Theme & Techniques: Standing Guillotine Defense to Von Flue, Half Guard with Underhook: Take the back, Regain Guard
Since there were uneven groups and I'm a big time important instructor, I didn't really partner up today but helped with the techniques. Probably the detail I helped with the most was pulling their body across to help with getting back to full guard.
Rolling: Half Guard, Full Guard, Open Guard, Free Rolling
Rolled With: Craig, Morgan, Jesus, Jess
I tried to be flowy today and also played a bit of lasso guard.
Morgan just recently returned and I was impressed that he still knows stuff. He still has some guard skills and did a good job avoiding my passes and hunting triangles.
I was playing some loose open guard with Jesus, and he jumped on a nice straight ankle lock. I was in trouble but he just didn't have my toes in the right place and putting the boot on saved me. I will have to take him a little more seriously going forward.
Office Hours Partner: Jess, Conan
Rolled with Jess a couple times and my goal is to break him of his always move forward in his opponent's closed guard to stack. I think it works for him a little bit against white belts as he's decent at stacking but it would serve him a little better to work on breaking open the guard with posture.
Conan and I had a couple of good rolls. I tried to relax a little bit and look for stability in framing. I had a pretty well timed side control escape that he was impressed with. In the process of attempting to pass his guard at another point he turtled up and had control of my far arm and we had a circular battle trying to get top position. I ended up gassing soon after that.
Just saw a totally awesome deep half to calf cutter that I can't wait to try.
