Theme & Techniques: Double Leg Takedown, Mount Upa Escape & Cross Collar Choke
Partner: Jesus
Good sized class today compared to the other day classes this week. Had a good time working with Jesus, he's got a great attitude! This may have been his first time doing a double leg so I took some time explaining the penetration step and let him take some of my reps. By the end he was getting it a little better and it helped yesterday's post hit home for me with how far I've come with this technique. Just trying to pass on the knowledge.
Rolling: Mount Position, Free Rolling
Rolled With: Jesus, Derek, Jordan
During rolling with Jesus I went over a little bit of what he wanted to accomplish in mount, from high mount to technical mount, and isolating an arm etc.
Had a good roll with Jordan like always. He's getting a lot tougher to pass and keep from passing.
Rolling with Derek has been a good experience as well. At first when he showed up I was a little nervous about losing to him because of how big he was and his wrestling experience. I know this is the wrong way of thinking and it's ego driven. I think on our first roll together it kept me from really trying anything for the fear of failure but since then I've loosened up a bit and accepted that the only way I'm going to improve is to allow myself to try and make mistakes and then learn from them. If I just play to not lose, it may work but I probably won't get much training out of it. Today when I ended up on the bottom I worked hard to maintain distance and use my legs more in the process.
