Today was all about specific drilling and we did 30 minutes on avoiding the opponent's guard, then 30 minutes on guard sweeps.
And it was exactly the sort of repetition drilling I needed to help me improve some of the technical but essential basics I need in my game. The sweeps I worked on included a sweep from half guard, a kimura sweep, a hip bump sweep, a scissor sweep and an upa.
It was then on to sparring and I was partnered with mainly my fellow white belts and I did pretty good without going too crazy. It was a good class.
Key points: Drill the basics. Then drill them again.
