• Work on getting better grips and stronger wrists.
• When mounted, consider the Americana instead of the front choke.
• Remember Dominic's back defensives, the key concept is to turn facing the opponent's knees. Well, this might depend on their grips, because they could take your back(?)

Steve thinks my BJJ is fine and cannot discredit it. I think he also thinks I'm "quiet" and states keep coming to class.

2nd stripe on my Blue!

Steve Gable awarded me with my 2nd stripe on my blue belt today! Good to know I'm heading in the right direction. ;)

1st Stripe - Blue Belt!

Alex awarded me with my first stripe for my blue belt. Alex has been teaching class this week because both Professor Dominic Parker and Steve Gable are out due to broken legs. Dominic was in an motorcycle accident and Steve fought in Bellator 55 against Ricardo Tirloni.

Here's a link to the fight.

What we learned this week:

• "Steering Wheel" one leg takedown
• Half-guard escape to side control.
• North-South choke
