A couple of  Wednesday night before the No Gi class we talked what it means to be a good partner. Being a good partner is a term that everyone has heard and formed an opinion about but rarely talks about. I thought it would be good to share what other people's thought are on this subject.

1 leek

1 carrot

1 parsnip

1 rutabaga

1 butternut squash

Peel, wash and/or remove seeds from all.  Cut into chunks, throw into a big bowl and pour 1/4 cup olive oil over and toss until coated.  Oil or line baking sheet(s) with foil and spread in single layer.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Spread 5-6 sprigs each of fresh rosemary and thyme throughout, or alternately use dried herbs to taste.  (Be careful with dried herbs, use sparingly first time) Should have something like the picture.

The site keeps telling me I need more than 10 words to post so here they are

Todays Video Dissection: Marcelo Garcia vs Xande Ribeiro in the 2005 ADCC's, absolute division.

Timeline:

0:32 Garcia pulls guard

0:45 Garcia goes half guard

1:00-1:04 Xande does a great job of controlling top and taking mount

1:10 Garcia escapes via knee-elbow

1:12 Garcia sits up and sweeps Xande

1:46 Xande almost gets the sweep, but settles for a leg attack

2:00 Garcia escapes, is on top again

2:24 another attempted leg attack

2:59 De la Riva

I saw a discussion about this on another site and thought I would get your opinions.  One of the best BJJ matches I have ever seen is 2004 championship between Jacare and Roger Gracie.  should Roger have won because he broke Jacare's arm and without being under the limmitations of round times would have probably finished him?  Did Jacare only win because he could run away and let the time run out as he was up on points?  What say you?

1:30: I love the De La Riva guard , and Kron refuses to be swept. He falls on his butt but hops back up again.

2:40 Anyone have any idea what's going on at 2:40? Some kind of collapsed De La Riva?

3:27 talk about a tenacious and toothy guard, good lord.

3:35 .. and then comes this beautiful beautfil sweep.

5:25 Fear the X-Pass! (That one is for you, Coach Eric! ;)

5:40 But Kron too has a tenacious and toothy guard.
