Nooner 4 / 27 / OGs visit

Taps: 2. Total: 27. 

Train long enough and you get to meet all your BJJ heroes. 

OGs and legends of BJJ. Leo Viera of Checkmat and John Ouano. Wow. Lil Bro used to train with Ouano back in the day. And of course, i knew all about Leo V. Mainly from his famous Backtake off the Turtle. 

Anyway, he showed a Closed Guard Break off the Knee and Pass, Passing Half Guard. 

Closed Guard Break

1. Double gi grip on chest, raise up on knee and push on his knee to get guard open
2. Wiper Staple his bottom leg
3. If he gets Knee Shield and he gets sleeve grip on my outside hand ... move my hand closer to his knees, then pass his hand over to my other hand (which is weaved between his legs)
4. Circle out and break his grip from my outside hand ... which is free to reach behind his head for a Cradle style pass. (also put chest pressure to collapse his knee shield)

Stuck in Half Guard / to disengage ...

1. Weave inside hand, then onto the mat / other hand posts on mat
2. Scoot back until his bottom leg is down on the mat
3. Wiper staple and finish with Cradle pass. 

btw both taps to BBs. Who are like sharks, circling and circling, not engaging each other bc realizing how dangerous they are and that they are the only ones who can inflict damage on each other. ha ha. random BB thoughts going through my head.
