Cora's matches from today 5/10/14

[BJ Searle]

That first one looked eerily similar to Eddie vs royler 2 lol

[Cora Sek]

did she win by pts? I didn't see a submission.
Also I c she didn't want to break his arm, I hate situations like that, it looked like she could have but she tryed to slowy armbar him, at least u won, thank god.

She told me the score was 7 to 2. She never hurt a kid to win a match. That is why everyone like to spar with her.

Yes, only without the vaporizer. LOL

i remember i think it was scott yokel saying that she might want to work for a takedown before pulling guard. and thats the main thing i saw here. cora has such a beautiful bottom game that she goes there too instinctively, there was one part in the 3rd match i think where she could have gotten at least top half if not mount or 3/4 mount but instead she pulled him on top. i really think that her takedowns could be her weakness atm.

i mean everyone seems to be aware of her bottom game so much they pull guard themselves. so thats the second part. i saw her freeze a wee bit when she was in standing guard. there were knee slices available as well as m1's etc and she missed out on them.

third part is working on just keeping top. i know her opponents are bigger than her but i still think she gives up on top too easily and while losing by points isnt the end of the world. i think she gives points to them unnecessarily sometimes. maybe sometimes in practice just work on getting mount and staying there.

i know thats all pretty critical, coras still a kid sure, but shes an elite competitor and so im being really picky. great rolls, her lockdown is much nicer but like louis said i think she gives up the leg too easily. in saying that, thats still jsut getting to know each position more and understand where she can stay and rest and where she needs to explode. If it helps, i always think of shooting my entire shoulder through instead of my arm. it just makes it so much deeper. the other thing i noticed is that she doesnt twist the leg in the electric chair and i believe this is one reason why she finds it hard to keep it on her shoulder. once again she has smaller shoulders than most people i see do it so maybe thats all.

i really liked how she went for the electric chair sweep a couple of times, she couldnt get it so she switched to stoner control and got it from that. having that instinct will translate beautifully with going to the back or truck. and her transitions are so just soo snazzy. beautiful stuff

As always great job Cora and some great advice in the thread!

[Wancarlos]

She did a great job!

[Dylan Ehrnreiter]

Have you guys played with Plan B or the Boa much? Good paths to play with based on what she can already do.

thanks bro. you are correct, wrestling is her weakest game. Although she does have wrestling skills, she hardly ever use them as most of these boys have years of wrestling experience. There are so many aspects of her game that need to be work on and that is a good thing because she is still young. But as far as this past tournament goes, our objective was to go straight into the same game as master eddie in Metamoris. That's what she trained for since Master Eddie seminar in Tx. She had 10 matches with 9 kids and the first match she got destroyed trying to go for that game plan, but the more she roll the more confident she became with this game and it was looking good by the end of the day. So for 3 wks of work, not too shabby. We will continue to work on this game, polishing it up. I'm even looking for a wrestling club for her to join also.

to be honest, I don't even know what that is... Well, just like the meathook, we didn't get to that until a few months ago. So I guess let me do some research on Plan B and Boa.... Thanks bro.

I just watched the 1st video. Very impressed that she's playing lockdown with so much conviction. I would suggest that she doesn't let go of the leg so easily and resort to body locking. If she can stay on her side and the leg is there, she should hold on to the leg. I might be making a lockdown vid in the near future with some helpful tips for Cora. But man, I'm definitely a fan.

awesome, any help will always be appreciated it. thank you.
