Competition Class
Had a little change up in groups this week. Jerad and Will were both absent and Bauer and Mo showed up. Bauer and I ended up together which made the workout a little more difficult than the previous weeks. Greg had us do the basic back mount escape timed and then he gave an instructional on pulling guard. We then drilled pulling closed or open for several minutes. During my first attempt I totally slammed myself instead of locking up the closed guard, I decided to practice pulling open after that.
We ran through the conditioning set ending with burpees, which sucked verily. We did several rounds of each of our predetermined techniques. Bauer provided some motivation when I started slowing down during the over/under pass. Probably the most difficult part of the class for me physically was the single legs. I'm not sure if I'm just not used to them or if I'm doing something wrong, because my back gets fatigued quickly.
Open Mat
I rolled with Jorge and Derrick. Jorge continues to be more challenging than I new guy should be. He does a good job of keeping his arms in already. I had to be pretty crafty while rolling with him as well as conserve my energy. He was having some trouble getting out of mount so I showed him the step over to recapture half guard escape. My main focus with Derrick was the Ezekiel choke which I pulled off a few times. I also coached him a bit on the bullfighter guard pass and tried to get him to get good grips while attempting to pass.
