That’s the same way I drive at work!

Agreed, drilling and feeling different weight pressures can be beneficial. 

Definitely agree, defending and escaping it helps feel my opponents weight distribution.

I recently watched a video that showed the Blue Angels doing a drill called “chair flying”.

They sit in chairs, close their eyes, and go through the entire sequence of the show they are about to perform.

So my question is; Do you ever drill or spar with your eyes closed? There are a lot of situations that require us to feel our opponents weight distribution so we can pull off a sweep or technique.

If you’ve done this, has it helped? 

If you haven’t, would you try it? 

I started doing this about a year and a half ago and it helped my sweep game tremendously.

Using power vs. feeling my opponents weight and using it to my advantage or their disadvantage. For a long time I was using a ton of power to try and escape. 

In very slow progression I started hanging out (preserving energy), and let my opponent make a mistake or use mechanics to get the escape.

Current favorite person to watch is Adam Wardzinski.  I really like a lot of his foot sweeps and reversals.

Don’t be a jive turkey and think you should slack on your fundamentals this week!

Trap-bridge-roll, the first technique i attempt whenever I end up in full mount. 

I’ll be going over the small details that set me up for success whenever I attempt this technique!

We've got 2 variations for single leg take downs this week, make sure you don't miss it!

That's a good one! Once that choke is done to you, you're always aware of it being used. 

Not a surprise since you did a whole workshop on triangles!
