Training on vacation/Judo

I had a great time training while on vacation last week. I got to train with Kristopher Williams, a brown belt under Charles Dos Anjos.

We worked on a lot of passing, which is great for me for two reasons. One, we worked passes against a guard that I like to use (DLR), so now I can anticipate what's happening and try to avoid it better. Two, it's just always good to know guard passing techniques, as that really is a huge process in any stage of BJJ.

When I got back to Nebraska, it was good to get back on the mats and train with the people here, while trying to use new things learned elsewhere.

I got a stripe in Judo last night. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but I'm supposed to test for a new belt in the near (maybe not really near) future in both judo and BJJ. I've come to love my white belt and when it is retired, it will be placed in a location of honor.
