Had a good hard day of rolling. It was a little tough to keep up with my "Sense of Urgency mantra. I realize now that I have been training pretty lazy lately. This is already showing signs of difficulty but it will be worth it. Someone on one of the podcasts I listen to said something to the effect of "if you're not always moving then you're not attacking." I've been trying to reconcile that with my game. I participated in some wars today, although I don't remember a lot of it. I'll just summarize some of the people I worked with.
Jerad: He controlled me pretty well from mount and ended up triangling once from there and once from guard. The only good thing I did was pass his guard and knee him in the head (accident).
Mike: We battled for quite a while and it seemed like he was huffing and puffing as much as I was. I spent some time on top in north/south and attempted to take his back for a little bit. I thought I was ahead of the game until I fell into his loop choke and that was it.
John: He did a lot better than the last time I rolled with him. I had a little trouble passing his guard at first. I got him stuck in side control for a while and afterwards we went over the underhook tripod escape.
Conan: Conan allowed me to take side control from the beginning. He said later on that I had him defending and if I would have kept it up I probably wouldn't have lost control of him and gotten swept.
Will: Will and I rolled non-stop for probably 20 minutes. It was great exercise in pacing and not giving up. We both had our moments on top and bottom
Jordan: I didn't roll with Jordan but I went over some of my tips for the north/south choke. He seemed to get it in the end.
