blue belted

Now that I'm a blue belt and learning new moves, sometimes I have to remember the new moves are setups, and that i can't always go to them. Sometimes when against another blue belt its best to switch it up and use some simpler moves too. For example when in half guard and trying to take their back, if they're really fighting that it might be easier to just go to guard

Yesterday we learned to transition from the no-gi triple attack sweep into a triangle, as well as a scissor to triangle.

Last week, we learned how to open the guard when you have one arm trapped (go to side, push on his ankle and go to side control). Also how to hold/choke from side control using their lapel (both the far arm and side arm lapel). Week before that was more friendship sweeps and half guard escapes and such.

I think I need to focus on remembering these new moves, since I am now forgetting the things I'm learning in the new class.
