Thursday the 2nd of April Fundamentals
1:Tonights class we started with our partner on our hooks,and we were lying on our backs.(a)We came up and got the double overhooks,pulled our partner off their base,and lay on our backs again,then came up and let them go so they were sitting on our hooks again,and lay on our backs again(b)again came up and got the double underhooks,pulled them of their base and lay back down again,then came up,let them go so they were sitting on our hooks again,and lay on our backs(c)came up again and got the right arm underhook and the left arm overhook,pulled them off their base and lay back down again,then came up so they were sitting on our hooks again,and lay back down(d)came up and got the left arm underhook and the right arm overhook,and pulled them off their base,and lay back down again,repeating the drill over and over.Note our partner would post their hands down on the mat to avoid being face planted.
2:This drill we had knee ride on our partner(our right leg was across their belt line,and our left leg was used as an outrigger,at about the 8:00 postion so that our partner couldn’t grab our leg.).They would move around from left to right.We would ride it out(b)Same again but we had our hands ready.They brought their right shoulder up off the ground to attempt an escape,we pushed it back down to the mat.They then brought their left should up and we did the same again,alternating.
3:Same as drill 2(b) again but this time we missed pushing the right shoulder down.We let them roll over and took side back mount(b)We missed the left shoulder,and they rolled into us.We dropped our right knee to the ground,put our left hand under their head,and our right hand under their left but cheek,and rolled them back over to their back to secure side control.
4:we had drill 1 position again.We placed our hands on their chest facing down toward their legs,and spun around 180 degree’s to the opposite side,placing our left knee on the belt line now,and our right leg as the outrigger(hands going to opposite shoulders now).Repeating this back to the other side,alternating from left to right
5:Same setup as drill 4 but this time we added an extra step in.We came around to the top 90 degrees and placed our left leg on their collar bone,then came back to our starting position,then spun around 180 degrees to secure knee ride..Then 90 degrees and placed our right leg into their collarbone,then back to knee ride etc,doing this randomly.
6:We put all the above drills together,moving from left to right, dropping down or back up to knee ride,into the collarbone etc,depending on how our partner would move.
7:Knee ride again.Our left thumb would go deep into the back of their collar(thumb first).Our right side would go into the opposite side collar.We then tried to touch our elbows together (baseball grip)while coming around to North/South trying to take out all the space between our arms.We then tripoded up and placed our left shoulder into the middle of their chest and pulled our partners upper body off the ground,for the Tap.This is know as the spinning choke.
8:same objective as drill 7 but this time we started on the left hand side first,and got a grip with our right hand into their collar,then came back to right hand sideto knee ride.We Inserted the left hand into their collar(deep grips)Came around to North/South,left shoulder on the chest,pulling them up for the tap.The idea with this drill was to get the hard side hand into the collar first.
