BJJ 5/6

5:15 Women's Kelly Cramer
-If you're getting taken into guard, make sure to get your knee in there with you
-The takedown doesn't stop with the front knee (she did it so fast that's all I could gather)
-In half guard, if you get that underhook and then plant ear to hip you can pass that side. (butt to knees to finish)
-In half guard, if they get that underhook and start planting that ear, MAKE SPACE, post off their head and drive hips up...then use that space you made to get your underhook and drive them back to the mat.
-Shrimp - don't ever want to be on your back so bring both knees up, bump with hips and at the same time turn to get up on one hip, up on the one hip bring your elbow to your knee. Ideally the knee comes up under their ankle. With this leg free hook their leg and then shrimp to the other side for guard or for taking the back, etc.
"Practice Tournament"
-Rita and I also worked the 2 things we learned last week (that sweep and taking the back from there)
*Really great to meet an experienced and cool female. I can learn a lot from Kelly and I'm real excited about it. In general I feel her experience and it makes me feel calm...and ready to learn.

Yesterday was my 2 month mark.
