The Stronghold Opening

Rolled on opening day at the Stronghold.

-the Marcelo butterfly pass requires you to be postured with your head and torso up and to the opposite side of where you're passing. still vulnerable to a kimura, but less vulnerable to a guillotine or getting your back taken perhaps.

-crossing the legs in the air is a good counter to butterfly guard sweeps

-"floating on the legs" guard passing

-kimuras and guillotines!

-de la riva guard- i keep forgetting to grab the foot. much more control.

-attacking the turtle- guillotine/arm triangle variations open a route to the back sometimes

-darce choke to brabo is good

-guillotine with high guard to triangle choke is good too

-high guard with double shin control is a good position. need to develop it more.
