What are you adding or refining in your game? I've been working my truck alot these days.. How about you?
Omaplats/monoplatas and crucifix. Typical crucifix from turtle, mounted crucifix and leg crucifix (Puppet Master).
Crucifix is one of my favorite positions.. I love armbar and forearm crush from there
I been working on keylock defence since that's what I got caught with in my last tourney and on my halfguard game with the lockdown and deep half
de la riva and standing guard styles...passing as always lol
^^ Nice !!
Def truck. Most people outside the system don't know how to defend. People think I'm going RNC then I hit the Chevy.
Been working the control and constantly polishing the position.. getting that ride time is crucial
So many options! Reverse triangles and reverse omaplatas too.Quote:

There's always something to work on
Adding in more general aggressiveness. Working on my finish/squeeze. Adding in more submissions for the rubber guard.
working on my deep half and 50/50 I end up there a lot lately and it needs some work lol
Attacking combat stance. Berimbolo, spiral, etc. And always trying for more pressure and stronger base.
"summer of leg locks"
+1 Always another level to hit.Quote:

I love the darce ..thought my arms were too short at first. I learned pretty fast that I just needed to get stronger ;)Quote:

Can crusher, marcelotine, perfecting rolling kimura :)
electric clinch to electric chair sweep strategies.
Mini stomp, framing to perfect underhooks to dog fight/electric chair
Great to be at HQ once again.
I saw you setting up can crusher in the beginning of your roll with Tokoro.. He turned in, not away and you went to truck. It was awesome, I use the same setupQuote:

I’m playing with attacking a combat base with an X-blast, it needs LOTS of work. Also I’m taking this opportunity to work on my passing like Cade Nelson suggested. :)Quote:

Awesome stuff .. keep em coming fellas
Started learning grappling anew when I found this site and bought eddies books two years ago, so I added a lot!
The new things I am trying to learn one at a time is;
Lockdown
Rubber guard
A new turtle game, Robson Moura style.
Truck, and Eddie's Mount approach, gangsta lean etc.
Z-guard,Inverting, subs and deep half from there.
Zog and Reilly B. leglock game, as well as 50/50 when I end up in a reverse heelhook pos.
I've been able to pull off a lot of it, but erhh.. It's a lot of stuff to learn, haha!
I try to practice one area specifically while rolling, then move on to the next when I feel I've got the hang of it.
The only thing I can say I'm proficient in is the lockdown and the turtle, the rest I'm still learning, one bit at the time.
I'm working on everything, but I've been trying to catch the Japanese necktie as much as possible. This is my most recent during a roll:

I'm training myself, so advice/pointers are always welcome!
Dylan, I started kinda like this so I feel ya. Truth is you could use it as self defense beautifully, and if that is your goal then you're good. But if you want to take it to the next level you will have to train with people better than you, on a consistant basis.
Bobby: I know, and the best I can do right now is to make the drive to Indy once every couple months. I've got a decent little circle of guys to train with, and they can each catch me every so often, but other than one dude who stops in to visit every now and again I don't get tapped too often. That's exactly why Blake in the video rolls with us: he wasn't tapping anywhere else. I talk to Bill Keeling a lot for help, hit every seminar I can, and stop by jits schools whenever I travel for work, but this is a pretty rough time for me as far as being able to train regularly outside of town. :/
All things with the truck and twister, all the rolls, set ups, subs, etc...just trying to pull them off as much as possible during rolling
I've been refining my 100%er, and been trying to get to the truck as much as I can while sparring / free wrestling. Being the only 10p practitioner at the gym I've had awesome success, so trying to hit it from different positions, and really make it part of my game.
Try to get good at one piece at a time. Eventually you will map out paths.Quote:

Just controlling and getting the feel of the position is crucial. People often are in such a rush to get the submission, and lose the control / position. Fabio Santos, once told me "The submission is just the tip of the iceberg, the control is the iceberg" ...I've always preached that to my guys.
weak side rubber guard
entries into the truck, crooked guard, and striking from unorthodox control positions
Butterfly guard, primarily to sweep, but will work on submissions from butterly eventually.
Being a bigger guy I'm always trying to work rubber guard on my strong and weak sides, and after being inspired by 10th Planet Omaha's Derek Stewart I'm also trying to throw in a little De La Riva gaurd and Spiral as well.
