It seems like forever since I've posted Cora video. Well we have cut it down a lot due to my work. But this weekend, even though she has been sick with fever for the pass week and still is sick, Cora still want to compete. So here she is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbzup...ature=youtu.be
Wanting to work her top game, turn out to be a very tough battle. Look like we have a lot to work on.

Here's is another nail biter... I'm a nervous wreck watching them.

Great matches. So much talent. She's gotta tighten up that lockdown game. :)
Nice job :)
What tournament was this? Are you doing the AFG tournament next weekend?
thank bro. Yeah we haven't drill that much lately and it shows. I know we have so much to work on according to this, especially her passing game/ top game. As you can see, for those that doesn't know her game, it end quickly. But the boy that beat her, well he is practically her sparring partner because once a month we go to this program call Kids in Kimonos where kids from all over Houston come together for open mat. Also the boy's coach actually know the 10thplanet system very well. So he was prepared for her. Anyways, we'll get to fixing all of this when she regain her strength. Thanks again.Quote:

As she has Kids in Kimonos and Girls in Gi also and those are FREE rolling. We just going to wait for next month. I want to have time to work on a few things with her, polishing up her rubber guard, passing, lockdown. Her top game is great if she is able to pass. So we need to stress the passing game the most as its getting harder and harder to get kids in her guard.Quote:

Any other recommendation is highly appreciated. Thank you.
Great job!!!!! Especially coming back from being sick with a fever.
David, she still have that fever. We tried knocking it down early that morning and by her doing all those flips and tumbles to get warm up, by the time she get to fight around 11am, it was back. She said her fingers and teeth were tingling and her grip was weak. She woke up this morning with that mild fever,headaches, fluffy face, and sore throat....:( She's trying to get better because she has a singing audition at the mall at 2pm.
Barncat has some great passing knowledge and skills. I know he would be able to help Cora's passing a ton! You guys are like an hour or so away, it would be worth the drive for the free Barncat private lesson and or some 10p Beaumont class time. I know your schedule is tight, but this timing window of a month or so off competition is the opportunity to make the trip once or twice. I know Eddie would agree that a few trips to train with Brian could do wonders for her game...
For sure we will be there for the opening in OCT. And while at this recent tourney, I've spoken to a coach that wants to bring Kids in Kimonos to there, but it will be Kids in NO kimonos...:) The plan is in the work I guess. For sure we will make our way there somehow some way..:)Quote:

She looks like she was doing M1, but wanting to go chest down to soon instead of driving that knee in and riding and attacking from KOB. If you watch rolling vids on Marcelo rolling, he is in no hurry to go to side control after the M1. He stays postured and really drives that knee in. my 2 cents!Quote:

Thank you Master Eddie. Yes her rubber guard is coming along nicely. We just need to get her top game to match up with her rubber guard then I can breath a little..:) right now her passing is not where we want to be yet, but we keep on drilling, a long with her lockdown game. We have another tournament coming up this weekend (paid for by FutureFighterz) that we weren't expecting to participate, but since they want to pay for her, we can't refuse...:) So now we really need to polish up a few things. Hope to give 10thplanet more exciting performance... Bruce
I think somehow Cora is not picking up the lockdown system as fast as she is picking up the rubber guard system. So I'm going to change it up a little. She been doing great with the flying kung fu, meat hook, and carni. So we going to focus more on that for this next tournament and really polishing it up. Along with her guard break and passing.
Knee slice is a very high percentage pass for me. When I get the pass 95% of the time its a knee sliceQuote:

First video, her rubber guard game looks solid. The other kid didn't see the triangle coming.
Second video, couple pointers for passing the guard. Attempting a standing 'knee through the middle pass' while a person has his guard up high is a no go. The guy with the guard will usually elevate his hips and the knee slice ends up brushing up against the tail bone; it doesn't help if the guy has strong legs either. When in the guard, shimmy shimmy up with double bicep control to regain posture; remember to look up as where the head goes, the body will follow. Through this method the guard player's legs will be lower on the back, allowing for the easy jump up to the standing pass.
Third video, her half guard game needs more polish. It's really nice that she's developing her electric chair game, but it's safer to secure electric underhooks before attempting it. The kid on top saw that and secured that cross face, smashing Cora on top for a good portion of the match. Remember, the mantra for the half guard game is "Underhook and Defend the Cross Face". This means either "Lockdown with Perfect Double Underhooks" or "Lockdown with Electric Underhooks" with the face buried into the belly.
Not an instructor, but just a few things I noticed as a lowly blue belt; hope it helped.
As far as the lockdown goes, focus on mastering the electric chair and going from the lockdown to full guard :)Quote:

Wow!
Someone went and watch the 1st video on our youtube channel and left this statement.

I'm suprised people who know you and your stock rubber guard havnt looked deep into the countering of the guard. All you have to do is extend your leg that has the foot resting on hip shove her leg under you then bring your leg back in to trap it there now she will only have the leg she is unhooking then post your right leg out while your right hand/arm keeps the leg from recovering then thread the needle."
Do you guys get this a lot also on your video? I guess this guy doesn't know the meathook, flying kung fu, or the carni that is waiting in the next step of the system...LOL
