An assertive examination of the threat- not glaring in his eyes, but scanning and noting his stance, possible weapons and where his hands are- will help to discourage the threat. He must see you scanning and evaluating. It sends a signal. Simultaneously, check yourself. Make sure your hands are free and any weapons you have are accessible. Scan for the threat’s possible confederates and keep the threat in your peripheral vision. An experienced threat will notice you doing this and will have to move you into a different class of potential victim, preferably out of the victim category altogether. –Rory Miller
Friday evening BJJ in Bellevue under Prof. Doug.
Outside reap setups. Remembering that collar grip needs to be higher. Also, pushing with that fist against the jaw or neck makes a big difference. After not-gonna-admit-how-many years, it feels a little like I'm starting to coordinate the whole push/pull thing. A little.
Triangles from closed guard, transitioning through butterfly and a half-spider to get there.
Rolls with Christie, Prof Sean, Kevin, and a white belt guy that I know from Kirkland but his name escapes me.
Christie got two stripes on her belt tonight. She's been working really hard, coming to a lot of classes, and doing great.
She also told me- after drilling- "I'm so happy when you come!" which gave me a warm fuzzie.
