Nice clip below found on Youtube…

Positional Drills: (50% & 75% resistance)

Everyone had an opportunity to work this with everyone, and then they alternated between being in the closed guard, defending, or attacking with only cross collars.

We then discussed a few defenses to the collar choke… a nice video below by Stephan Kesting discussing other potential defenses…

3 Purple Belts and 2 Blue Belts on the mat… just saying!

Had my monkey at work all day… 5 month old…lol

wpid-fb_img_1424065906184.jpg

Got to LEMMA around 5:30 pm… homies were OTM!!

wpid-fb_img_1427804219721.jpg

Josh, Big Red, Big Rig, Alex the bear, Morgo, and the Frenchman… I was the odd man out… blah.

First roll was with Morgo..o oops sorry bro, accidental knee to the chin, cut his tongue.

BLOOD I see blood… tuck the head in bro when you work that pressure pass…

WEAR A MOUTH GHU-WHARD… lol

What a trooper, sorry brother… great technical roll though. Man I remember our first roll, freck we trained sooo much since… your game has improved leaps and bounds. Your flexibility was your strength, however it was your weakness, now you are working your top game… before the random scattered unfocused, thoughtless and insecure moves… to now, being a force to be reckoned with. I do remember you almost quitting BJJ. Great job homie. I remember our first tournament together, ever since that, there has been no looking back. Heck, for the both of us us!! future Black Belts!

Switched to Scotty too hotty, mid roll to let him heal lol...

Big Red, holy-moly… the explosion buddy… just have to be less telegraphing… maybe a relaxed approach with all of your strength and raw power. Building sensitivity and rolling to conserve energy for your next match may be something to think about, especially being conscientious of preparing for a tournament, with having maybe a round to recuperate, unless there is only one other guy in your division… not every roll is too the death. Nice though, once in a while, I like it, a life or death situation…lol I love rolling with you buddy, keep it up! tough rolls help me keep my head in the game. Sorry bout the pant leg. You should have let me pass… my torreando is immaculate at times hahaha.

Scotty too hotty… I see the frustration when I take your back. Your back control defense has improved a lot, well done sir. Keep on trucking!!

Josh Deluca what can I say, when I get you on your back, that’s the only way I can, one up you… sooo frecken strong… I strong like bull…osss

Man, my knee is bruised and my shin is still bruised DAFACK!!!

  4. Josh, partial

NIOCE…

Got some mat time with big white belt Colin… 220 lbs.

He’s improving damn, so strong and big. Grips and strength are BOOM-digity-DATA.

30 minutes with this big boy!

wpid-fb_img_1428547599838.jpg

Open mat prior to class was in the cage…

He definitely has cage awareness lol,

kept putting me into the fence. Used it well lol

Coach Matt was sore today, so good old David Letourneau aka “Diesel ” ran the show last night…

I partnered with Nathan the Professor X… slick dude slick…

Minus the fact your stubble sticks to my GI hahahaha

Class Warm-up: (Arm-bar Drilling, 2 mins each)

  1. Standard Arm-bar, from closed guard
  2. Fat Man arm-bar, from closed guard

Lost in arm-bars… in fact 4 variations, mainly fat man ones, at least that what i call them, with different entries, grips, and options in attacking the the opposite arm for the omaplata and even just sweeping. Then we rolled with 3 min rounds. I find the 3 min rounds are the bruisers… everyone seems to go sooo freaking hard crazy crazy…

Rolling: (3 min rounds, 30 sec break)

  1. Diesel
  2. Travis Duncan
  3. Brittany
  4. Michael Maronese

Someone had the most stanky ass GI… thought it was me.

NOPE!

Not sure who… Wash that shit homie!

smelly GI meme
