Later he accused me of being a ninja.
Heheh.
Of course, the rest of night I was squashed to the mat like a bug.
So it goes.

At this point, I am really wanting to fine tune a couple of sweeps and submissions that I can string together from that position. I will look at Marcelo's strategies to see what I can pick and then run things by my coach.
I guess I am generally just feeling like I am setting up wrong and it is too easy for my training partner to grab a leg and drag it across. My hand fighting might not need to be where it needs to be.
Jiu jitsu: always something to figure out.
