What are you working on right now? and....

I generally work on three things specifically, when i used to focus on one specifically i found i would get stalled quite a bit cos i was too stubborn to do anything else. atm im working on deep half, really getting under the guys and sweeping them. and im just finishing focussing on rubber guard. really getting into omaplatas from half, rubber and full guard. but yeah anything from half guard or rubber guard is my goal atm

I let people get me in side control and mount to practice escaping sometimes but never with new students beause it goes to there head.

I usually work on the same move set for a month or so and then move on and come back later. There are just so many things to get good at :-/

That's interesting about not with new students, had never thought about that side of it before but can see what you mean. Fine line between discouraging them or giving them something that goes to their head. Depends on the individual I suppose.

I more or less mean brand new students by the time a month or so happens they realize how good you are but the first couple times I roll with a brand new person I crush them so that they cannot move and feel helpless, i had a three hundred lb student he started two weeks he has been to class everyday because someone half his size makes him feel helpless.

Currently workin on De La Riva guard. I'm goin to be drilling this one for a while and then moving on to spiral. I like to start rolling with my partner in side mount so I have to work in an escape, and then the rest of the time I'll be trying to get to de la Riva. I just spent the last 2 months doing this with the truck and that part of my game has really come a long way :)

Good call. This must be prepping for your upcoming Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. :)

Right now I am still concentrating on a lot of deep hook stuff, spiderweb. Lots and lots of twister side control too. Twister side - Ninja roll - RNC I am having a lot of success with, and I LOVE that path. :-)

So ive pretty much got my three goals, long term mid term and short term.

long term of course is to get a fully legit game jsut everywhere, which i think is everyones goal, mid term is getting my top game control sorted and my new short term is getting sweeps down. im just getting to the point where i feel my bottom game is somethin i can almost always rely on

im really happy, since ive gotten back to nz ive been working on a lot of butterfly guard and sweeps from there, and im getting more and more picky about what i do from the bottom. doing lots of rubber guard. but im finally feeling the sweeps and mount game coming in, so im starting lots more sweeps from half and from butterfly and once thats down, then ill start using all the top game techniques ive learnt and put them into my game a lot more.

when im getting to mount atm im really focussing on getting them to underhook me and ill go straight into mono control. fits really nicely with the RG work ive just done

(i always seem to write too much) :D
