Theme & Techniques: Kesa Getami Escapes
Partner: Craig
Every time this position comes up I mention how much I hate it and hate working on it both top and bottom. Then I qualify it with, yes some people do it well and it's important to learn how to defend it, blah blah blah. But not this time, I'm going to avoid saying anything negative about this stupid position. But seriously, Fuck Kesa Getami, I hate it.
Conan had us do a couple of escapes besides the one from this week. Focusing on getting under their ribs and using other ways to get our elbow to the floor or control their far arm. He also showed a submission that I didn't know about from when they are trying get under your ribs, you can kind of kimura them by hooking their elbow.
Rolling: Kesa Getami
Rolled With: Craig, Jess
Felt decent about my bottom game, was able to keep my arm safe and maneuver my way around to eventually escape. Maybe some day I'll experience Ray's Kesa again to see how awful it can be. From the top I did fine, but when I started to lose the position I felt like there was no good way to recover besides trying to hang on to the position and get back to it.
Office Hours Partner: Jess, Conan
Had a good roll with Jess. One key thing that I took note of was at a point I had him in turtle and handed off his wrist to my other hand and basically did the lap belt turnover using his hand to take the back.
Had quite a fight with Conan with quite a struggle from deep half. He's been focusing on my free arm a lot I was able to sweep to top position but he eventually got me into his butterfly and swept me. Then he was really mean to me and eventually got me to tap out with an armbar. I asked him why he was being so mean afterwards and he basically laughed and said, "yeah I was being kinda douchey"
