6-7p: Self defense. Bully headlock up against wall. Escape to take down to ankle lock from standing position. Mount choke attack and transition to seated mount when opponent employs typical choke defense. Another choke option from seated mount. Arm bar if the choke isn't happening.
7-7:20p: Warm-up / standard drills. Professor Marco had us do additional hip escapes, but with a partner stepping around guard to simulate pass. Traditional hip escapes and a variation that requires brining in a hook with outside leg to help square up to open guard.
7:20-7:30p: Sweep / pass the guard. Got a couple flower sweeps (one Blue Belt and one 3-stripe White Belt) and sweep off a pass (Blue Belt). Had great difficulty maintaining posture when trying to pass Dr. Steve's (Blue Belt) guard. Result = got swept. Got my arm trapped during failed pendulum sweep when working with Rusty (Brown Belt). Result = stack pass.
7:30-8p: Repeat of closed guard submissions taught on Monday. Cross choke, arm bar, and kimura from the same basic closed guard set-ups. Over 20 in class today as opposed to 6 or 7 on Monday. More than happy to see techniques repeated in the same week.
8-8:30p: Rolls. 5 minute rounds. Neal (Blue Belt), Noor (3-stripe White Belt), Aaron (Blue Belt), and Rick (Purple Belt). Happy with performance tonight. Several technical escapes. Mounts, back attacks, some north south work. Couple good chokes. Armbar transition to omoplata. Almost tapped to one of Aaron's chokes. As I was about to tap, he must have shifted position because blood began to flow again. Learned the most from Rick. Got crushed. Tapped to a choke, kimura, couple arm bars. Had a nice mount escape to half guard and almost executed a deep half sweep, but got stuck.
8-8:35p: Stretched.
