Thursday 21st of August Fundamentals
1:Tonight we started off in semi open guard.With our left hand we gripped our partners right sleeve,and with our right hand we reached down and grabbed their Gi at the ankle.Our partner would then raise up off their knees.As they did this we pulled their right hand across our body to stop them from posting,kicked our right shin into their left armpit and raised their left leg up to sweep them over.
2:This time we had same grips as position 1, but as we tried to sweep our partner over they would stand up on their right leg, sp we couldn’t go for the sweep.so we just switched grips.Grabbing their left wrist with our right hand and coming around to grab their right Gi pants at the ankle,kicking up and sweeping over the other way.
3:This time we have the same setup as drill 1 but our partner is ballanced 50/50 so they are not coming up.We still go for the sweep and instead of landing in mount position,we fall by their side but still have control of the right arm between our legs.We then squeezed our knees and welded their little finger to our chest for the arm bar.
4:This time we were in Guard and had grabbed our partners right sleeve.Our partner went to step up and go for the basic guard pass on their left leg.we would let go the guard and our right hand would swing under their left leg,swing our hips high up,bringing our left leg over their head chopping our knee across their neck.Because we still had hold of their right sleeve,we pulled that tight into our chest and locked our knees together,bridging the hips for the arm bar.The Ideal is to put as much weight as poosible onto the left leg
