Sunday the 30th of November Fundamentals
1:Tonight we started off being in side control,with both our partners arms across our body(elbows on the mat).We would bump up,swing our right leg under and through,using this leg as a pivot we would come around 90 degrees,place them in guard.
2:Same postion again but this time our partner would have their right hand blocking our right hip,and the left hand cupping our left shoulder.We would buck and bridge to get our left hand under their right armpit(Underhook).Once we had the underhook we would hip away to the left until their was enought space to turn and go to our knees and on all fours(remember that the left shoulder stays in the same place,and we move our body away)
3:This drill we were on all fours and our partner was sprawled on us(facing North/South),and their arms wrapped aound our stomach.We would capture their left arm with our right arm,move our right arm so that it was in the centre of their stomach,and come up onto our left foot(Placing it as far away as possible-preferable out at 7:00).We then kicked our right leg out as far as possible(Geoff calls this “Jumping out the window”).This caused our parther to drop to the mat.We then came around to the left to take their back.
4A:Here we were on our back with our elbows in, and our partner had North/South position.We used our legs and swung them around to the left then the right then the left.We then did 2 things simultaneously(1)pushed our forearms up to create space(2)used our legs like a clorkscrew and swung them around which in turn swung our whole body around.We ended up on all fours under them.4B:Exactly the same starting postion but this time we placed both arms out to our left creating space that way.When it came time to do the corkscrew we were already half way out.
5:Here we were in our partners side control.Blocking their left hip with our right forearm they would start to come around to North/South.As they did this we would take a free ride around by straightening our right arm.Using their momentum we would roll over and end up on all fours underneath.They wrapped their arms around our stomach,and we would grab the right arm and go into drill 2.
