Tuesday 11 AM class at the Westin taught by Urso. Urso covered the closed guard hip bump sweep. He taught it from using the open guard (feet on hips, knees wide inside the elbows, grips on both sleeves for control) to going to a closed guard then when there posture breaks going over the top and grabbing the belt. then doing the traditional hip bump sweep to the mount if the pull away to posture up. He then did the Kimura from there. He showed me how to do the Kimura from a tightly clamped arm right below the shoulder joint on the upper arm as an alternative entry to the Kimora. then do a big elbow escape to dump them on their face and take the arm lock.
Rolled with Dan who is difficult to do anything to him. He is hyper resistent to being put on his back so I have to come up and attack his turtel. Caught him in a choke from there. He will be tough as he gets more skilled as he is very strrong with good base. Reminds me of Dave Dawson though not as dangerous. I continue efforts to get him to Judo.
Then rolled with Chris Delpi, who has a non stop mouth, but in a good way a la Cyrus. He has too many no-gi instincts that screw him up like going for guillotines etc., that put him in bad position for gi training. Caught him a few times and moved him to bad positions. Still he it's fun to roll with him.
Just to remember alma and I had a good discussion with one of the Westin guys regarding a womens self defense class. He is enthusiastic and wants to have us do a presentation at an upcoming event and set up some classes. He will be a good resource.
