Theme & Techniques: Standing Guard Break, Split Pass, Lumberjack Sweep
Partner: Bhuvana
Great class today. I'm slowly working my way into doing split pass while rolling. It's not completely a part of my game unless I just find myself there. There was quite a bit of concern with standing to break guard and avoiding the double ankle sweep. The lumberjack sweep is not my favorite. I seem to have a hard time keeping my guard closed through the whole technique. I especially focused on that today.
Rolling: Guard, Free Rolling
Rolled With: Bhuvana, John, Mike, Tom
Had a couple of things in mind while rolling. On the bottom if half guard occurred I was going to attempt Krab guard first and go to deep half if it failed. Then waiter sweep.
On top I wanted the guard break of the day or tozi pass.

We played around with krab guard for a while and I showed him my idea of going to it from a failed scissor sweep. I think it's doable.
We rolled a couple of times but it all seems to run together from rolling earlier. At some point I hit a shin sweep from deep half and turned it into single leg-x. I lost position when attempting to switch to full x-guard. He showed me that I should have reaped the knee to go for a heel hook or during the transition I should have pulled on his knee to keep him from back stepping.
There were a couple times when we were rolling in guard that a sweep happened but we didn't notice because we lost a sense of it from fighting for leg locks.
