Others were relieved. I feel bad for Nick and BB Z at my school. No one wants to roll with them. I try to roll with them as much as possible but ... i don't give them much of a resistance as do others.

BB Ray -- nice armbar tip, as i was going for Armbar from side, LEAN forward, and put weight on, then scoop the arm in and either roll into armbar or Sit back down at that time.

Blue One hand -- nice Butterfly Pass -- right hand cross frames/blocks the right foot, as i Pass that way to the Left.

Finally got the Giggler Sweep to the right, off the Shotgun grips ... he posted on his head again, but i gave it a little more umph and i pulled on the sleeve as i got up.
