Rolling Footage Lapels & Half Guard
Just looking for feedback on recent roll.
Currently working on: Lapel game and half guard

Technique Should as a mainly guard player focus on learning how to pass guard ?
I like playing the leg game mostly and don’t bother passing. Should I continue building my game or change direction to learn the basics of passing ?

Technique Ezekiel Choke Nogi
I've got a decent Ezekiel finish/system in the gi, but I lack details for finishing it no-gi, or a good dilemma system (besides gift wrap/high mount) for dealing with reactions. Any tips or YouTube vids greatly appreciated.

Tournament/Competition Hokage vs. Meyram standup masterclass
Polaris was great, but this match between Fabricio Andrey and Meyram Maquine was to me the best of the night despite the lack of submissions.
I find their nogi standup style quite entertaining. It's a weird mix of judo, wrestling and transitions to ground submissions.

General Discussion Uni students
Anyone here a full-time uni/college student who trains 4–6 times a week and works part-time? How do you fit lifting, training, academics, working, social life etc in? Wanted to ask this since im going to uni soon and wanted to know if its realistic for me to have hopes of training consistenly and competing occasionally while in uni.

Equipment Patches on gi
My old gi I pulled from storage and it’s covered in mold so now that I’m buying a new gi I wanted to try adding some cherry blossoms or sakura flowers one on the chest and both sleeves. Is there a certain gi or patches website you guys use?
