Learning Control and starting to see more things

Lately, I am learning how to control and started seeing things I have not seen before.  I am thinking my way out of a position, like angles, leverage, and trapping sides to turn a fight around.    I am slowly seeing the language itself, and what each movement and reaction is starting to mean.

Yesterday, I applied some of the knowledge in setting a trap for a good friend and training partner.  I baited him to hold on to my arm, so i can trap one side and bump him off me when he had me mounted.  It worked flawlessly.   I figured this out on my own, and had a good "ah ha!" moment.

Jessica and I been training more last 2 weeks outside of class.   I think yesterday I did a big leap in understanding and performance, plus the fact I can get my body to do things, i.e. flexiblity, that when I started I could not.

Feels good, to gain some understanding in the meaning between each movement!
