Sunday the 6th of July Fundamentals
Today we started off with one of Johns sweeps he covered in his recent seminar:
1:Our partner is kneeling down and We have a grip on our their collar with our right hand, and our feet are in their hips(toes pointed out).We then hipped out to our right hand side,so that we are sitting on our left butt check.From their we placed our left foot at the base of their right knee and brought our left leg up under theirleft armpit.We did 3 things simutaneously:1 pull them forward off balance 2 kicked their right knee our from under them 3 kicked their left armpit with our right shin. this enabled the sweep and we followed them over to mount.
2:We went head to head and each had a go at slipping our heads to the right hand side to their neck,so that we weren’t directly centered.From here we brought our right hand over to their left knee, and pulling that knee towards us and driving their head away from us followed them over to the mount position.
3:Here we started from head to head again and one of us would jump to guard
4:Here we went head to head again and did the exercise in drill 2, only this time instead of going to mount we went to side control.
5:Here we had half guard but our partner has the underhook.With our right and we would block their left hip, and with our left arm we would grabbed their right arm.We would then hip away to the left in order to create enough space to bring our left knee right into their hip.we would then circle our left arm past our face to take the underhook also dropping our left knee off the hip to launch them forward to duck out the back.
6:This position was similar to number 5 with the half guard setup except this time we dived down so we were completley under our partner. Our right hand would grabbed their left foot and we would then bring our left hand around and transfer their left foot to this hand from our right hand.We then placed our right hand around their left knee, and as we pulled this knee towards us.We also pulled our legs towards us causing our partner to fall to the left hand side.Still having hold of their left foot we then came around to side control
