Sun 36 / 134

Taps: 4. Total: 130. 

2nd person to come up and say they saw the podcast. A big Blue Belt that looked like Fred Flintstone. Super nice guy. 

Passing - saw a Wrist grab, Underhook, pin either Hips or Shoulder for the Pass. Tried that a little. Early stages. 

Then Brown Bhasar passed so easily with his two Ankle grab Torreando. 

Don't think, just roll. 

Thu Nooner 35 / 130 + Lights out #3 / guest Brian Mendez - 6 Blades - Podcast i'm in

Taps: 1. Total: 130. 

Guest Brian Mendez of Six Blades (of Riberio brand). He showed a standup and ground tech. I really liked the stand up. I need to drill more stand up. 

Ko Uchi Gari -- 

1. opp grabs w right hand same side collar grip on left side. Grip Break -- near hand grip gi under his hand / outside hand C up on outside. Break by pushing to the Right. 

2. Step in, get close, Left outside hand goes over his back. Left foot traps his front Right foot for Foot Sweep. Usually won't get it. He will step out. 

3. Shuffle step close / right foot in, then Left foot TRIPs his other foot. Takedown into a Knee Cut. 

Lights out #3 -- rolling w Brown Belt. He had a loop choke from bottom. I had a pressure on top. I might have leaned into his choke. Thought, "uh oh" and was about to tap, when next i know he is waking me up from a nice short dream. Not long enough for me to really enjoy or remember. 

* interviewed on Alberto Crane Show #280.

 

Sun 34 / still 129

Taps: 0. Total: 129.

- Lockdown -- specialist Brown Bhasar wasn't there, but a couple of other peeps played Lockdown n i was able to pass with release foot, underhook, shoulder pressure n pass. 

- Heisen -- couldn't get normal sweep but able to push over n come on on top. 

- use Head pressure when passing the half.

- Aoki lock -- came close a couple of times but wasn't use to attacking the far foot, rather the near one. Maybe that's why i couldn't finish. 

- Kimura grip from top side -- can't break grip, can't transition to armbar or anything else ... Tarikoplata? Couldn't remember how to transition to that. 

- Zach choke ... fail.

- Tainan side armbar -- they keep holding their gi or linking hands. how to i stop that?

* Days when i wear White gi, good chance blood gets on it. 

** More passing. Systematic Passin.g
