Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Sparring

Well as expected I had a pretty rough day Saturday sparring. It was mainly due to a lack of energy though from the long week in Las Vegas. Everything I did was haphazardly executed and therefore not much stuck but I did manage to survive several of my match ups. The day was actually all about survival for me and it taught me quite a bit about myself. It's interesting rolling when you are tired and very week from not training for a week. I basically just worked on repositioning to keep anyone from passing my guard which allowed me to keep from getting submitted over and over again. I did try to work some submissions from the guard but I was very timid in my execution to make sure I didn't give up too much making it easier for them to get to much control to pass. It also just felt like I was on autopilot the whole time and I really didn't think too much about what I was doing so I have obviously gotten to the point where I feel pretty comfortable maintaining the guard against non-stripped white belts which for me a is a noticeable improvement compared to me rolling 3 or 4 months ago.
