slip and slide

no gi class.

technique- hip twist guard break, double underhook pass

pin hip and chest, step opposite side foot up into opponent's armpit and move to knee on stomach while pinning hip. guard should break.

move to double underhook pass. same as with gi, but grab shoulder and opponent's foot for grips.

rolling
worked guard vs. much more powerful opponents. broke down posture well, attacked arms as always, tried to set up triangle. always reacted quickly when opponent tried to pass- by countering ASAP and following up with attacks, opponents weren't able to pass. sweeps weren't doing much. very difficult to finish a lot of moves tonight with no gi.

figured out counter to the arm under back pass- shin in arm as they grab (like triangle setup). pretty sure a triangle is sitting there somewhere too.

took the back a bunch on a few opponents, couldn't finish the RNC. maybe not fast enough today.

there seems to be a few moves that work better in no gi- triangle, rnc, guillotine, arm triangles, bent arm locks. spinning arm locks, omoplatas, and whatever else are hard because of lack of secure grips.

vs. ricardo, i didn't get as dominated as i usually do. tried to maintain head control, take the back, set up some arm triangle variants. defense was too good. vs. the pass, i tried to move the head as much as possible to decent effect. eventually got passed by airtight passes.
