No work today. Our company respects Remembrance Day which is very cool.
Spent the morning doing dishes and cleaning up. I’m also trying to get a webcam going that I can access from work to keep an eye on the dogs.
BJJ class at Martial Arts Planet was taught by Rebecca and there were only two students so we got the full attention of our instructor. Cool.
We learned some submissions from the guard. Essentially, they all started with us taking the opposite sleeve, and sliding the same side hand under that arm to grab our own wrist, Americana style. Then that trapped arm was pulled up and over our head, providing the opportunity for an overhook on the same side. With good head control that overhooking arm can grab the opposite collar and thus provide the opportunity for:
- A collar choke by bringing your free arm across to the same side shouder
- An elbow lock by shrimping out enough to hyper-extend the elbow joint
- A kimura by shrimping out tightly and taking the same side arm
If that all fails after shrimping and they reclaim the same side arm, then take their back or reclaim you guard and start again.
Afterwards, had coffee at Starbucks with my girlfriend and then went home to cook the boys dinner. We had a serious talk about the mountain of dishes they left for me this morning. They actually admitted that things got a bit out of hand. They’re good kids. The kitchen is presentable again.

Ha that’s a very sweet series of attacks! And when they get wise to it and try to unravel your overhook, arm drag them and take their back
