Partner: Derek, Bob
Busy with work lately, so I don't feel like I've been doing this blog justice. I don't have much to say about the technique portion of the class. Just little things for the techniques of the week:
- Head Lock Escape: Try to spin your opponent around during the takedown instead of trying to drag them straight down
- Kneeling Guard break: Keep your thigh as vertical as you can for as long as you can before stepping back.
- Single under pass: Take it in 3 different directions, push straight in using your toes. Once they can kiss their knee turn 90 degress, push straight again to push their knees to the side.
Rolling: Guard Up/Down/Out
Rolled With: Bhuvana, Derek, Bob, Dave, Andy, Harvey
Had great fun rolling today and had some good success. I attempted the single under pass a few times and had to abandon it a few times for over/under. In closed guard I feel like I've been researching transitions between 2 on 1 and cross guard. I'm not sure if I should feel guilty because it's my a-game or if I should be trying to work something else, but I don't feel stagnant with the progress right now so I'd like to keep working it.
During my last roll with Andy when I was on the bottom I attempted to setup the baseball bat choke from the bottom. Mostly to try to get him with his own technique. He said I almost had it, but I couldn't figure out a way to make it any tighter. He went over some specifics about setting it up and some troubleshooting that he does.
