Open Mat Reflections – Saturday August 19, 2023

A two stripe white belt said I had the best role yet with him, again. I was on his back for four minutes. That’s got to be some kind of record for me.

Another fellow blue belt and I fought hard. I had an arm triangle locked in for about 4 and a half minutes. My arm, the one around the back of his shoulders, was complete Jell-O at the end of the roll, it’s still sore. He didn’t tap. I’ll give him that he’s tough as nails.

I barely survived against a two striped black belt. He caught me in a nasty triangle.

I also barely survived against a few striped purple belt. He also caught me in a nasty triangle.

Some younger guys were doing No Gi in the corner of the mat so I ripped off my gi top and asked if any of them wanted to dance.

Here’s a video of me and one of them doing some No Gi sparring, both blue belts. I’m the dude in the blue GB rash guard. Enjoy.
