October 27th 2016 - Gi All Levels

Theme & Techniques: Koshi Guruma, Standing Guard Break, Torreando Pass
Partner: Bob

Tips for techniques of the week:
  • Koshi Guruma: Try not to grab anything with the arm that's around their neck just make it a fist and squeeze their head.
  • Standing Guard Break: The answer is on the ceiling.  Get your grips keep your posture as you stand and pull up on their sleeve.
  • Torreando Pass: We did a cool variation today that Greg said the ATOS guys do.  If they grab your ankle as you stand to break you turn your foot and walk to the side, then push their knees to the other side as you walk back in.  Hard to explain in text I guess.
Rolling: Guard, Free Rolling
Rolled With: Bhuvana, Jess, Jordan

Bhuvana did some good things and was setting up a nice tozi pass before time ran out.  I gave her some pointers on it later, because she needed to switch her hips at the end in order to open the guard.  Jess has some good instincts and is doing well, I think he may need to slow down a bit and think about things as time goes on.

Did some experimenting with cross guard that worked out pretty well.  Jordan was doing a good job at posturing and I tried to hang off of him more and bring my cross guard up kind of high.  It felt like I was playing around with the position a bit and was able to have some fun with it, if that makes sense.

Office Hours Partner: Greg

We worked a bit on a throw that Greg and Bob were working on.  Kind of Makakomi o-soto gari to kimura throw.
