Here I am, writing this 3 days after open mat took place. I remember rolling with Fuji, Jerad, Greg, Adam, Claire, and Bryan. Here are some of the highlights:
Fuji: Started off letting me be on top. Was able to pass his spider guard and then used his gi lapel around his shoulder to hold him down for a while until he swept me and returned the favor of choking me with my lapel.
Jerad: I bum rushed him and passed his guard and went right for a north-south choke when he just wanted to warm-up slow roll. Whoops. He handed me my ass after that several times.
Greg: I rolled the wrong way to escape an omaplata, I should have known better. Continuously get caught in his spider to x-guard move.
Bryan: Took his back a couple of times and then worked with him on some basic back escapes. Demonstrated the bow and arrow choke for him a couple of times.
Claire: She seemed pretty rusty but stronger than she was before. She asked a lot of good questions about what she should have done in certain situations. I saw her implement the x-guard after being showed it once against Adam. Good to have her back.
Adam: Played a little guard in the beginning but eventually he smothered me in side control.
