Partner: Tom
Mike taught today and had some good insight on the techniques. Some tips on the techniques:
- Escaping, head control is huge. I like to drive with my head in the direction that I want to escape to.
- Backmount in general, harness grip is more important than hooks. Bring your wrist up higher more across their neck and use your elbows more to press against their shoulder and ribs. Use your chin on their shoulder.
- RNC, this is not an easy submission in the gi but it is one of the most used in MMA to finish. The part that I'm focusing on right now is getting under the chin and keeping it as I grab the shoulder.
Rolled With: Tom, Dave, Ben
Had some great rolls. I focused on going after what I wanted and being a little more aggressive with trying to get to the top position. Cardio held up pretty well. Mike and I rolled together after class and there were some 50/50 position moments that I felt lost with, but it's good practice.
