Sorry to ask but what is free roll? Have seen it mentioned a lot in this thread...

[tallgeese]

Free roll is the sparring aspect of BJJ and other grappling arts. It's the open mat time where you apply technique under live circumstances.

Here's some mellow free roll anther forum member and I got in while I was down his way a couple of months back:

It's a good example of the more laid back, playful aspect of open mat time. Everyone working on technique and tactics while constantly moving.

GRACIE DT: 12:30-2:00 pm. I got to be the teacher today. The college DT instructor had me teaching technique to a new guy, with another experience guy as the partner, and got some good work in myself. We did the punch blocks and shadowboxing drill and worked into the clinch work. From the clinches, we worked disengaging or the rear takedown. From the rear takedown, the instructors there worked with me on a few things to do from that position, depending on how the other guy lands when finished. We also did umpa escape, and umpa escape with swim and trap. Also worked on a few variations here, some that I like and will recall for when I teach at the department.

Range: 8:00 am-Noon. We did a lot of fun stuff today. Worked with the shotguns and rifles, working on malfunction drills. I am getting a lot more comfortable with these two weapons as we go along here. We also did some long-gun to pistol transitions with both. With the shotgun, we did a fun drill where we were behind cover, with something like 7 different targets set up down range. The caller would yell out the color of the target to shoot, from what position and strong or weak hand. It was a lot of fun, and the stress listening and loading and moving made it even more fun. For the rifles at the end, we divided into teams, and had to shoot out 3 bowing pins, and then shoot at a watermelon with a small explosive pack in it from 100 yards. Each team had 3 pins it had to knock down before getting to take a shot at the melon. I managed to knock down one of the pins, and my team won.
