Thursday the 30 January Fundamentals
Tonight We started off on Mount position while our partners bucked and bridge a little to get us us to this position Key points were staying low
Next we were in the same postion again but this time we cupped our partners head with 1 hand and with the same arm placed our elbow in their sternum, spiking them to make it uncomfortable to shut them down
Next we were in the same mount position again and did what was called the Superman-which is placing our calve muscles under our partners and with our pelvis thrust forward placing all our weight into their stomach.This made it difficult for our partners to move with the pressure.
We now put it all together and made our partners buck and bridge, and when it got to much we used either the cupping of the head or the superman move to shut them down.
The next part of the class were for the one’s underneath mount
The first move was to buck and bridge until we could grab one of our partners arms to lock their elbow into the middle of our stomach’s with one hand and the other clasp behind their Tricep (same arm).Then on the same side we placed our foot trapping theirs and did a Bridge and roll over to be in their guard
for example.If we trapped the right arm, then we would trap the right foot of our partners as well.
The next move was a bridge to 1 side and bring the leg through to get a hook, from here we could bridge to the opposite side to get the other hook
The nex move we covered was the bridge to elbow knee escape which involved bridging through to one side and bringing our elbow to our knee.This made it difficult for our partner as it put them off balance.from here we could launch them off to 1 side
The last move was the Marcello Garcia move.This involved being underneath with our partner on mount without their legs being locked under ours.we then placed our hands in their hips and did a big bridge locking our arms elevating them up enough to bring our legs through placing our partners on our hooks.
key point to remember.We are not trying to bench press them, we are using the momentum from the bridge to lock our arms.
