From White to Blue Belt My BJJ Diary Training 5
Today we practised different set ups to take the back and end with a rear naked choke.
As I mentioned in my last post I often feel overwhelmed and just want to remember one detail or technique.
Before I often had problems that one arm got trapped and I could not finish the choke. I have to pay attention that my arms slides in through close to the neck. Even when he is strong and blocking the neck I can just go to the nose and get pressure there to lift his head and expose his neck and get my other arm in. I can do this multiple times till I get a tight grip on his neck.
Still, my arm got trapped quite often. I have to pay attention I am staying close to his face and have some speed and strength in my movement.
I have booked 4 private hours which I will take next week. I think I will do 2 every week so I have some time to decide what I want to work on. At the moment I am thinking I want to spend 2 on some submissions from the guard as I can get people in full guard quite often but then I dont really have an idea what to do. 1 one pulling guard and 1 on escapes.
I know my focus as a white belt should be survival but you can not tell me you did not wanted to tap people also, when you were a white belt.
But I am very open for suggestions from some more experienced people here. I just want to make the best out of it as it was quite expensive.
so hardcore! I find taking private lessons always helps me improve quickly in any skill I'm working on.
I really hope they will be worth it. It is around 60$ an hour.
I am almost embarrassed to admit I paid this much....
Yeah, it's pretty expensive for private lessons at most bjj schools. Mine is $35 per half hour.
did you took some? if yes was it worth it in your opinion? I will know next week, already excited
Yes, I do one private lesson per week at my school. I find that the one on one time with an instructor allows you to receive a better level of instruction. I couldn't always afford it, but now that I can, I take advantage of one on one private lessons with 2 different bjj instructors.
LOL. I'm sure it will be! :) Keep me posted on the progress.
I use to pay that much for horse back-riding and I did it twice a week. It was so worth it though! Never regretted it :)
will do

done. good luck with the competition.
aww thanks so much for your support! :)
I suggest looking into how the Danaher Death Squad (especially Gordon Ryan) does their setups. They trap the arm opposite your choking arm with a hooking leg. Ironically one of the pioneers of this setup is Marcelo Garcia.
