Pretty small class today with only 4 of us. A few things that came up during class:
- For the head lock escape digging the toes in and sending their head forward was the most difficult part. This is a good skill to have though as it comes up with other techniques.
- After breaking the guard open I think about grabbing the collar and twisting it like a bully grip bringing my elbow closed on my thigh creating a wall against their leg.
- During the knee slide don't forget to grab the sleeve and pull it up to keep them from turning in.
Rolled With: Bhuvana, Morgan, Tom
I attempted to do 2 on 1 a couple times but everyone defended it well. My cross guard was always in my back pocket and I used it a couple times. From the top I was able to complete the guard break a few times but never was able to do a knee slide. I ended up having to stand and go for toreando or go to over/under.
Office Hours: No One Wanted to Stay
I just went to youtube and watched some of my first tournament matches. Holy crap was I shitty. So much has changed since then and it turned out to be difficult to watch. I don't move like that any more, I don't make those same mistakes or miss those opportunities. Kind of cool to see but cringe-worthy at the same time.
