805BJJ Class 164: elbows to the mat arm defenses, rolling
Birthday class!
Learned to twist and pull my elbow to the mat if anyone tries to lock it up with a kimura or arm bar. Lesson made specifically for Jeremy (according to Jeremy) but useful for all of us to review. I’ve been tapped from an arm bar recently (TJ) where this defense would have let me escape. I used to do it all the time, but it didn’t even occur to me last time. Gettin’ rusty in my old age, I guess.
After class, I got hip tossed by everybody, and they sang me the Happy Birthday song. :)
