nice detail

Depending on what my opponent does: if he tries a standing guard pass, I let him stand and get my left leg DeLaRiva. If he continues to kneel, I try to hip out to get my left leg lasso grip on same side arm, or work on right leg spider on same side arm.

Hello Sensei8, I live in Granada Hills, which is in the San Fernando Valley area. It's about 20 miles West of Downtown in the suburbs.

Thank you

Hi all, I am new to the art. I have been practicing Muay Thai since 2006, BJJ since 2008 (currently a Brown Belt), also trained boxing, MMA, and submission grappling. I feel it is now time to get back to my roots. I started Karate when I was 7 for about a year, and I now want to embark on that journey again as an adult. Part of my renewed interest has been a result of watching a surge of UFC fighters with Karate backgrounds getting to the highest rankings in MMA (Machida, St. Pierre, Thompson, Nelson, etc...). I am in my 40s and do not plan on fighting professionally, but love to engage in competitive sparring. Glad to be here and learn from other practitioners of the art. I am also looking for recommendations for a gym that emphasizes a bit on the sparring side of the sport, in the Los Angeles area. Thank you Gus
