What’s up everybody? I was wondering when you step onto the mat for a sparring session, what’s your mindset? Survival and defense? Hunting submissions? Working on specific positions, methods? Or just rolling and reacting? Or something entirely different? 

For me, I’ve confronted this question every time. Survival, has been my default at all costs. I’ve found when attacking I get submitted or put into bad positions. So I work on my control. My intention is to roll to my partners body type. Take space away or give it. Get on their back or their side or attack where they’re not defending. I’m mostly defense and maintain base.

Besides those and many other thoughts I have a plethora of things I’m working on. Besides making it fun and not staying in my head.

Above all, after I step off the mat like I stepped onto it. I acknowledge that I am very fortunate to be doing this hard thing at my age. OSSS.

What is your favorite guard to play and why? 

For me it is half guard which has a bunch of sub-sets within half guard itself.  My game can stay close to the same between No-Gi or Gi and I don't lose a large subset of my game immediately without the grips.  It doesn't matter how large my opponent is, I can always wrap my legs around 1 of their legs.   It can slow the game down which is needed when going against good athletes.  Many more.

Also my class is starting up today, Monday 2/23 for No-Gi Study and we will be working on bottom half guard for those interested!
