Monday 1/30/12
















Class tonight focused on Passing Spider Guard.

Key Points

Grab inside of knee area
Move confidently
Like a dance
Come into their chest, cross face, knee in to keep them from rolling out

My Rolls

Bill - 1st roll
I was tired from the weekend, tried to pass, some success, moving well, tapped twice from mistakes.

Justin - 2nd roll
Good bottom game, good foot work, grips

Chris - 3rd roll
Strong roll, moving well, pin from weight, need to work on opening guard more

James - 4th roll
I have a lot of respect for his wrestling background, use grips, closed gaps, sunk bow & arrow but couldn't finish, I let him have too much North South.

Thoughts

I was tired from weekend, sore from playing X-Guard in technical workout, but finished strong on the rolls.  Still not sure if the upper belts are rolling at full speed with me.  Need to work harder for dominate position and go for more submissions.
