 The sessions this week proved to be progressive and bountiful. On Tuesday's wrestling session, Jimmy illustrated two fundamental aspects that can be entered into my wrestling skillset. First, upon the entry for the single leg there is the point of dragging the arm downwards and then fully conducting the attack of the single-truly awesome set-up. Second, there is the point having my head chucked down while opponent grasps my chin and from that point I specifically grab the opponent's four fingers, pinch the opponent's elbow, straighten the arm and circle out, then from this point onwards, I wait for opponent to circle out around me and when he comes around I attack underhook leg or for the ankle pick. Wednesday had me doing a morning class with Joel followed by a very long roll session. In the technique section,Joel illustrated a simple technique of moving the opponent's knee's over then switching my hips, falling on my opponent's thigh/hip area and initiating the pass. In rolling, I rolled with Jon for about a good 40 minutes whereupon I learned of some points with the closed guard break which constituted keeping my head directly centered upon the opponent's midsection and allowing myself to work my arms upwards and break the close guard. Thursday held a midday no-gi rolling session with nothing much to report other than I got to work on keeping on top with smoother jitz and continually ascertain methods of stopping the back attacks. Friday, I learned of more Judo techniques with Mark and learned of strategies for continually hitting the Tai-Otoshi. Most transparent method can come about through a point when the opponent bends down in avoidance of the throw then you sidestep inside while arcing the inside elbow upwards into the armpit whilst snapping the sidearm upwards at the same time. Additionally, the formidable Tai-Otoshi throw can be sought via as the opponent steps around an initial attack and from there a final successful attack can be rendered. Saturday, was another rolling session whereupon I learned that my stand-up is improving but I additionally learned of the importance of waiting for the opponent's reaction before going to attack and is especially pertinent with the inside sweep from the butterfly guard.Sunday, was a hard rolling session, where I learned of my weakness in hitting the leg drag,perhaps more research is needed. Furthermore, through rolls with David, I was able to learn that when I am in advantageous positions or positions where escapes may occur, I must explode with a significant degree of ferocity and escape from the disadvantageous position.I also had the additional honor of rolling with Paul Silva and he absolutely murdered me, so I have a lot of things to work on.
