Gracie Worlds Prep Week

[Brandon Mccaghren]

Started off strong tonight with Dead Zone Drills from:

1. Chopping Block (Arm Triangle)
2. Triangle (Opponent has posture)
3. Kimura Grip (from side control)
4. Arm In Guillotine (from closed guard)
5. Soider Web
6. Back Control (Over/Under with only 1 hook in)
7. Vice Grip (hunting for D'arce's from top half guard)

Jeff Glover was in the house, which kinda made me giddy.

Met lots of cool guys from New Zealand, Australia, Spokane and other spots.

And the Burbank gym is SUPER clean and nice. I'm very impressed with their focus on hygiene and a safe training environment.

Oh, and I'm icing down this old man elbow as I type this.

Bad ass!! Jeff was in Burbank?!? Who taught? Is the chopping block your strongest?

I also like to drill armbar with the shoulder trapped and right after you shuck from homie control with those, but of course you just had one day. Sounds like a blast man. Hope your elbow hangs in there, and im hyped for ya man. You're one of the slickest ive rolled and i roll everyone i can. You can do this man. Good luck.

Do you feel more confident in your wrestling after the Ben seminar?

Eddie taught. We actually didn't "learn" any tech; Eddie ran class like a ball coach. He yelled out the drills and we pushed ourselves. It was perfect. Then several rounds of live rolling.

The Chopping Block is my strongest Dead Zone for sure; I feel like if I can get there it's point of no return for my opponent. If I drag you out that far, you're gonna give me something.

As far as my wrestling, I will be ready with it by this time next year, but there wasn't enough time for me to have it ready for this tournament. Ben was incredible, though. I will be bringing him back to Decatur regularly, or making trips to see him.

I wish you were here, Bobby. It'd be like Heaven for you.
