Used this yesterday to fight off a 20 year old man by sprawling on him whenever he shot until I could pull closed guard and spam submissions. I would love to figure out how to successfully shoot on people bigger than me though. Pipe dream?

A bit gassed at open mat today following a Concept 2 erg workout of the day. Getting good results with my chinstrap as a setup to guillotine or smash to side control. Learned it’s a bad idea to eat spicy peanuts before rolling

Training log, gi: worked a few motions and attacks from sit-up guard into knee cuts, side control and mount. Sparring was 8/9 five minute rounds. Spent most of the time attacking from open guard and side control but also tried for some smooth, controlled sweeps from butterfly and half guard (middling success rate).

Clinic with an Olympic gold medalist wrestler in a nutshell: Use a comfy good stance and don’t lose that stance because it will block 2/3 of attacks.

Someone tried to start a fight with me tonight, but sometimes projecting the confidence of knowing how to fight is enough to get the other person to back off. The art of self defense.

Training log, no-gi: drilled some Uchi Mata throws into quarter guard, then incorporated a back step into the saddle position and some leg attacks from there (achilles lock, Aoki lock). We also looked at a rolling back take from a saddle position escape, as well as a rolling saddle entry from the Uchi Mata position. Sparring was 10 x 5 minute rounds, as usual. A few fast-paced, scramble-filled rolls mixed with some more balanced, steady rounds, plus a round being on the receiving end of some real sneaky foot attacks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evmsOeYxxzc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-9-KpVAH1k

Training log, gi: worked on a few passes from HQ / mission control—knee cuts, switch and staple etc.—and capped it off with a rolling entry to a loop choke. Sparring: nine x five minute rounds. Took a few rounds to mentally lock in, at which point I managed to bruise my wrist. This meant a fun constraint for the remainder: no posting or framing with my left hand and minimal gripping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCGLrC6q2yM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNASDxyjcAA

Finding the rhythm for training logs once more... Training log, no-gi: technical session was focused on a bunch of passes, all starting from mission control / headquarters. Included a knee slide, a leg staple into a step over / glide, a post to the shoulders followed by a kickback and into mount, and a hybrid glide-leg split thing which I can't easily describe. Sparring was, as usual, 10 x five minute rounds. 2/3 I worked from top position (mostly moving through side control, turtle and open guard via scrambles). The rest I played from bottom, mostly in the range of half / quarter guard and mount / side control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quM3u9Jxthg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcjo1LI4LKw
