11/5/2014

DT Club: 2:00 - 3:00 pm. A Wichita PD officer came in to talk to the kids about some of his experiences so far in law enforcement, especially in how important it is to keep training and working, especially in DT. Afterwards, we did some free rolling. I rolled twice, probably around 5 minutes per roll. I basically waited out my first roll with some mount pressure maintenance (thank you, Alex!), which worked really well. Learn about that here: Pressure Mount Review. The second roll was tougher, with a young kid with Wrestling experience. I was able to kind of ride things out for a while on bottom by latching onto half-guard, but couldn't get anything to work for me. I eventually lost position and got tapped out in some kind of near crucifix hold. It was fun.
