Partner: Jess
Tips on techniques of the week:
- Guillotine Defense: Once you've regained your posture, keep it. Don't let your posture lapse and allow them to drag you back down.
- Kneeling Guard Break: One thing that Mike pointed out that I've noticed others doing is focusing more on the elbow between the legs rather than the hand on the hip to keep them down.
- Double Under Pass: Mike and I discussed coming forward to stack, where I've been advocating pulling them back exclusively. We talked about keeping low as you come in which I'll have to play around with.
Rolling: Guard
Rolled With: Jess, Ben, Bob
I was a little too lazy today. Not that I went easy on anyone but I wasn't pushing the pace or imposing my will. Ben was able to keep me from opening his guard with good hand fighting. Bob was able to get to double unders and pass right at the buzzer.
Office Hours Partner: Bob, Tom
After class the topic of hook kicks came up and everyone, including me, were showing off their kicks. My flexibility felt pretty good for not kicking for a while.
Bob helped me with some more details on tia toshi. Mostly around keeping my posture and bending my knees more.
Tom and I rolled and I spent a good portion of the roll on his back as he defended. I felt like I had the most control with my bottom hook in and then crossing my other foot between his legs. He's really good at defending the back.
