Yesterday, scientist announced the Triceratops never existed

Capoeira today was another break from Capoeira and instead another Muay Thai day and a return to Brazilian Jujitsu (BJJ). Those present: Andres, Brazilian Jesse, Kevin, Marco, Slim, Carlito, Louis, Diana, Andres' nephew Devin, the dog Naya, and a whole bunch of little kids. We warmed up with soccer.

• 1st combo drilled: Jab, cross, hook. Partner roundhouses. Puncher blocks with a shield (shin raised).
• 2nd combo drilled: Jab, cross, hook, (with A-frame clinch) knee, knee (same side), knee (same side), roundhouse, roundhouse (same side).
• 3rd combo drilled: Same as above, but A-frame clinch pushes after each knee.
• 4th combo drilled: Jab, cross, cross, previous cross turns into elbow strike, (with A-frame clinch) knee, knee (same side), knee (same side), roundhouse, roundhouse (same side).

Then BJJ:

• Reviewed the armbar.
• Reviewed the Triangle choke, which I was always unclear with: From the guard (legs around opponent), 1) control one of opponent's wrist, 2) nearest leg slips under controlled arm and behind opponent's neck (bite), 3) free hand grabs foot behind opponent's neck, 4) extend controlled arm to tighten legs' grip to choke opponent.

Then a BJJ match to demonstrate to the children. Kevin volunteered. I had a "whatever" attitude about it, so Andres picked me. Basically, it was a back-and-forth match. Kevin got side control first. Every time I countered into side control or got the full mount, I gave a thumbs up at everyone for comic relief. Kevin went for a kimura (key lock). I went for an armbar. Time ran out. I won by points.

Ended with a Capoeira game. Andres announced a potluck party this Friday at Diana's (and Louis') place, but embarrassingly blanked out on Louis' name. Ha!

ANDRES: If you're gonna bring something, bring something healthy like fruit, salad --
RYAN: Beer?
[Andres rolls his eyes and tries to sucker kick me!]

RYAN: Can you bench press a Triceratops?
LOUIS: I was bench pressing four Triceratops last night!
RYAN: Ha! Bullshit 'cause scientists announced yesterday the Triceratops never existed!
KEVIN: What?!

And all hell broke lose regarding scientists' discovery.
