Kids Class
Technique/Game: Mount Cross Choke, Armbar, Mount Position, Underhook game
Boys did pretty well today. It was probably the
biggest kids class I've seen. Jayden took less drink breaks during the
warm-ups and seemed to be trying his best. We still need to work a bit
on the alligator crawls and the front shrimp though.
They
did a lot better dealing with tickling each others necks during the
cross choke. Usually it would be a deal breaker but maybe having a
third partner with them helped out. I don't think there were exactly
getting the choke but progress nonetheless. The armbar was a little
more difficult, they weren't able to grasp the concept of position their
hips behind the elbow to keep them from escaping. During the rolling
portion, they continued with the theme of always trying to take the
back. Or maybe always giving their backs up from the bottom. They both
did better at getting their hooks in this time.
Open Mat
Rolled With: Jerad, Fuji, Henry, Austin, Mike (Lawyer), Adam
Not
my best day, but I did get a lot of rolling in. My foot was a little
swollen and I tapped if anyone came near an americana on my right arm.
Jerad pointed out that everyone appeared to be going for it. I kind of
feel a little sluggish and like I'm lacking some aggression lately.
This may be the effects of not doing the advanced class anymore and
rolling with my betters.
Jerad: We
rolled a couple times and I actually gained some confidence in my deep
half guard with him. Usually he shuts it right down. One thing that he
was getting me with was to hover with both hooks in from the top as I'm
in a somewhat quarter guard. He gave me some pointers on dealing with
it afterwards, by pushing on the knee and working back toward half
guard.
Fuji: He really took it to me
today. I had a hard time passing his guard and eventually he reversed
me to the bottom. I was able to play some defense pretty well for a
while. I was able to get an underhook and he would switch sides on me.
I'd get to my knees and he'd push me back down.
Henry:
I played pretty defensive with him because I was too tired to do
otherwise. He gave me a lot of trouble. Every time I got him in a
semblance of half guard he would knee slide out of it. I was persistent
though and eventually got all the way to deep half. I was able to pull
off the deep half to double unders. I didn't last long on top though
and I ended up on the bottom after escaping a guillotine. I ended up in
an omoplata at one point from an over hook in guard I came so close but
could not figure out how to seal the deal. He ended up controlling my
hips and smash passing me down. I was pretty spent after this and we
just kind of quit.
Austin: My goal was to try to
get him with a triangle and I came pretty close, but was unable to lock
it up completely. He did a great job defending a lot of the stuff I
was throwing at him.
Mike (Lawyer): Mike was
working on some of the blue belt curriculum and I did my best to help
him and Bauer out. I had forgotten the guillotine against a wall
defense at first but Ross clued us in. We went over the rest of the
standing stuff. Mike and I rolled a little bit and it was a good roll.
I recall a butterfly sweep and some work with the overhook to
omoplata. He then asked me to quiz him on techniques from the blue belt
curriculum. I tried to keep it pretty flowy and if we were in mount
I'd have him do a mount submission like armbar and then flow to a guard
sweep, etc.
Adam: We went no gi because I didn't
feel like putting my gi-top back on after taking a break. I did fairly
well until he put me in side control. There were a couple times when I
passed his guard but he ended up recovering it right away. I made him
nervous with a few wristlock attempts but couldn't complete them.
