I'm back from a great 7 day vacation cruise in the Caribbean with my wife. It was a great get away and refreshing both mentally and physically. I ate a lot of good food, did some snorkeling, walking, took some tours, and a lot of pictures. All of my injuries are much better and I'm ready to get some serious training in. I plan to start swimming again and possibly start lifting weights.
Greg taught class yesterday and we focused on the over/under pass throughout the whole class. It was warranted since the technique has a lot of little details to make it work. After drilling the technique several times we did some live training and started from a half butterfly and work for the sweep. That was very difficult, but good training.
Before leaving Greg told me and Fuji to work on this pass a lot because it's excellent for bigger guys. So I have added this, my failed triangle recovery, and the other guard pass using the double lapel grip.
I rolled with Ken for open mat. It turned out to be a lively match. I felt pretty loose and relaxed which was good. I don't think I ever got Ken in a bad spot, he's becoming exceedingly difficult for me to pass and we spent most of the time in kind of an open guard leg tangle. I had his back at one time but I accidentally slumped off and ended up in guard. From there I wasn't able to get off my back again. There were some opportunities but I didn't take advantage of them like I should have. In the end he got me with an armbar.
