Tonight was great. We went over some basics for quite a while: Guard pass 1 and 2. Guard pass 1 is the typical pass where you break their closed guard, and pass under the leg. Guard pass 2 is where you are unable to break the closed guard, so you make yourself skinny in their guard and slam the legs down, and work your legs over.

After this we practiced the standing guillotine defense for a few minutes. This involves wrapping your arm around their shoulder, grabbing the opposite knee cap, walking around the knees, bumping, and going to the ground.

I’ve not been posting as regularly in the BJJ category, I think because sometimes the classes have quite a few techniques we learn, each one getting slightly more difficult. Also I believe it is because when I get home I’m dead tired, and am too busy at work typically.
