19.102 Sunday Confessions, and this is last sess before Surgery, really!

Taps: 10. Total: 5684.

Seven taps from Nick, who's a Black now. Also, saw that Theo is BB, too. Didn't get to roll with him.

The other taps from BB Tarca, who showed me his wicked Side to Cruxifix.

 * Crossface hand traps the elbow and pulls back, while other hand half Nelsons behind the head; back foot threads through crossface trap, other leg hooks under his hip and lifts him and get my far to the other side and link my legs to together and trap that far arm.
 ** near arm separates his arm from away his body, that leaves his neck free, and i attack with foot on his far arm or his neck for the choke.

Good thing i got vid of it.

Tried to get Top Lock armbar, but not deep enough as he pulled his arm out ... should have gone to Triangle.

or Buchecha Mount / to High Mount Padlock Armbar

Side Attack 1 -- Zach Brabo Choke

SA 2 -- Baseball Choke

SA 3 - Stepover Armbar

SA 4 - N/S Choke

SA 5 - Gift wrap Armbar



1. From Side, get Giftwrap grip.
2. Step over and hook that foot on the outside of his HIP, and don't let him get that leg between his.
3. Fall towards his feet, and other foot in crook of their elbow (6:20)
4. Other foot crosses over the foot that jammed the elbow. (6:33)
5.  (Opportunity here to get choke if the link in arms is broken, or continue on to armbar) - 6:41
6. Now get the arm over their head, as if going for armbar. (6:45), and sit up and break grip, should be easy bc of the crossed feet over one arm. (7:05)
7. Can finish w/o swinging the leg over his head, like in a regular armbar.
