grappling

Training log, no-gi: worked on a few things from half guard. First, a roll-under back take from the bottom. Second, an entry into deep half and a waiter sweep. Third, a back take in response to the opponent defending the latter stage of the waiter sweep.

Sparring was mostly calm and composed. Several sessions with juveniles and new-ish practitioners meant a mix of light/fast movement and guided rolls. Also included a couple tougher rolls with a nice balance of attacking, defending, and straight-up holding out till the timer ran down.

Gratis for the kind words, sir.

Knee bars and toe holds from knee cuts sound juicy!

Also wondering: how come ya prefer no-gi to gi?

You do substantive, reflective training logs

Mine today was going to be: gi

Drilled knee bars and toe holds from knee cut pass. Then 7 rolls of mediocre quality. Reinforced how much I prefer nogi.
