continue -- Side Top maintenance. Back attack, hand fight, Strait Jacket.
Tarca special -- Top Half, get him on side, Giftwrap into Cruxifix ...
Triangle esc - posture. Got out of one of two, tapped to armbar.
Armbar -- old blue, tough Overhook Triangle, got out of that, into armbar, escaped, but later got me with better Spiderweb break.
Diff. blue -- must of been a Keenan special grip into Baseball choke.
Taps: 7: Total: 5726.
Back to the grind and so many Black Belts - 7 or 8 i think, and 5 Browns ... a couple of Purps and Blues but no Whites.
Passing -- 20% improvement just from Shin to Shin practice, and didn't even get to attempt any Side Smash. that's next.
Work on:
1. Armbar Breaks.
2. Side Attacks
3. Side to Mount Transitions.
4. Back Attack ... strait jacket
Both wrist bones sore from Footlocks and Heel hook attempts.
Rolling with One hand Blue -- had Spider web armbar then he stood somehow and stacked me and i couldn't transition fast enough to roll under Armbar and had to tap bc he has crunching my back. So practice roll under Transition from Stack.
Same roll - i tried a heel hook on him and he rolled three times and i followed, and we were about to crash into someone else and i let go, but i didn't finish bc i don't know what i'm doing in heel hooks and maintaining tight control to finish and stop the roll.

BB Steve has a nice little school in Noho. A great little place if you're starting out your MA journey.
Went to visit and get a workout.
He went over Footlocks, which was good bc i suck at them and i've actually given up on them and went to Heel Hooks bc everyone's doing them and Straight Footlocks are actually much harder to finish.
They were all practically kids, and all White belts and one Blue. Had to remember to dial it back and not go for subs and just try to maintain top and let them work.
If i was being selfish i might not go back but i need to give back to the community and not just go to the toughest places just so that i can benefit.
I need to work on my subs and top game and maintaining, Side and Mount into subs. And Armbar Breaks. Never get to practice bc i never get here except there were so many lower belts today.
Taps: 10. Total: 5719.
Keep working: Passing, Side and Mt maintenance.
Armbar escapes -- got three of 4. Got one Giggler. Telles Turtle sweeps. Work on transitions.
Taps: 6. Total: 5709.
Three taps to big, strong White to ... what else? Kimura from Mount. That is my Achilles heel/Kriponite.
Need to figure it out. Slowly finding ways to avoid it, but if i can't or am too gassed, then i am screwed.
Work on: passing, maintaing Side and Mount. Notice nothing about Subs. Not gonna get any if i can't maintain the top.
