September 19th - No Gi (Time Flies)

Drilling: Leg Drag

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.
