Ballet of Violence

Things I noticed:

1) If you try an arm-bar or triangle and miss it, you can get screwed (so to speak).  These have to be perfected, and should not always be attempted.

2) I don’t have any attacks from the half-guard, and had trouble getting full mount from half guard.

3) I need a rear-naked choke defense.

4) i don’t know what to do when someone stands up in my guard.

1. Always remember that attacking makes you vulnerable.  So, attack successfully.
2. I prefer sweeps to submissions in the half guard.
3. Best defense is to not give up your back.  ;)
4. There are also some fun sweeps if someone stands up in your guard.

I offer these not as some kind of BJJ expert, but as someone who has been tapped.  A lot.
