Monday Morning Open Mat

Didn't go much better today than yesterday. A little bit, not a lot. I had people warm-up by doing a half hour of drilling their choice of techniques, then 45min of rolling. 

Rolled with Manny, Ian, Kelly, Ben, Shaun and Julio. The one thing that really stuck out in my mind is that both Ben and Kelly used a kimura grip when I had top positions (side-control and half-guard) and were able to effectively escape/sweep. I tried the counter that we learned last week by grabbing my own arm and stepping over the head but I think I was mixing up the steps for half guard and top side. I did my best rolling with Ian, but I still got my guard passed at least once.
