Once again, we were back at the triangles. Nothing new, just refining technique, and making sure we are going through our checklists. A couple things that I noticed; wrist control is SOOO important. All the time really, but even more so if you want to get good at triangles, and not just peacocking them out. Move them around like a back hoe, but use your feet as well. On a hip, on a knee, keep pressure into your opponent, and even if you don't get the triangle, go for a sweep, or arm bar, or something! Don't ever stop trying for a sub, and never settle for position. When you throw a leg over the back of the neck, put your boot on AFTER you lift it up to start ice picking it further across, instead of before, and you can make it much further, and sink it deeper. When going against a much bigger opponent, if you are having trouble locking in the other leg over your ankle, don't be scared to switch it to a tepee, or to attack the arm, just make sure you are always threatening the triangle as well. Taking breaks on the bottom is sloppy, and lazy, work for top position or control, and use that as a place for a pit stop.
Back in for grappling tonight, but next week I begin my trek towards championship gold. Four weeks to go!!!
