Live Rolling

Hey guys, tonight's roll was really awesome. I belong to a traditional BJJ Gi school, and been stuyding the 10th Planet system hard. Repping as much as possible. Tonight I went with a more advanced student, and I really was starting to feel myself flowing with the system better. I immeditealy pulled HG to get the party started, like u guys told me, work my pimp arm and over hook to the stomp, and managed to push the guy back to his but, while i sat up, then i fell back onto my back to execute the pyramid. He pushed on my "non-rg" leg and i kept it tight and fought his hand off the leg, moved to chill dawg, then kung fu, and slipped my foot over his face for the gogo plata.. ALMOST HAD IT! I failed, primariliy because my squeeze is still very weak, n i just pulled back into half, after stalling, I JoL'd to the double underhooks, an waited. He took the bait, and tried posturing up by pushing off my face, whipped up, dog fight, old school side control, to north south choke.. I actually learned the N/S choke from the ALL STARS DVD, and repped the shit out of it on my Grappling Dummy.

Thanks for the tips team!

Even if he did muscle through the move, it never benefits me to think that. I could be discarding a key observation into my weakness. I used to think that wrestlers just had insane posture that was impossible to hit with rubber guard, it turned out that my posture breaks just sucked.

I can control and improve myself but I can't make anybody else weaker or worse. So I judge myself and disregard judgments on my opponents.

Well said AJ. I'm guilty of that.

AJ, i corrected my statement, and thank you for bringing that to my attention!

Exactly! Same here
