Last night we did butterfly guard focus, and I spent a lot of time in butterfly guard. I tried to get people to commit their weight and lean onto me, and when I finally did...I just leaned back, and I felt ALL of their weight come off of the ground. I was supporting them...entirely. It was pretty cool. Then, all I had to do [aided by their forward momentum] was extend my legs and tip them over my head...and over they went, dragging me right to the mount. It was pretty cool. I did it twice. All you have to do is get them to lean...
I will focus on this when I work my escapes. Escapes I think will be the hardest part of my journey, since there are two kinds of escapes: you initiate, or they initiate. And no one good is going to initiate for you...unless they want to submit you I suppose.
In other news, I began my Kung Fu training again. And I must say, it's going well.
Anyway, at the end of the day, everything you're doing is just problem solving. I'm currently working on my my weak side butterfly sweep is well...weak. [Whizzer/Wrist control] I'm playing around with where to put my weight, where to put my butt, the angle I'm driving him at, the timing, the rocking, everything in order to get the move to work.
I think this is what separates me from most other people; I use science to try to make my moves work instead of my muscles. I think at the end of the day, I will come out on top because of that.
