Theme & Techniques: Shawn William's Guard: Armbar, Omoplata
Partner: Jess, Ben
Good training session on SW guard. I have yet to do this position effectively in rolling and I'm not sure why. Might be because I'm usually not in closed guard that often in no gi. It was nice to work on an omoplata technique during regular class as that doesn't happen often. We had a little trouble at first getting our legs in the right position to complete the armbar but it had to do with straightening our bottom leg to get their elbow to raise and then move the hips around to get the leg around the head.
Rolling: Closed Guard, Free Rolling
Rolled With: Jess, Mike
Had 2 rolls with Jess and did my best to take it to him. I think I'm going to start using him to improve my wrestling, aggression, and pressure game. He gives pretty good resistance and I do well playing guard with him, but I think it would be good for me to play more toward his strength to learn from it.
Mike is fight ready and we had a lot of scrambly type stuff with some light punching mixed in. He was especially hard to hang on to today.
Office Hours Partner: John
Great roll with John and he gave me more trouble today than he has in the past. There was a point when he was attempting to escape my side control and Mike kept telling me to heel hook him, but I didn't know what to do. He showed us the setup from the basic side control recover. I really need to get better at my leg locks. Mike showed us After rolling I showed him some of my north/south choke specifics and he seemed to like it.
