Sunday the 17th of Feb Fundamentals
1:Tonight we stated with our partner in Side control.We would then use both forearms to hold our partner in place by our knees and bump up, bring our right leg through swing it round and pull our whole body through and bring our partner into our guard.They would then go into postion number 2
2:Basic Guard pass.This is when we are in guard, we posture back and get good grips along our partners jacket with both hands.The idea is to open our partners legs so we posture back and stand up on our left leg keeping our leg well back and out of reach of our partner(If our partners head is at 12:00 try to imagine our leg at 7:30).Push our partners right knee while moving our hips back towards his feet.As his legs open up we pull our right elbow to touch our thigh.Reaching under his right leg with our left arm we get a good grip on his jacket right up by his left lapel.With our shoulder we drive forward taking his right knee towards his face.Driving your left elbow to the mat beside our partners head we rotate our upper body slightly to the right sliding his leg past our face(keeping the pressure on at all times to make it uncomfortable)We then come back into side control.
3:Basic sweep: We have our partner in our closed guard and have our right arm in his collar and are controlling the right hand.Our partner has stood up on his left leg to pass our guard.Control his right arm and his upper collar.Uncross your ankles and pivot on his left leg.Swing your hips back and slide onto our right side.Slide your right leg through and bring your shin across his stomach.We then pull are partner forward to off balance them so the weight is off their legs.Scissor your legs causing them to fall to the left and follow over onto the mount position.
4:Basic armbar from Mount:We have the mount position and have smothered our partners face with our chest to make them want to push us up.He then does this.We circle the right arm with both our palms on his chest and prepare to rotate clockwise.pushing with both hands we kick both our legs out and slide down his arm to the right(Sliding down the bat pole).We then land under our partners right shoulder,squeeze our knees together hold his hand strongly to our chest with his thumb pointing upward and flex our left leg so we can lift our hips high enough to be able to dislocate the shoulder
5:Armbar from Side mount.This is when we have gone from mount to sidemount position because our partner has turned onto his right side.We are sitting on our left leg and our right leg is over his mid section.We use our right had to hook under his left bicep to secure his arm.We then sit on his right shoulder, kick out our left leg and sit down on our butt bringing the left leg over to trap his head.Just like in arm bar 4 we weld his arm close to our chest thumb towards us, squeeze the knees and lie back briging our hips
6:Variation on armbar 5:This is when we are in mount and grab his right sleeve and bring it over to his left shoulder, slide up and take side mount position again and repeat the rest of the steps in number 5
We then put it all together doing the various moves
