Thursday the 23rd 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.
Geoff explained about Tapping early to avoid injury,and tap you partner not the mat
2:This drill we were standing in our partners open guard,and they hand their feet on either side of our hips.We overhooked their right leg with our left arm,and slid it up so our wrist was up under their ankle capturing it.From here we stepped over their leg placing it on the opposite side (their left) and dropped to our right knee.Bringing our right leg in between their legs, we trapped the left leg fully.We rolled over to the right side(face down),and placed our head under their left foot.We then stretched ourselves back slowly for the tap.
3:Again we were in our partners open with their feet on our hips again.Instead of going for the overhook on the right foot, we went for the underhook,and slid our hand up again to their ankle.We then stepped around and placed our left foot by their left hip,and sat on the hip.We then sldie off their hip onto the mat onto our left hand side,placing our head under their foot,and squeezing our knees together for the tap.
4:Our partner had us in half guard this time.We postured up and backed away to create space, pinned their left hand to their hip,stepped our left leg over,and rolled onto the mat onto our left hand side capturing their right leg,placing our head under and squeezing the knees just like drill 3.
5:Again we were in half guard and our partner had the underhook ready to escape.We stepped the opposite direction this time ,lifting out heel to catch the leg,and sat on their hip,rolled off ot the left side again,placed our head under their foot and squeezed our knees together stretching away for the tap.
6:Same as drill 5 but our partner goes to go out the back, we pre-empted it and went to drill 5.
