2 hours of no-gi jiu jitsu yesterday (Monday).
Technique was all kinds of guillotines.
Standing high-elbow guillotine, guillotine from butterfly guard, arm-in guillotine from butterfly guard, arm-in guillotine from sprawl on turtle.
Notes: elbow creates shoulder separation on high elbow guillotine. Must be on side for arm-in guillotine.
Rolling was good. Good roll with a really good, very strong ~180lb blue belt. I set a nice overhook omoplata but couldn't come up in time and he hopped over and I had to scramble to recompose guard. I kept getting to the overhook and setting up triangles and armbars but he kept powering out of them. I am pretty sure I would have gotten them if we were in the gi, but that's a lame excuse and I obviously need to make my setups tighter. Towards the end of the round I swept him from deep half and came up on top and was working to pass as the round ended.
Rolled with another blue belt (~190lbs) and smashed him. Finished him with an armbar from mount, passed his guard repeatedly, swept him from my open guard, and had him in a high guard armbar as the round ended.
In between I rolled with a few white belts and used it as a laboratory for my x-guard sweeps. I need to be more calm and methodical from x-guard--- it works on white belts but against higher belts I often rush my sweep attempts and end up in a scramble situation.
I also drilled the no-gi Tai Otoshi again today. I need to use my hips to offbalance uke and twist my body and look over my shoulder to finish the throw.
