An open-mat session and non-stop rolling for about 80 minutes, which was a stamina-sapper.
The good news is that I was hard to tap among the fellow white belts that I rolled with… until my strength and endurance went and then I was useless.
But I was threatening a few kimuras and omoplatas and I did some good escape work. I even managed a few positional reversals.
One of my fellow white belts is very small and very fast, though, and trying lock him up is like trying to knit fog. It's an example I can learn from, though, as his constant movement makes it tough to tap him.
I love open mat sessions. I just sometimes worry I enjoy rolling so much I sometimes forget to focus and drill.
Things to remember: Constant movement makes it harder for your opponent to nail a position.
