shitt. fukkk. another kesa tap fatigue, panic tap to blue belt and he wasn't even that big. 

wtf. 

back to drawing board. kesa escapes. 

so, my standup game sucks.

side control esc sucks.

passing sucks.

open guard sucks.

other than that. things are good. 

tarca techs at end:

from bottom half guard -

• start in knee shield, then top hand thumb in / palm down collar grip.
• lock in half guard, let him in close, other hand goes behind his head, locks into my other elbow
• bottom elbow lifts for choke.

sweep from bottom half - 

• get underhook, grip his belt 
• torque bottom leg, a la coyote guard / bonus adv tip - other foot pushes his leg out so torque leg can easily hook
• underhook his other thigh
• sweep

Pass, pass pass. Leandro Lo pass revisit. 

Open guard / collar sleeve attacks, possibly also Lasso. 

- progressed on Kesa esc but main Side ESC ... 

- Sore all over. Pain. that's never going away. Pain. that's how i know i'm alive. or as the Buddhists say, Pain n Suffering is Life. 

- Go where the FEAR is. Roll with the scariest Dudes. Roll w the dudes you don't want to.
