Trained with Bamboo

Before we think I am a total slack ass for not training for two weeks, I want you to know I was on vacation. Yes, I was lazy and didn't train but I did go snowboarding for a week and drinking in Orlando with my wife for a week. But today, we got back to work.

The lesson today was to sprawl the leg!

We reviewed the last few lessons today - attacks from the guard, attacks from the mount and guard passing. Plus, we went over a few different things from half guard and more arm drag talk. Arm drag is my favorite! The two big things I took away from today was to make sure I sprawl the leg and give myself a solid base whether it is side or mount, I need to keep myself in attack position. All the while, I need to expect my opponent to try to get back into a better position - so be prepared. Then the other idea to take away, was the exact opposite. When my opponent is putting me into a bad position, I need to be prepared to escape and make the move!
