Monday

Start off the week with takedowns. Uchi mata to ankle pick. If they circle so that you can't get the leg in, drop to your hip in front of them (facing away), hook their leg, pull them into you and dump them to the side. 

If you lose your grip over the back, feed that hand under their armpit and grip their lapel. Rotate the grip that you have on their near arm and shoulder roll into them, forcing them to roll with the kimura.

Another one that was particularly nasty was if they grip your lapel, and you feed the bottom of your jacket from around the outside of their arm in, and then your elbow and head through into a firemans carry. Dump them to the side, but the entire time their wrist is trapped and in danger of a wrist-lock the entire way through. Even being careful this resulted in some sore wrists.

Rolls with Nate, Sarah and Julio. Nate and I had a roll in which we transitioned through a lot of positions. We both had the back or got close to having the back, we both had side-control, half guard, etc. I was able to foil all of his rolling back attacks and bolos, but I couldn't seem to maintain anything.

Sarah and I had a back and forth roll. Also transitioned through various positions, although we ended up getting stuck in 50/50 and some half-guard shenanigans where we were at a stalemate when one of us would try to pass. 

Julio was in smash mode today. He's doing a new thing with a forearm across the chin that is very unpleasant when he's in top side-control. He was really grinding his forearm and elbow into my face today. He got me with a couple of submissions, I can't remember what.
