141st, 142nd #bjj lesson. Lots of grabbing the collar when my opponent is in turtle and transitioning to opp. side knee first, looking for the hook. Meh....sometimes I get it. #faixabranca

139th #bjj lesson. Gi. 8am Open mat is a great way to start the day, wake up the body......only to have a #purplebelt try and put you to sleep again. #faixabranca

[Gordon Shumway @obucni]

137th & 138th #bjj lessons. No Gi & Gi. Back take from under a north south position? Total #bjj witch craft. Also using real top pressure from side control. Details......#faixabranca

[Gordon Shumway @obucni]

135th #bjj lesson. No Gi. 5 and a half minutes of knee on belly and I’m grunting and groaning. It just made the black belt laugh even more. #whitebeltproblems #faixabranca

[Gordon Shumway @obucni]

133rd & 134th #bjj lessons. Gi. I’ve said it before but nothing can beat those #whitebelt scrambles. Crazy fun. #faixabranca

[Gordon Shumway @obucni]

131st #bjj lesson. No Gi. Sweaty no-gi slip sliding, makes the rolls faster. #faixabranca

[Gordon Shumway @obucni]

130th #bjj lesson. Gi. Open mat. Getting munched by purple belts today. They don’t mess around, so quick. No time to escape arm-bars. #faixabranca
