Thursday the 6th of November Fundamentals
1:Tonight we started on mount and rested on our partners forearms(keeping low and sprawled).They would buck and bridge forward,and we would have to ride it out and keep control.The main point being to keep low and tuck your feet under their legs for control.
2:Same as drill 1 only this time they would buck and bridge left and right.We would keep low and cup the back of their head with 1 hand depending on what side they would roll to.So if they rolled to our left,we cupped the back of their head with the right hand and posted on our left hand.
3:Same again but as our partner gave one big buck to either the left or right side,we would come to side mount.From here we would give them some space,so they would come to their knees.We put our hooks in,and placed our left hand under their left arm to grab the forearm.Pulling their forearm back,and thrusting forward we squashed them down to the mat.
4:Putting it all together our partner would buck and bridge forward,and go to the left and right,then give one big bridge and roll to either side.Depending on what side we would give them some space to come to their knees.Put our hooks in grab the forearm,thrusht forward to flatten them out.
5:Rear naked choke from knees.Our partner was on their knees,and we were behind them.Our right hand goes under their neck and gets as close as possible to our left shoulder.The Idea being to take out as much space as possible..With our left hand we raise it up and blade down between our face and the back of their neck,taking away what space is left.
6:Putting it all together.They buck and bridge,we let them roll over to their knees.Take hooks,squash them down,bring our right hand through for the Rear naked choke.
7:Geoff then covered the”Oh Shit Mechanism” drill.This is when we were standing facing our partner,and they would aim a big right hander at our head.We then did 2 things:(1) ducked down to avoid being hit (2) brought our left and right hands over our head as if we were rubbing hair wax in our hair(muttering to ourselves”Oh Shit”).We then closed the gap and came around to their right hand side,swinging our right arm around their stomach,coming around to take the back.We then swung the right hand over their neck,bumped their butt with our hips,pulling them so they sat on our knee.Once they were on our knee,we closed the gap further by walking our right hand up as far as we could to our left shoulder,taking away all the space,and blading our left hand(Palm facing us) between our face and the back of their neck resulting in a rear naked choke which we covered a few classes ago.(from when our partner was on all fours).
