Half guard sweeps and a surprise visitor

Session started around 7. Four of us — me, Dave, Mike, and Jake. Warmed up with some flow rolling, then dove into half guard sweeps.

Focused on the John Wayne sweep and the plan B underhook series. Dave's been getting caught in half guard a lot lately so this was targeted practice for him.

Surprise addition: Dave brought his cousin Tyler who just moved to the area. Blue belt from a school in Pittsburgh. Good pressure, clean technique. Fits the vibe.

Wrapped up around 9. Barn heater held up. Good session.
