Tonight, I was at Gracie Barra West Covina. I was late to class, so the only moves that I got to drill was a stand up collar and wrist grip to full guard, lapel grip break to spider guard to spider guard sweep to the opponent's half guard to head and arm control to knee slice pass to side control transition. 

After that, I got to do a live drill for two 6 minute rounds of defending from full guard and passing from the opponent's full guard. I got a lot of sweeps, reversals, and passes. I didn't do any submissions from my back.
Then, I rolled for another 2 rounds and finished up the beginner's class with 20 triangles, 20 oblique crunches for each side, and some stretching. Next, I rolled for two rounds before calling it quits for today.

Seems like the rust is coming off. I'm moving better, but I need to work on my half guard sweeps and butterfly sweeps. I've been mainly relying on reversals from half guard, full mount, and side control.
