Sunday the 1st of March Fundamentals

1:We started out in mount position,and our partner had their elbows in defending their neck.They bucked and bridged,and we kept low and just held the position,by touching our feet together under their knees.(b)They then bridged to the left,so we kept low again,posted our left hand out,and cupped the right hand behind their neck.(c)this time our partner bucked to the right,so we kept low,post the right hand out,and cupped behind the right side of their neck with our left hand.

2:Again same setup as drill 1 ,but this time our partner used both their hands on our chest to push us away.we circled thier right arm with our left hand and placed it on their chest,then placed our right hand on top of our left,pushed up and juped to a squat,so our left foot ended up being by their right ear.From here we stepped over their head with our left  foot,slide down their right arm(or Bat pole as Geoff calls it),grabbed their right arm with both hands,squeezed our knees together,welded their little finger to the centre of our chest,and lay back for the tap.Note(dont grabbed the arm until you have sat down on your butt).This is known as the basic armbar from mount.

3:Again same set up as drill 1,and our partner bucked and bridged.We let them brigde to the left hand side.As soon as they did we swung our left knee up to their right ear.We then gave them more space to get to all fours.Once here we got their back by getting the hooks with our feet.Using our left hand now,we placed it under their left forearm,pushed our feet back,thrusted our hips forward,flattening them our.We then had the option of going for the 2 Rear naked chokes discussed in the previous class.

4:(Tony’s stuff)Drill posisiton 1 again with our partner defending their neck.We placed both hands on their wrists,and leaned forward,placing alot of pressure on their hands.We swung our right leg forward,and over their left arm,and under their head.We then brung our left leg under their left arm.We grabbed their right arm with our left hand and posted on our right hand.From here we placed our left leg over their head,squeezed the kness for the armbar

5:Exactly the same setup as drill 4,to the point of grabbing their arm.We let them roll us over.As soon as they did this we grabbed our right ankle with our left hand,pulled it down,so we could swing the left leg over.Because we still had the arm trapped,we placed it to the opposite side of our body,squeezed their head down,for the Triangle.
