Haven’t updated the thread but I’ve been training last week and this week.
Today we learned a darce from side control when the opponent gets an under hook and tries to stand up. One arm around their neck, the other around their arm, grabbing your own wrist behind their head. Fall on your outside shoulder, feed your outside arm, towards the opposite shoulder. Take your other arm and meet that bicep with your outside hand, rotate your inside hand to thumbs up, squeeze your own bicep.

I’ve been leaving my right arm for the taking way too often. My last few rounds of rolling all I focused on was keeping my elbows in my ribs and only using my hips. I got choked, which was fine.

I haven’t updated the thread in a while.
I have been arm locked since my last post but on rare occasion and only by really good guys. But I’ve improved a ton on arm positioning and trying to keep my arms safe closer to my hips.
Today we worked back control escape. Hooks in, seatbelt locked. One hand on wrist control, the other closer to the elbow on the choking arm. Hug the arm with ear. Fall to the non choking side. Keep higher grip but move it down to wrist, remove other hand and use it to peel the heel closest to the mat.
Step over with the same foot, bridge and step with both feet, one hand on wrist, the other on the far side pant leg. Bridge while rotating body like the hands of a clock, away from opponent, but keeping back glued to their chest as you rotate. Hand stays holding wrist, other hand stays with a pant leg grip. Continue rotating until close to perpendicular, rotate hips towards opponent’s head with same leg turning to face other direction (toward opponent). That’s the leg that’s gonna be on the hip, slide body forward and secure side control position. As you are rotating your body towards them, keep head, shoulders and chest attached to their body, leaving no space for them to shrimp or attempt to get up.

So a white belt gets on my back during live roll. I do everything we just drilled, but didn’t hug his arm enough and left too much space between my neck and his arm, and he was able to slip his other arm in and get a lapel choke (not sure of the variation).
Second time he forced me to fall to the choking side. I was able to do what I needed to do at first but when I tried to peel his bottom hook he adjusted, so I ended up figure 4’ing that leg (not sure why, just did it). When I did that, he got me in some kind of choke that I had never felt before. Not sure what it was and he couldn’t show me cause right after class he had to leave.

Ho Lee Fuk, talk about about nostalgia. Before I spend an hour or two trying to spot myself on some old YouTube vids I figured I’d sub to OPs thrad with a bump before I post myself wearing his t-shirt on a beach in Mexico once I get a tan.

I was his next fight in a Jamie Levine show.
Didn go any better. Heres his chin touching his bellybutton as I crank a fully locked/cinched cricifix from within his gaurd. Ive never seen it done that way before or since in amma fight. Coleman liked it, and was trying it on one of his guys at the strip club after ther show. Very shortly after his Pride GP win (huge fanboy moment but Im cooler than the IceMan).
You can see the tapping motion blur of his hand and Din Thomas jumping in to stop it.
*shamelass self plug, and ill tell it again im sure

Well now I’m sharing too lol. Just competed at the ibjjf new york open. No one in my masters 4 purple weight class, so I went down to the youngsters’ bracket (under 45 guys lol).
Didn’t do too badly (third place) using my old high school wrestling stand up and old man smash passes. Pretty cool having my kids watch me compete and not get embarrassed.
OP, keep at it! Never too late to start a d me er to old to be humbled. Also, choking fools for fun is so good for the soul.
