Today I rolled with a scrapy white belt, and a seasoned brown belt. Amazing, the brown belt is just a library of knowledge.
He kind of teaches too much sometimes though, too fast my brain can't retain it all, lol I think that why this notebook idea is always recommended.
Anyways I'll just take 1 detail home today;
When you have someone's back, get a good use of the seatbelt, but then on 1 side instead of using your leg as a hook, you can also:
1. put your foot on his HIP, and use it to stretch him down or come up etc. or
2. grapevine his same-side leg from the outside, and control that leg with the hook. Use this to stop him from turning into you, massive control over his leg and knee/hips. If he rolls away you take back again, if he turns in you use the hook to control him. Switch back from there to the foot-on-hip, or back to the hook accordingly as he moves. You can also use the hook to come up higher, set up armbar etc.
good class. We laughed about how growing in jiu jitsu can be seen as becoming more and more aware of how much we suck (how much there is to learn that we don't know). As we grow, our understanding of how much more there always is to learn expands exponentially
lol kind of humbling but kind of inspiring too
