Well I've obviously been slacking on my log here, but that's because I've got another one that I'm keeping track of at home. Instead of listing out the reps and techniques on things I'm just adopting IronMan's strategy of mentally reviewing the techniques and any thoughts I might have on any recent training sessions (if you haven't read IronMan's log... go here: http://www.mmaforum.com/training-log...nmans-log.html )

When reviewing techniques last week, I realized that few things get a "panic tap" outta me as quickly as an irregular guillotine. A regular standing or guard guillotine I know how long I have till it's tapping time. The technique we were reviewing was a guillotine when you're sprawled on a turtled opponent. With a seatbelt grip, switch to a guillotine grip (having your hands under the chin isn't necessary), sit on the guy's head and try to close your guard (it ends up resembling a piledriver... but your interlocked hands are like a noose around the guy's neck, if his chin's tucked you still get the blood choke... and it's all your bodyweight on his neck).

Stuff to work on:
I noticed that I am terrible at maintaining side control unless I'm working for a submission or moving to mount. If I'm rolling with someone that's scrappy and hard to hold down... I have to either immediately go for a submission or transition to either north/south or mount in order to keep control.

Stuff I did well:
When I break someone down in my guard and get rubber guard, my transitions are pretty quick. Once I get the arm isolated, I usually have no problem transitioning between omoplata, gogoplata, triangle, and armbar. My figure 4 armbar (from a missed armbar attempt) is also getting much smoother.
