Had some good rolls with Ken and Drew this morning. Ken and I had some clashes when we both wanted to pull guard. He's been keeping off of his knees too. So there was some leg jockeying for position. I feel okay standing up or on my butt but I'm leery of going to my knees.
I seemed to make it to deep half naturally but like on Monday with Mike I wasn't sure what to do next. So I end up in this almost reversal, almost in back mount, almost in a triangle position. I know I've been told not to hang out there, but I really don't know where to go and not hurt myself at the same time. I'll have to do some research. I felt really good in the beginning of our matches and Ken and I were shutting each other down move for move. Eventually though he got through my defenses and was able to submit me with some armlocks. I had my moments where I came really close to passing his guard or taking his back but would always hesitate and make sure I wasn't going to injure anything. No pain today so I'm happy.
Drew doesn't have very much experience so I went between coaching him and trying to be as fluid as possible and using good technique. I ended up coaching him against Ken and felt good about my advice. Although Ken was taking it pretty easy on him, for a second I thought I was coaching Drew to do better against Ken then I would.
