* Everything went good today. We went over shrimping escapes in BJJ GI class and I stayed after to roll with one of my regular training partners for a little over 30mins I think. My top control was terrible today but my defense was great. I really have been working butterfly guard quite a bit lately with mixed success. Today though, it worked well for me and I also used the shrimping escapes (which I usually passover for other methods) over and over with success. Anyway, I've been using a couple of little tricks and they seem to be really catching people off guard. I actually was able to pull one off where I can reach back with my legs and pull his guard down by getting my foot around his ankles. If they have a low guard you can do this, I think one person online even shows how to get a compression lock although I personally wouldn't attempt it. It does work, but its high risk and you risk being flipped. I kept a leg on the guard and was able to catch his guard and pull down a bit and break it from there. Of course, you have to be flexible to do this. Really cool though anyway, flashy if nothing else lol. In training you know, its ok, but I wouldn't mess with it in a competitive scenario.
