Goal: 144
Got some more training in last night, rolled around for about an hour before stopping to work on somee technique. Feeling better about myself as I was able to continuously roll without getting caught, much. Was able to work rubber-guard and Kesa-gatame quite a bit, but after rolling around for about an hour and getting my leg caught in various positions I realized that I still don't fully grasp the fundamentals off Jiu Jitsu. During the ride home I realized that alot of the positions I fell in could have been used to sweep my opponent and/or setup for other moves. I'm still very much stuck on a few set flow moves, and when I go for something out of the ordinary I don't have the correct angle or hold to secure the lock.
During the ride home I drifted off and started thinking about all the different variations of guard that I could have pulled that night. I started second guessing my core learnings, but thats when I was snapped out of it by Latitia and was told not to worry about it. The only reason I was second guessing anything is because I am headed to Lexington today to roll with a group of new guys, all which are still 40 lbs heavier than me.
On that note.....it makes it difficult to train properly when a guy 40 lbs heavier than you sits on your chest. That 40 lbs makes a huge difference when trying to buck someone off but on the same accord if I try to buck him off and I am able to move him then I figure that I can move a 145 lbs guy without a problem. I also find that anyone who is 40 lbs heavier than me is more than likely stronger than I am and thus it is easier for them to defend any move that I try but AGAIN if I am able to roll into it with a guy who is bigger AND more talented than I am, then taking on a 0-0-0 guy in my first fight should be that much easier.

I'm going over what I need to do in my head. What I should do is try and create a flow chart....I'm going to go fire up Visio and try that out.
I decided to pen it all, but thats what I've come up with so far. The top are the most common moves I use form Guard, Middle is transitions and the bottom are the steps of rubber guard. Sorry it's small....I took the PIC using my phone.
