dojo quest beginnings

been frustrated lately due to injuries to the neck and ankle. it's causing me to slow down, and definitely humbling me.

visited team magnitude in the first of the summer dojo quest series.

techniques reviewed-
-baseball bat choke
-variations

-brabo grip step over choke

----------

game seemed to work out pretty well. lately practicing transitions. gotta get the strength up, though. once i heal completely, i feel like i'll be able to ramp up to the next level.

some epiphanies

some things-

-super de la riva is awesome
-connectors from super de la riva are the missing links!
-sit up guard is critical
-loop chokes are also critical
-spider guard is ridiculously good

-upside down guard recovery is critical

-need to work other side DLR and the rest of the open guard series
-need to work weak side passing
