Theme & Techniques: O-Goshi, Closed Guard Cross Choke & Armbar
Partner: Bob
Worked with Bob today and got to experience his Judo. I can't articulate what he does differently than the average person but there were a couple things I noticed. My shoulder seemed to hit the ground sooner or the floor would come quicker. I'm not sure if that's a product of how he leans or how he's doing it, but it seemed like he was driving me downward instead of throwing me on my back. His hip movements were a lot more snappy, where he would kind of run into me and bump me quickly before the lift. I might ask him to critique some of my throws if we have some time before or after class in the future.
Rolling: Guard Position & Free Rolling
Rolled With: Bob, Sam, Brian G, Greg, Ben
Good day of rolling seemed to go by too quickly though. I was able to complete a few triangles today really working on avoiding getting stacked, shoulder walking, getting a hold of my shin, and pushing on the hip. I played some cross guard and 2 on 1 which seems to be my bread and butter lately. They're so comparable to each other.
I rolled in the guard with Greg and setup 2 on 1, went out to butterfly, attempted the back take, he tightened up so I went for butterfly sweep and got it! Yeah I swept Greg, only I didn't because as soon as he fell to his back he jumped right back up and I was in guard again. Oh well, I'll count it as a win for the day. He was attempting the tozi pass and I would defend it by pushing his head away, then he would try the pass again, eventually he got it. From the top I don't remember doing much good. I tried the tozi pass too but didn't come close. Later on Greg said I should keep my butt down a little more.
