5:15 Women/Teens Kelly
Today we covered some sweeps that I've seen before, but I could never get to work for me.
2 things came clear today:
#1 - Kelly told us a slightly different placement of one limb which worked way better for me
#2 - I realized today that if you have the techniques correct, it is not required that you surprise the opponent. This is a huge, huge lesson for me because I've been thinking, "Well, they know exactly what I'm going to do so I've got to try to slip it on them quick." and of course that wasn't working out very well. So, today I said, "I know that they know this is exactly what I'm going to do, but I'm so frustrated with these sweeps that I'm going to just go ahead and drill them anyway....over and over". Surprisingly, the sweeps worked for me like 3 out of 5 times (as opposed to 0 out of 5 times like usual).
Now when I think about this for a minute it makes total sense. Often I tell Kelly, "I knew where you were going with that, but I didn't know what to do about it.". So, I feel like that is a major milestone in my personal Jits process. :)
