Sunday the 15th of March Fundamentals
Tonight Geoff was away so Hemi and a few of the Blues explained there favourite passes and sweeps:
1:Hemi’s sweep:(This is also Geoff’s favourite sweep).Our partner is in our guard.We grabbed their right hand at the Gi cuff and pulled it over to the right hand side of our body,as if to face plant them(making sure that our chest was blocking their bicep,so they couldn’t pull the arm back) and slightly shifted our body to the left..We let go our our legs and came up from guard,and swung our left arm over to their left lat,or the left side of the belt.We then ducked under them until they were slightly off balance(this could take a few shuffles under),and reached our right hand under and down to grab their left side Gi pants at the ankle.We cresent kicked our right leg up,and rolled over our left shoulder.Note make sure you latch yourself to them as you roll over.
2:Shano( Basic sweep):Here we have our partner in guard and our right hand was in their collar,and left hand was gripping their right Gi cuff.We then opened our legs and hipped onto our left side,and brought our right knee across to their lower stomach.We then used our whole upper body to pull them forward off their base.As they started to fall,we then used our left leg to kicked their right leg under causing them to turn over,following them over to mount.
3:Roblong(Basic Guard pass):We were stuck in our partners guard.We grabbed their Lapel at the upper chest to stop them from posting up,and came up off our heels.Sitting back dwon on our heels again to put pressure on their legs,we then did 2 things simultaneoulsy(1) used our left leg to push down on their right knee and pop it open(2) sucked our right arm back to our hip to avoid being triangled.Once the legs were open we placed their right leg onto our left shoulder.Coming up now onto our feet,we grabbed their lapel at their neck,and pushed their right knee to their nose,or as close as we could get to make it uncomfortable as possible.We then walked around to the right about 90 degrees keeping the pressure on them.Once here we flicked their leg off our shoulder and secured side control.
4:Crazy’s(Double leg under pass).We started in the postion of being in an open guard of our partner so that their legs were open,and we had 1 knee up.We placed the knee down,and wrapped our arms around their legs,and hoisted their but up so that it was sitting on our lap..Just like in Robs Pass we picked a side(left in this case) and ducked our left shoulder down,and put their left knee into their nose,and walked around to secure side control.
5:Adrian’s choke.We had side control,and our partner went for the underhook(coming up onto their side),so we gave them space to be able to do this.We wizzered their arm(left) with our right arm,and brought it under their head and grabbed the collar,so they were trapped and couldn’t get their arm out.We then brought our left hand to the other side collar and put our fingers inside and the thumb outside,and used our weight to bring the arm down blading across their neck for the choke.
