friday night and sat morning

so friday night i went to the beta school of martial arts here in nice quiet Washington D.C. the place is in a community center/school and very very new. it is owned and ran by Nakapan Phungephorn who has i belive 14 years in muay thai and a similar amount of time in bjj. i watched the last half of the thai class and put my gi on and rolled with the bjj class. most of the guys were blue belts or no gi people, almost all were heavier and i think rolling a lot longer than i have been. clas ran long, 1.5 hours to be exact.half hour of conditioning,half of drilling and half of rolling live. i was exhausted and a little hurt. but felt good. drill wise we worked the half guard escape and a kimura from there as well. lot of emphasis on third point pressure and also after reading about control points, i noticed we used a lot of them as well.this brought those into mind and kept them fresh for me. i found a couple of major errors i have in dealing wiht kimura set up and also execution. the escapes may be very useful and i will work them diligently in the future.today i went to my comp class, and that ran real long three hours to be exact...11 a.m. till 2 p.m. we drilled triangle setup similar to scissor sweep from guard and walking up the back if they try to stack and finishing with an armbar. we also worked transitions from double under escape, and partner rolls into turtle and then work clock choke, take the back, or sweep. also finished up with grip fighting and then sparring/rolling. recieved some personal instruction from Lloyd Irvin on triangle choke and working to get perpendicular to the opponent, this i have to work but will improve, armbar from guard,kimura and triangle as well.
