Despite inviting ten people to an open mat, only the truly dedicated whose belts begin with "B" attended today. Thanks to Jason, Ryan, and Tony for giving me eight, 7-minute rolls today.
On another note, it seems that promoting Ryan to brown belt has turned him nasty since he went for heel-hooks on me the entire roll (almost like I hurt him on Saturday or something). I even had to tap to one of them. Not that I'm keeping track or anything, but I think I will have to pay him back for that :)

Today was just advanced belts (black and two brown belts).
We drilled four (well, 3 and-a-half since the fourth was a modification of one) sweeps from half-guard and reviewed guard passes (which we always seem to do).
The brown belts rolled first (6 minutes) and then I had two rounds against each of them. I injured Ryan slightly (knee to thigh, like in Muay Thai), but he walked out.

Today's class was me, Jason, John, and Ryan, so the "weakest link" was a 4-stripe purple belt.
We covered a knee-in-belly escape, modified that escape to permit prevention of a knee-slide pass, and reviewed a clock-choke variation.
We then had six, six-minute rounds (two rounds against each opponent, rotating).

Today's class consisted of me, Jason, John, and Steve.
I covered four half-guard sweeps and worked a few ideas for situations when the opponent attempts to crush from the top of half-guard.
I was able to roll with each student for seven minute rounds (two with Jason).

Today was for advanced ranks, with only purple, brown, and black belts in attendance.
We drilled several basic items: arm bar from guard; scissor sweep; cross-collar choke from guard; Americana finishes; kimura finishes; reverse arm bars.
We then shared items that we have been working on individually in order to seek feedback. I personally learned how to do the baseball bat choke from back control and then modified that to catch someone with it from side-control.
I rolled with Jason (twice), John, and Ryan in seven-minute rounds.

Basics, basics, basics. Jason, John, Ryan, and Tony attended. Today we worked on two innovative side control escapes, two basic arm bars from guard, and o-soto-gari for me & John (not sure what Jason & Tony worked on from standing). I rolled with everyone (6 minute rounds) and had a good session.
