Training sessions were good this week. Andre illustrated a beautiful sweep from the inside leg on Monday. The technique involved sweeping my leg inside then propping my hip to side and launching my opponent over. During the rolling session, I was able to roll with a strong and active training partner named Anthony. In addition to BJJ, Anthony was also quite adept at yoga and the skills were vividly shown as he moved with smooth fluidity; however, I nonetheless put on a formidable performance against him as I prevented his frequent triangle attacks. On Tuesday,me and Jimmy drilled out some arm drag techniques and put further emphasis upon the club head down attack. Later on in the session Joel showed up and went through an integral setup for the twister as well as a full on choke; consequently, it was a productive session. Onto Wednesday, Joel again went through twister from the back and the roll over the shoulder towards mangling the body; furthermore, Joel also taught an effective footlock after performing the capoeira pass. Friday, was a basic Judo work-out with an focus upon going below the center of an opponent's hips before throwing. Open mat at Dustin's and at Barum's made me further realized that I must stop giving away my back. After attendance at Dustin's session, I participated in an open mat session at my home studio and Joel showed a cool variation on the flying armbar coming via circling with the opponent. As Sunday rolled on, I once again had the honor of rolling with Baret Yoshida and he pinned me beautifully in the side-mount and I learned of the necessity of abstaining from telegraphing moves and when I perform a crucial move such as an escape or transition, I must go at it full force and relentlessly.Lastly, my new friend and training partner showed a fantastic way hitting the darce while opponent is in turtle position which involved falling onto my side and driving my opponent's head into my chest and hold a gable grip where my thumbs are loose and free.
