Played with the Faria over/under pass today.  The kimura can definitely be avoided on the over arm.

It is important to move away from the passing side to prevent the shrimp - Faria emphasizes this point in his video.  It definitely needs to be a more natural entry.

I worry a little about the harpoon sweep (which is what I would use), but I think walking back to centerline helps nullify that sweep.

Must protect my arms better.  It is a real problem when CJ gets high side control.  Without underhooks I am in trouble earlier than someone with better shoulder mobility.

Love the tip CJ gave me today about using your opponent's bottom uppa to inch your rib cage up their chest - they actually help you move.

CJ was not at all threatened by my shin ride from side control - he is controlling my foot and if I commit to attacking the far side arm he will sweep me - which is exactly what he did.

      Trained with CJ, the Aussie wrecking ball last week.  We both felt like we were being too patient - too nice - when we rolled lately (not just with each other).  Oftentimes I'll wait to see what my opponent is going to do so that I can counter-punch.  We made a rule that we would remind each other to get moving after 3 seconds.  This was super valuable - not only from a defensive standpoint, but even when attacking.  I'm not talking spazzy moving with no plan, but switching attacks, direction or other changes to keep your opponent off balance.

     CJ tapped me twice with a foot extension when I had his back.  Ankles were not crossed, but he was able to trap my foot (the heel I believe) in the crook of his waist and then apply pressure with his own lower leg.  Two thoughts here - don't get sloppy with my feet and end up in that position in the first place.  That may mean being more active with my feet from back mount.  The second is what to do when they do get trapped.  Is there a re-positioning of hips that can relieve pressure?  Extend the leg?  I'll find out today when we hit the mats again.  I rekindled my bjjfanatics account and want to go back and watch Bernardo Faria's over/under passing game again so that I can begin to work it in.
