Haha I feel like we all have had this happen. You haven't been training long enough if it hasn't.

No advanced gi this week due to Prof Adam's workshop. He always has something great whenever he comes. Don't miss it!

I love the tripod sweep. 

Bekah Bradshaw it isn't a pause, because the pause is when someone will capitalize. It's taking a slower more controlled pace. 

I feel like often when moving quicker we tend to throw everything we can at our partners, instead think of it as being more intentional with your movements.

I feel there are probably 2 that have been the most impactful and regularly used.

First was Renzo Gracie, he showed how to avoid the bow and arrow choke. I use this often.

If you know me, no surprise. Pete the Greek, as it just burst the door wide open and wrist locks came rushing through!

Bekah Bradshaw lots of options. Pairs well with the ankle pick too!

I'd have to say some variation of a single leg.

Solid!

Pacing myself or relaxing was the biggest and earliest concept and mindset shift I've ever had. Early on a white belt I started noticing the guys who had just received blue belts before I started seemed on such a different level. With some reflection, I noticed they were relaxed, not spazzy, and had a solid pace. I still find this to hold true and even use it as a strategy. Sometimes I will go with someone younger and stronger who still tries to go 100mph. I let them work as hard as they want while staying in strong defensive positions and after 4 minutes they become gassed, then I go to work.
