Sun 33 / 129

Taps: 1. Total: 129.

Should have been one more from BB Tarca. He gets the lapel wrapped around my neck, Brabo style so fast and easy. But he stopped for people to move away from us and time expired. 

Brown Bashar loves the Lockdown. I stayed on top and just could not pass the last 10 % of the pass. He finally had to resort to Knee Shield to keep me away. I needed to finish with BJ Penn's switch to other crossface, really turn his head to get my foot free.

Nooner 32 / 128

Taps: 5. Total: 128.

Prof Crane -- Half Guard top / back step to Knee Ba ... scoop up and lace both ankles. 

 * sit on his knee, hip before back stepping.

After Class:

Close Guard Cross Sleeve sequence:

  • Rev Scissor Sweep
  • Old Man Hip Bump sweep
  • Sleeve drag to back take
  • Heisen Guard
trying to see if i could add the G roll to it, but not really. Or i need to release the grip and go belly down, push up position to see if that works. 

Pass, pass, pass. didn't really get up to try any passes.

Taps: 4. Total: 123

Good -- 
  1. got two Octo Rollover Sweeps
  2. One Old Man Sweep
  3. improving Bhahar's Heel Toe Pass / last time, 0%, today about 15%. (he also gave me one more detail -- hand one presses on his opposite shoulder as the foot that's passing.)
No luck - Heisen Sweep -- couldn't get the leg under armpit to generate any power.

Didn't get to try Heisen Sweep. what the hell? what did i do?

Fail, also -- Silverado Break. Couldn't quite get link my hands. Also couldn't get the 3/4 break either. then again, i was rolling with a huge BB. Who was letting me work, but he was big and strong and a BB.

Sun 29 / 117 / week off w cold

Taps: 5. Total: 117.

Took a week off with the flu. Good to get back on mats. 

BB Tarca destroyed me as always.

Brn Bhasar always give me great tips:

1. Passing / heel to toe, get pass the knee, knee into hip, and you got the pass. Just turn the knee in pass his knee. 

2. Kob drill - kob to knee on shoulder pin, both sides.

Playing around:

  • Heisen Guard. 
  • Choi bar
Need: 
  • side esc
  • bott. half / getting crushed, transition to deep?

Thu 28 / 112

Taps: 6. Total: 112.

BB Crane ... footlock / ankle locks ... dealing with common defenses. 

1. Grab foot with right arm / attacking left foot ... cross over with my left foot to prevent him from hopping over defense.
2. Get my right knee under his knee for leverage and push away.
3. Finally, create max space w my left foot pushing on his far, right side armpit to break his grip, if he's gripping my collar. 
4. Go belly down for finish. 

Post class lab w other BBs -- got some details why i can't quite get Tainan Side Armbar ...
 1. Underhook n pulling up on his arm, i need to pull his arm higher, not at elbow (that gives him room to link his arms)
2. While pulling on his arm, i need to drop my elbow down on his chest for max pressure. 

* Tried Dental Floss sweep from Half. Failed. 

Four rolls, all with BBs. that's a good day.
