BJJ Rolling Log
Technique: Hip escape from side control. I’m not sure if this is called a reverse shrimp or what, but it wasn’t a traditional shrimp. We used it to either get to our knees and try to take the back from side control or instead recompose guard. The instructor added some cool tips to avoid getting guillotined darce’d.
Rolling: I got paired with a newer blue belt. I tapped him quite a few times. I could tell he was getting frustrated and kind of hated that for him. I think his ego was getting involved about not having more even roll with me. I usually have this kind of success against him. I think I landed guillotine choke, crucifix choke, go go plata, short choke from back, heel hook, and calf slicer. The calf slicer was from the truck position. I’m kind of surprised how I seemed to go for some more 10th planet school style attacks today. Second guy was a white belt and I submitted him a few times with the north south choke, guillotine, short choke. I had him in a deep heel hook and he wasn’t tapping. I was not willing to actually hurt him and just let it go. I’m not ashamed to admit he caught me with an outside heel hook from 50/50. I was impressed, I need to be more wary of how far my legs get from my upper body. I was totally gassed the last 4 minutes and so was he, we kind of just trapped positions without much attack. All in all a good night since I’m just feeling better from being sick, I’ve had a cough for about 2 weeks now. I thought I was better last BJJ class, but I think the physical exertion triggered it again.
