Super late. Showed up with just a gi top and borrowed a blue pair of pants. Unfortunately my lack of preparedness was reflected in rolls as well. Basically missed the class, just enough time to get destroyed rolling.
First up was Wylian. I went super hard, and I think he did too. Unfortunately this pretty much ruined me for the rest of my rolls. He passed my guard, but I put him in in half and actually caught one of the sweeps that ken showed the other day. First I went for the grab the wrist pull him over the top, but when that didn’t work I took the back door once he gave up the under hook. Still, couldn’t pass his guard. Overall, did worse than last time we rolled.
Next up was Henry, a new blue belt and old friend from school. He caught me off guard with how good his guard recovery is now. Obviously training with Wylian has tightened his game up in spots. Passed twice, but he recovered easily and put me back in half and full. I’m pretty sure he swept me at some point. To be honest , I rolled like shit against him, and he’s gotten a lot better.
I think I need to not give up the closed guard so easily. I’ve been trying to work the open a bit more, with mixed results.
Last two rolls were with Mike S. (blue) and Vaughn, and to be honest they were a blur. Nothing too significant to report. Overall a bad night, but bad nights usually just make me want more at the end.
