Greg had us do 8 minutes a piece of drilling a technique of our choice. This must be why it felt like the class went by so fast. Who better to practice leg drags with than Jerad, as he gave me a lot of pointers. By the end I felt smoother with the technique, mission accomplished. Greg said we are going to do this a lot more and I approve, I just need to have some go to techniques on hand.
Theme: Triangle from Side Mount
This was a brand new technique to me, which hasn't happened in while. I actually thought that it wasn't a possibility from side mount but the set-up turned out to be quite slick. We would trap the near side arm in our hip and then threaten mount with a knee on belly. If they blocked the knee on belly with the other hand, then we would grab it like a kimura and swing our leg around like a mounted triangle. From there I usually practiced the armbar option, which I can't wait to try on someone that wasn't there for the class.
We trained from side control for a couple rounds. I went with Jerad and then Adam, who were both frustrating, but in a good way. We did free rolling after that where my partners were Greg and Henry.
WHOYA: September 19th 2012 - Morning Open
The thing that really stands out from this post is this phrase: "Sometimes I feel like I get stuck in a loop though and keep going to the same techniques over and over." I no longer experience this but remember the feeling. I'm not sure if it's an illusion and I just have more options now to repeat or if that was a natural phase in BJJ.
Got to call it a night. I'm looking forward to the first 6 am class.
