Sunday the 7th of December Fundamentals
1:Tonight we started off with the Basic sweep:We have our partner in our guard with our right hand in their collar,and left had gripping their right sleeve.They go to pass by putting their left leg back to 7:00 where we couldn’t grab it.We opened our legs and hipped out to the right hand side,and swung our right leg so the shin was across their stomach.(Our left leg was dropped to the mat).Stretching our upper body forward,we pulled them off balance and swept them over onto mount posisiton.
2:Hooking sweep:Same grips and postion as drill 1 but this time instead of our partner putting their left leg our to 7:00,the brought it out to 8:00 so it was just out of our hand grabbing it.We let go our legs,and used their left leg as a pivot with our right leg and hipped out to the right.Kicking ourselves in the butt we brought this leg back and circled our right foot under to get the hook.Stretching our upper body back like drill 1 we pulled them forward and raised our right foot up off balancing them causing them to roll over, we followed them over to mount.
3:Scissor sweep:Same grips and postition as drill 1.This time out partner went to pass,and placed their right leg at 9:00(Well within our hand grabbing reach).We dropped out collar grip with our right hand,and placed it behind their left ankle,at the same time swinging our left leg out and rotating 90 degrees.We then swung this leg back to the mat cutting down by their right leg,and raised our right arm up off balancing them so they rolled over,coming to mount.
4:Again same grips as drill 1 but this time our partner placed thier leg at 7:00 again,and came up off their knees.Letting go of our right hand in their collar,and reaching underneath, we grabbed their right gi pants at the ankle.We then pulled this towards us off balancing them or sitting them back on their butt locking them down again so we could regroup.
5:Geoffs sweep:(This is one of Geoff’s favourite sweeps)Same grips as drill 1,and our partner was in our guard sitting on their knees.We let go of their collar with our right hand,and reached around to grab their left gi pants at the ankle.Letting go our legs, we dropped our left leg to the mat,and kicked our right leg under their left armpit.This rolled them over to mount.(Point-We still were gripping their right arm to stop them from posting)
6:We then put it all together with our partner dictating where they place their leg etc.We would react depending on what hey would do.
7:This time our partner would either try and pass, or we would have to sweep using one of the above.If either happened, we would start again.
