Blue Belt Class Today

Worked on punch drills, guillotine choke defense, side control escapes. Good take-away for the day was to, when doing the side control escape, execute in this series of steps:

1. Buck
2. Hip out
3. Straighten Arms
4. Step Over
5. Hip in

Before, I was skipping #3 a lot and forgetting to make space with my arms too. I didn't realize this until today. Maybe this escape will work better for me now. :)

Another take away was that on the guillotine take-down, blocking the outside leg is essential. I need to practice these more.

Dealing with the last stages of a flu, so I didn't do no-gi purple/randori night (again...this is the 3rd one I've missed in a row!)
