This sounds like rolling with Coach Dom or Professor Russ!

With Dom, he is always attacking. I successfully fend them off until I can’t keep up, end up out of position and make a bad decision and I’m tapping.

Professor Russ is like the Japanese Game Show of open mat: he never rewards your progress but immediately, and extremely punishes your shortcomings!

What IS WORKING for you?

It seems like lots of time we ask for advice on how to fill in gaps in our game, but rarely do we ask what is going well. Rather than be determined to force our way down a specific path, maybe there are paths to consider.

I’ve been having success by focusing on attacking to dictate a specific response in order to control my opponent’s reaction and use that response to control their posture. This opens up so many possibilities without focusing on a specific guard or submission.

I like all these ideas… let’s get them on the calendar!

I would ask that we learn establishing the pass. Too many times I do all the work to open and pass just for my partner to get in a knee shield or capture one ankle and work back to a full guard. It’s very frustrating (Russ)!!!!

Control by pressure.

Getting smashed can induce panic if the pressure is correct. If you are being controlled and can’t do anything, there is an utter helplessness that creeps in. That’s what your kids experience when they start and roll with someone like Jacob. But they keep coming back and they find comfort and calm in that same position and they have a path to get out.

Communication is super important. It’s not uncommon for me to end up in a an unfamiliar position when rolling with an upper belt. If that happens, I say “stop! I’m not sure what to do from here.” 100% of the time my partner has stopped and explained what they were doing, what battle I need to fight, and then we safely resume the roll.

I just do what it says on the sign in our living room:

Frame. Breathe. Pray.

I think Kimmie bought it at a craft fair…. 🤔
