Bjj

Technique was a guard pass, standing with double knees grips, small side step and then lean over to spin their legs out, like when a bus driver turns a huge ass wheel and uses his whole body to reach.

Lots of guard pass drills. Rolling I felt like trash. Rolled a purple and got worked positionally but I defended well and I don't think I got tapped. Rolled crazy mike and held good position and hit a sweep but he defended well and there was no finish. Rolled thiago, a very friendly brown belt with good english, desperately tried to pass his guard to no avail.

Afterwards Thiago told me to do more pressure guard passes and less going around the legs. Showed me the typical pressure/backstep pass but with adjustments to stretch them further and to break grips and pressure fat. Easier said than done when all my pressuring turns into easy sweeps, but I'll try. Missed yesterday because my back was hurting, think it was the decline set ups or the hyperextensions so I'll get rid of that.

Technique was side control, transition to north south, kimura or fall off armbar. Did alright in rolling though I only got two rounds, an armbar sweep and pendulum sweep on a new blue that came in today, finally a ig guy near my level in the house, going to e a good training partner. Also rolled purple nemesis and managed to pass his guard a few times, ended the round on his back.

My back hurt like crazy friday/saturday, definitely need to watch it, luckily bjj doesn't seem to bother it so the show goes on.

Technique was side control to knee on belly with a grip on the collar with your crossface arm. Transition to nirth sotuh with a baseball choke, go back to side with a regular double lapel choke orswitch hands and bring the forearm around for an alternate laple choke.

Did one round positional sparring from side control and rolled.

Thiago the brown belt played good guard game as always and I fought to pass, almost getting it a few times, escaped a few sub attempts and I was saved by the bell from tapping to an armbar.

Another brown belt, smaller. I was aggressive and passed guard, knee on belly, got mount, held it awhile but couldn't get a collar grip and didn't want to risk falling off for an arm, almost got an arm triangle. He started to recovfer half guard and I took his back where he defended to the end of the round.

Third round was a black belt and again entire round was almost guard passes and him almost sweeping me. Finakky figured out how to break a troublesome grip he had on my leg and had the pass right at the end. Good ass class for me.

Tech was side control, knee on belly, nearside and far side armbars.

Got crushed in positional sparring from side control.

Only got two rounds today, brown belt I do well against and I had a half guard battle most of the round but I passed by the end. He tells me I'm getting better and better and calls me ''monstro gringo''. Got in another with a new blue belt that's come in from U.K., dude is technical and strong as hell, I was lucky to pass guard and get side and mount and take his back, but ****, dude was just feeling me out and is going to destroy me next time.

Drilled from side control for two rounds.

Rolled a purple belt who swept me and tapped me. Rolled a big blue but was stuck in his guard most of the round. Rolled another blue, big ******* american football player, he got me stuck in an inverted triangle and kimurad the arm, got a nice reverse scissor sweep at least.

Updates:
The Dragon has flown home a few weeks ago, promising to one day return to his classy lady.

Montana Mike left a couple days ago, he'll be back in a month or so.

Sheeha is packing as I write this. Sad =(

Crazy Mike was staying until August, but after recently impregnating a Brazilian girl, he rushes home to finish his "8 years of college" while he can.

Rebecca and I carry on. I feel like I got ahold of Sofia Vergara from Modern Family. And I like it.

Trained on friday but didn't record - birthday celebrations were in effect. Had a good time, got a bunch of video to put together, just need to get my hands on a proper computer for a few hours to make it presentable. Some pics will have to do in the meantime.

The Dragon and I during boxing sparring on our patio.He complained for many weeks that he had never been punched in the face and wanted to experience it. I was much obliged.



Bar shots with house friends



Birthday night out:





My favourite from a few weeks ago:



Feeling sick today, no training. Just a cold, but I have this theory that when you train at the onset your cold kicks in harder so I'll wait a day or two.
