So I made a little video (not porn). It's on my profile: Leg Weave Pass. If you wouldn't mind, give it a quick look and tell me what you think. I'm looking for constructive criticism... That being said, if you think it's garbage, try and say it nicely. lol

Just kidding.
It's fine :)
Why the seal feet though once you reach sidecontrol?
If you're making a next video I would suggest troubleshooting and follow-ups for that - e.g. what if you can't pin the wrist, what to do if the knee shield is high and you can't smash it down etc etc.

I thought it was very clear in the details you pointed out.
The background at the start is very busy with a lot of gear along the back wall, maybe for the next one shoot from a different angle so there's less clutter behind you.
Would be good to see the pass in action after the detailed explanation :)

I thought you did a nice job. I felt like I heard someone talking in the background, which was a bit distracting. This is one of my favorite passes, especially in the gi.

Thanks for your input! I know that the video is a bit "noisy". I didn't really make it for anyone but myself. I'm trying to get to brown belt, but I don't teach very often anymore. I'm trying to think of things that work for me and practice teaching those things. :)

Our club doesn't allow cameras on the mat. I haven't seen myself roll or anything in a couple years. So this is something that I'm really just doing to help myself.

Thanks for your help! Honestly, this is the first one I've made that I'm showing people. It really is just for me to help me learn. I was a professional ski instructor for 20 years, and I always felt that video really helped me improve. Like self study if that makes sense. :)

Thanks so much. I know that there is background noise. lol. People are so disrespectful. I mean, they saw what I was doing, but continued to be noisy. lol
