MT: Tested for our orange sash. Asked a few things that I either hadn't heard in months, or had never heard before. Manu was frustrated, but understanding, I think. The most important things that I screwed up but make sense when I think about them are using a bicep tie and a neck tie, instead of a triceps hold. I think this confusion stems from when we do the pummeling drill, you keep your non-inside hand on the back of the tricep, but obviously, the opponent could throw an elbow easily from there and stop the fight. The other thing I screwed up was w/ a right neck tie, which knee would I throw to do the most damage to his face. The answer was the right knee, since if you throw the left knee, he can use his neck tie on that side to off balance you.
BJJ:
Worked moved from the overhook/opposite collar hold.
To get position, either control sleeve w/ same side arm, swim opposite arm under, while 'combing your head' w/ that sleeve and get deep grip, or break posture, and fish that overhook in there upon controlling posture.
Sweep from there. get overhook/collar, escape hips to that side, get near side butterfly, use free arm to prevent his arm from basing. lift near butterfly hook and follow to top or side control.
Choke from there. "", "", get grip w/ free hand on free hand side (behind neck), loop arm around and finish choke.
Junior and I worked on 'slow rolling'. We would try to gently use technique to get a dominant position, get in position to finish, then relent the position and allow the other person to work to a dominant position. I think it went well. Douglas went with us, and this is how he rolls nearly every time with us, except he always wins :) . It's so nice to have the chance to think. I was able to pull off some sweeps and setups that I probably wouldn't have been able to realize I had otherwise. I wasn't totally wasted after training either, which is nice. It seems to go in cycles, I'll feel like I'm dead after some training, and other times, I could go home and jog. Not sure why. Might have to do with diet or sleep. I'll continue to pay attention to this.
Wednesday: MT
Did a standard workout, then had the orange sash ceremony. Manu was pissing off the pro fighters because he made them wait for our ceremony to conclude before training them. I see their point, but we keep the lights on and doors open. The pros bring prestige, I guess. But meh...
Thursday: BJJ
Worked entering inverted guard: cross sleeve grip, underhook free hand on near thigh, now you're upside down under opponent, get spider hook on same side as sleeve control. grab other sleeve and get spider hook there as well, off balance and upset opponents guard.
triangle from inverted guard - once in I.G., get both feet on one of the biceps. rotate head towards side of feet, lift off one of those feet, and shoot for a triangle.
sweep from spider guard (sort of?) - from spider guard, put shin across chest (knee out), keep other spider hook, as opponent passes, get underhook on knee out side, pull weight onto you, angle is super important. don't drive towards your feet, but across the body or over the shoulder.
Sunday - 4 miles w/ dogs.
