yea I'm getting the keyboard on my laptop replaced soon, but thats beside the point.
Hip escape! Also known as shrimping. You're going to get put in all kinds of bad positions, and you should focus on getting back to a neutral position like full guard or half guard. Hip escapes will be your best friend, so drill them (there's no such thing as too many).
You will also find yourself in half guard a lot, so find a couple of sweeps that complement each other (i.e. if one fails, you can transition to the other easily, rinse, repeat).
Many of the more experienced students will opt to pull guard on you when you roll, this is to help you develop your guard passing. It's up to you to learn the different types of passes, but a good place to start would be the Under Pass (MTS Ep. 5, 15:17 and Ep. 11, 28:17 demonstrate this technique and options from it).
Those are your three commandments: (1) Develop good hip escapes to recover guard; (2) Become proficient in at least two half-guard sweeps; (3) Learn to pass your opponent's guard.

IDK, call me crazy, but I think you should focusing on listening to your coach. The rest will fall into place.

Thanks for the all the pointers !
Just wondering, is this guy a real Sifu who takes his own bull$#ido seriously? Or is this a joke video? It's strange to see someone this deluded in 2011 as far as martial arts go, at least in the public eye.
Hey Peter, I was only joking about the spinning monkey arm locks by this Sifu. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that was just a joke juuuust in case you missed the fact that that video is full of crap.
Nice Kiko
lol you never know Josh, there's probably someone out there watching this video going "Yeah man, YAH!"Quote:
