Thank you sir

I think I am not going quickly enough clearing the head to grabbing the foot. It doesn't help that I'm rolling with guys a lot heavier and stronger than me, so I gotta clamp things down more. Thanks y'all!

And, we hosted a regional open mat a couple Sundays ago...I was looking for you.

yeah, I know. I had planned on going, but I wasn't feeling too hot that day.

There was a bearded purple belt there...I looked at him carefully, then realized it wasn't you. He didn't have enough hair and was wearing a gi, lol.

So...I played around with everyone's advice. What I found worked the best for me was going to chill dog then clearing the head for the gogo and grabbing the foot. Before, I was kind of doing the fire and flip, and losing everything during the flip to gogo.

Thanks y'all!

Getting into the gogo launch solves the problem of losing the arm, check the second to the last MTS.
