Adv No Gi is a fun week.  I am back from vacation also.  Getting into some overback or octopus escapes.  If you haven't messed with that position before, don't miss out this Friday.

No Gi Adv. will be continuing on with the Pin Escapes block.  We will finish up far underhook escapes and then dive into the near underhook escape.

If you could only train one submission for a year, what would it be and why?

Mine is the kimura.  You use it for submissions, passing, or control.  You can use it from so many different types of guards, side, mount.  You can do them with your arms or legs.  Super versatile!

Switching to bottom side control this week for Adv. No Gi.  It sucks being smashed on bottom, so we will be spending some weeks building a plan to figure out how to escape that pin.

Adv No gi will be continuing on Pin Escapes.  Doing a quick review of last week and then getting into Side Control.

New block starting is pin escapes in No Gi Adv.  Since we have been working on bottom half guard, starting with escapes from bottom half when things go wrong and you are flattened and getting smashed by your partner.
