I guess without thinking about it I've tried to get the gals at my own gym to be more like me--to have fun and be aggressive :) Don't know if that's what happened, but I guess I've been shooting for number 1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-20437374773732172092010-09-24T17:29:06.815-07:002010-09-24T17:29:06.815-07:00Wow, I like your instructor he sounds really cool....Wow, I like your instructor he sounds really cool.<br />Me, I'm a fun roll. It has to be fun for both of us, win or lose. th eonly exception to that is about three weeks before a comp and I roll seriously and with intention.Meerkatsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147715586194844173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-22763713763400147272010-09-24T12:11:20.619-07:002010-09-24T12:11:20.619-07:00@ Liam: I think there's absolutely nothing wro...@ Liam: I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with amping up training while you're in preparation for a tournament, so long as you go about it the way you do: letting them know what you're up to before you start laying the smack down!A.D.

But I try to be as honest as ...I vary all the time. But I try to be as honest as possible. Like the weeks before tournament I roll hard , like freight train hard and I roll for top and to play my pasing and pressure game. If I ever find myself playing guard I immediately switch to a sweep or a stand-up technique, never subs. <br /><br />I try to remember to make that clear to everyone I shake hands with. I use technique and leverage but I put my weight and muscles behind everything. Pressure pressure pressure.<br /><br />Othertimes, I have no need to. I actually prefer starting in mount bottom in all my rolls. You can't get ENOUGH mount escapes if you ask me. Sure I'll end up in other positions or I'll go with someone who wants to work their guard, but I don't use the same forward pressure when we're rolling (unless it's pre-agreed because THEY have a tournament or whatever)Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.com
