Research

Last night at the gym was pretty fun. I am having a hard time with Vins X guard, he seems to be able to get there no matter what. One thing that I was having success with is using the Brabo grip to prevent him from extending himself in half guard to bring my leg up onto his shoulder. I also have been pushing on this inside knee very hard, as I try and slide my weight off his X while keeping my hips parallel to the ground. I will have to try this more.

Coach could fight Renato Tavares, he is a very good black belt and it will be one of the toughest fights he has had yet. Coach watches tape and asked me to watch tape as well and try to attack in some of the ways that he attacks. I studied him for about 2 hours last night and took quite a few notes, one of the things that he is very adamant about is setting up the Brabo grip, but not always switching hands, and sometimes he just feeds the lapel around the back. He also loves to underhook a leg from half and do the over under pass. He is very good at this. I have a list of notes I will put up one I am done looking at his material.
