Last week of top control! Let’s work on staying heavy while executing this weeks techniques. Arm lock is one of the top submissions in MMA, so let’s go over the fine details to attack this submission successfully. See you at 6 am. 

Camaraderie 

Trash talking 

Constantly molding this ball of clay that is ever evolving. 

If someone says you have too many gi's tell them you don't need that kind of negativity in your life!

Which way is the match going, I feel if I force either one I'm going to make a mistake and end up on the wrong side of what i'm attempting.  I'd rather see what my opponent gives up and work an offense from there. 

Kassidy Camargo This is freaking awesome!!

Not letting it turn into a scramble. I want to escape and get into the most dominant position that I can. 

Absolutely.

From a self defense standpoint--I'm good on the ground and if we have to go there I want to be in the dominant position. 

From a BJJ sport standpoint--if my training partner doesn't want to start standin,g I'd rather work on a specific starting point than just kneeling. 

Closed guard!!

Born a Champion with Sean Patrick Flannery is a pretty good BJJ movie. If I remember correctly he did most of the legwork for that movie and he's a black belt.  

I kept hearing about it on podcasts and knew I wanted to try something different. After researching and asking around I came into Rol. Since I started I know it helps me think outside of the box when I come into issues at work. Also, I am more flexible/agile than most people my age so I get funny looks when I am able to fit into smaller spaces.
