Sparring was good today. Big Mike mentioned that my footwork gets me introuble quite a bit. So more shadow boxing w/ an eye for footwork and positioning. I'll also keep concentrating on that in sparring, as well as entering the clinch, and offbalancing/knees

Tuesday: 183lbs

BJJ:
arm drag:
cross collar, same side sleeve grip, open guard, trap legs to ground using opened guard. get 2on1 grip on sleeve, and opposite foot on hip. drive off that hip and escape hips to 2on1 side, as he pressures back, slip that foot off hip while pushing 2on1 away and post on that arm, keeping it on the mat. come to seatbelt grip, work the back.

collar choke from back:
from 2on1, reach around w/ near arm to under opposite arm, use close arm to open lapel, and grab w/ near arm, then grab w/ far arm the opposite lapel, pull to rear mount and finish, or work clock choke.

rolling:
We drilled open guard, I rolled like a bag of dicks. Very disappointed in my performance. Constantly getting swept from open guard. I think it's my shitty combat base or something. I need to watch some videos and figure out what I'm doing wrong. I got scissor swept like 5 times. fuck.

Wednesday: rested due to burnout feeling. Drank a lot of Gin and Tonics. Feltgoodman.

Thursday: BJJ
Opening guard: lapel hold, belt hold, elbows tight and in, knee in butt, other leg sprawled back and down, side w/ knee in butt should be side that has lapel hold, keep downward outward pressure on that hip/leg, turn hips away to increase pressure, pop guard open, keep good pressure on that bottom leg, pass a knee over, and get to 1/2 guard or side control.

1/2 guard pass: from gable grip behind head w/ underhook on far side: pass near arm over body, under his far armpit, switch hips to face away, drive his legs down as you shimmy your knee out. if possible, get ankle out and get full mount. If you get stuck, turn hips back towards his face while scooping far elbow up, and gable grip around his head and arm, sticking yourself to him and nullifying his arm. Use free leg to help pry ankle free.

nogi:
opening guard: staggered arms, keep hips on ground, knee in butt, other leg open like a door, pry that leg down on the side of 'open' leg, get center leg up

pass: if he goes to butterfly hooks, push hook in, and step around to foot up in middle, use that center knee to cut either across or to same side. get underhook on leg where it helps, keep peeled knee down and use that to step other leg over.

if he gets knee in: shove knee out of the way., go for underhook on far side to retain control.

The fight comes in from gaining the underhook, if bottom guy gets it, he can get to the back, if top guy gets it, he can flatten out bottom guy. That's the fight. Also, I can't be stalling in scrambles, I have to keep moving.
