Start of a new block for me.  Starting all things kimura's.  If you were there for my workshop on Saturday, you will have a good head start into the block.  A lot more to get into though.

Hard to narrow it down to one as there are many from different positions.  Big one from me is from one of my first instructionals I got from Tom DeBlass's half guard.  "Head over head, and hips over hips".  If playing the bottom half guard underhook game, am I forcing my partners head and hips over mine.  Success rate went up so much controlling the posture from there and let me down the path of diving into half guard for years to come.

Adv No Gi - 2nd week of the back control block will continue on keeping and recovering back control.  We can't do all the fun submissions, if we can't keep back control.  Hope to see you there.
