BJJ and Muay Thai

1 hr BJJ
1 hr MT

In BJJ we went over passing the guard with a knee slide over the thigh again.  After, we drilled the Omoplata submission.  I now know 3 different submissions and they are all shoulder/shoulder-elbow locks.  I still haven't had an opportunity to use them in sparring because I'm just trying to survive.  Just survive.

Today I survived in the turtle position for the first time.  I was rolling vs a blue belt and he couldn't do much I was set.  I made a mistake a went for a leg and the blue eventually turned my mistake into a choke.  Whoops!  To me, being a white belt is all about mistakes... and surviving.  I almost worked in an Americana on one of my rolls vs another white belt, however he muscled out of it and instead of muscling back i let his arm free... I figure I need to know the technique and I am trying to retard myself until I have some techniques DOWN.

So I've been avoiding using my wrestling stuff (most of the time). I still use it for takedowns.

A blue that I rolled with my very first time (my very first blue) rolled again with me today.  Afterward he said that I am much better than when I started!

BJJ

1 hr BJJ

Went over Guard passing with a knee slide over their thigh while hooking the ankle of your sliding leg with your other foot.  This is so your opponent cannot  hook your non sliding leg preventing the complete pass.

Learned the Kimura sub from side mount with an armlock variation if they panic straighten their arm.  I went exceptionally slow to learn the technique.  First I force their far arm to their far side with my far arm, my hand pinning his by the upper wrist (important).  Next I push myself up his torso moving slightly toward perpendicularity.  I weave my left hand under his far arm from above his elbow and grip my far arm's wrist while pull/trapping his arm tight to his side.

Next I switch my hip position and throw my free leg up in the air to build momentum.  As my leg swings down I sit up with the lock and force his wrist toward his head SLOWLY so he has time to tap.
