Back to the fundamentals- triangle and spinning armlock from guard

No Gi class-

warmups-

pummelling for double underhooks.
20 spinning armlocks from the guard
20 triangles from the guard

it's good to drill these to ensure that you are getting enough reps.

rolling

the same sequence worked for the majority of the night.

top game-toriani or 101 pass, side control, let them underhook, execute a brabo choke. the brabo choke worked great tonight. one thing i am learning to do is anticipate the escape attempts and brace to ensure that i don't get reversed. i KNOW its coming, so i should be prepared as soon as i start to pass. control, control, control!

when playing bottom, i tried to setup an arm drag, x guard, or de la riva to single leg. that was enough to get my opponent on the defense rather than trying to pass. sometimes i did catch the sweep or land a successful armdrag. i was constantly trying to attack the 10 finger guillotine, with limited success. it wasn't getting deep enough to tap someone.

standup training

getting more comfortable on my feet.

a few things to clean up-

-setting up the shot. touch the head and change levels first?
-strong elbow to prevent the duck under! i leave it semi limp sometimes.
-single leg to "running the pipe." head low and small steps.

a pretty good sequence i got going-
-shot to single leg, leg drag, duck under, marcelo feet in bend of knees, topple to take the back.

one thing to keep in mind is RELENTLESSNESS.
