Alright, Last night I got a chance for a semi private training session with two of my instructors plus my homie Elliot and one semi Noob.
After drilling guillotines from side control into guard and side control into half guard., We start working drills starting from side control.
I was rolling with Elliot ( blue ) Chris ( purple 2 stripes ) Todd ( Brown ) and Said Semi Noob ( white 1 stripe )
I forget sometimes that I rarely roll with anyone even remotely close to my skill level. Even during seminars and / or promotions I never roll with anyone around my level mostly low ranking blues. Long story short, I got a chance to roll with someone one rank below me last night. It took me by surprise how easy it was to control this guy, he had about 60lbs on me. I got him with 4 subs in a 3 min round. I clearly remember landing a nice armbar from side control, a cross grip collar choke from closed guard, and a guillotine from side control landing in half guard. The 4th sub is escaping me right now. I guess the point of the post is that I feel like my progression is going well, I have had two promotions in 6 months by Denis Kang. Jiu Jitsu Is the only thing on my mind at all times. I am hoping for a 2 stripe promotion next time. Making my quest for the blue almost within arms reach.
Thanks for Reading.
