08.09.10 - Training

Woke up early to hit the gym.  This morning it was just me, Mike and "Older" Mike.  Got about 5 rounds in before having to shower up and get ready for work. 

No other highlights to add, other than the fact I need to work on my escapes when my opponent has my back.

Good interview with Jordan Schultz.

10 Round Monday

Today was 10 Round Monday. Mike, Jon, Ryan G., Gianni, Guido and Danny were there. I was able to roll with everyone once so I got 6 rounds in.

Couple of things to look into:

1. Get aggressive from the guard.
2. Guard passing needs to be tightened up.
3. OODA Loop!!!!

10 Round Monday

Got only 5 rounds in. Mike, Guido, Johnny and Josh were there. Lunch time training is gonna be tough because attendance is so spotty. Contemplating only going 3x a week at lunch to focus mainly on mat time.

Mondays - 10 rounds
Thursday - drill day
Friday - open mat

Then those days try and pull Mike aside and pick his brain about certain positions or moves as well as ask for advice on what to work on.

Notes:

X-Guard from Darce
- same side of arm inside is the leg to be inserted

Half Guard
- work more basic half guard
- look to work the foot drag / "old skool" sweep

Guard Passing
- watch Glover's 101 pass
- remember to control near side arm and control far side underhook
- focus on head placement and using hands to block the knee
