I’m not saying I mastered open guard or anything, but it has become pretty decent. I’ve had several people tell mee how hard I was to pass, some top blue belts still smash pass it but overall it’s holding up steady. So I started playing passer against other white belts… and it’s fun!
Our coach Salah makes us drill a lot of sidecontrol transitions and I finally managed to get them going live, and it’s super fun to slide around my opponent while he’s trying to catch me.
I’m also trying to get the reverse omoplata working, right now I’m still unable to properly isolate an arm from top turtle but chasing the arm alone opens up a lot of opportunities.
In that spirit I also backed Aesopians & Matt’s indiegogo project, and I’m relly excited about their new approach to teaching.
