BJJ Rolling Log
We actually did some warm up and stretching today. I liked that since I hope to burn some calories and not get hurt when I can. I think the instructor here stopped doing that as to not deter people who are in poor shape or something. We worked on mount retention and mount escape techniques.
Rolling we rotated partners every 5 minutes. My first partner didn’t really want to roll so we flow rolled. I think he’s trying to take it easy his health hasn’t been great. Second partner I got subbed with an Americana. He was breathing hard when it was said and done and I didn’t feel drained at all. Maybe I should have tried to match his energy to prevent the sub, but I need to work on my guard retention after that one. Third person we were pretty even, neither of us subbed the other. I had a choke mostly sunk in from the back, but he defended well. Fourth guy was a 2 stripe purple belt and I subbed him with an omoplata for the first time. That was a big win for me, but he did tap me 4 times to the 1 tap I had on him. The last guy was a white belt that I caught with a north south choke and arm triangle. Overall a good rolling day. My wrist is still sore, but not too bad. I felt good about my arm triangle that I did better than some of my other attempts. I had a goal of trying to heel hook someone this class before it started, but I actually did not have any attempts.
