BJJ Journal: Single Leg X


The hardest thing in the world is to be ourselves. Who are we? Our family tells us, society tells us, laws and customs tell us. But what do we say? How do we get to that place of self-knowledge and conviction where we are able to state without doubt, fear or anger, “This is who I am, this is what I believe, this is how I intend to live my life”? ~ Steven Pressfield 

Gym: The Base Jiu Jitsu taught by Professor Dealy 


TRAINING LOG:

• Single Leg X flow drills. Partner standing over your chest. Put one hand on the inside of the knee and the other arms wrapped around the ankle grabbing own lapel. 

• SL-X sweep w/ lapel as leash.

• SL-X, opponent defends with pushing ankle/leg off hip, w/ lapel as leash pull down and use leg to bump forward, when he comes back up slide into SL-X on his other leg.

• Opponent has full mount, hip bump to one side to create space and shrimp to create even more space into SL-X, then either technical stand up if he stays on mat or sweep if he stands up.

KEY POINTS: SL-X, the ankle needs to be pushing on the hip flexer. Opponent should not be able to shake you off his leg. When your lapel leash has been broken, drop down to 4 fingers on the pant leg.

Breaking the guard - 2 on 1 Russian tie. Control opponent with 2 on 1 at his elbow and wrist, and pin him to the ground with it. While driving into him, walk him all the way up to top of his back, and get your hips under his. Move from 2-1 to double cliff hanger, then lift opponent off the ground. Break the guard by stepping back and pushing the knee out. Pinch one of the opponents legs, the side you want to pass. Let go of the arm and move to same side collar. Side hop, forehead driving into sternum and back step over into side control.

"The Flats"

Late season deer. "The Flats" a plateau over looking a lake. A square patch of doug firs bordered a meadow with young reprod. On the edge of the meadow in the timber, i encountered 21 deer in 5 days (3 bucks). "Mount Sinaloa" - Big bruiser track in the snow, trail led from saddle to clear cut. I think this was the buck that made those two rub lines. 2 mikes off the trail in the Sinaloa mountains, I hung a tree stand and trail cam for next season. I'm hoping to find a monster buck or bull somewhere in the dark timber.
