Gi with Ferret

While I had class, Leland trained with Midget. Funny thing is, they were working on the same thing we were. Guard passes and loose guard. Tonight was a review of the things we have been working on the last few weeks. I made a dumb mistake from half-guard, for some reason I wasn't thinking clearly and tried a pass - facing the wrong direction. Ferret was giving me a hard time, but I had a total mental breakdown. So we reviewed the pass from half-guard, plus added to it. Tonight's class was good, even though I consistently get beaten by Ferret wrapping my gi around me. I was relaxed and it made its way through in to my jits. That is the biggest accomplishment to date, just relaxing and then exploding when I need to. I will continue to work on that and get better. I want to have that easy relaxed flow that Travis has then explode with power just like he does.
