Sunday 9th May Fundamentals
Today we went over some escapes from when you are in side control and pinned on your back.
1:We started off on our backs with our partner in side control(short base) with their 2 arms over to the far side of our body(in these examples we are using our partner to the right of us).Using our forearms we push them down till they are touching our thighs.We then do 2 things,Bump up and hip out to create space.When this is done we then slide our knee through to the other side of our patners body.Using this knee as a pivot, we then rotated our Torso around 90 degrees inline with our partner.We then put our them into Guard.
2:Same postion with side control again only this time we use our right hand to block our partners left hip, and bumped up and up until we can get the under hook(Hipping out).Once we secured the underhook we then hipped out and flicked onto all fours, diving under our partners body deep to off balance them.
3:Same position again only this time our partner the underhook and a monkey grip(both hands claspped) under our left shoulder.We take our left hand and placed it on their left shoulder so that our forearm was under their jaw.We then rasied our arm to create enough space to get to a position of being able to rotate our arm to get the underhook.We then proceeded to do the same movements as postion 2(Hip out, flick to all fours and go deep under to off balance our partner)
4:Our partner has us in the same position as number 3, this time we use what is known as the sidewinder.We walk out feet out a couple of inches to the left, then hip out a couple of inches,then shoulder a couple of inches.We keep doing this until there is enough space to bring our right hand to our right ear and our left hand to get the underhook.This time instead of going to our knees we duck under our partners right hand and take their back.
For the last 5 minutes we quicky went over the 3 basic Bluebelt headlock escapes which have been covered in a few previous posts in depth.
