Purple Belt Darren Brown took class tonight as Geoff was away. With almost 40 on the mat it was a challenging class.

Class Mon 19 Apr

2 types of kneeride – first grab behind their head while other grabs far knee, then pull up to align your knee, hip and shoulder turning your opponent into the letter U. This sucks their energy. The other kneeride is low and hunting for the opportunity for a submission. Your shin is across their belly with little to no weight on your foot, the other leg floats out for support. Your right hand is outside your knee, acting as both a post and to block their hip while they go spastic, like in side control, again without too much weight. Your left hand is controlling behind their head.

Near armbar – grab behind their tricep of the near arm (thumb down). Straighten your body and pull up on their arm. Step your left foot over their head with control – you’ll know your doing this if you can step back and forth to reset and your upper body doesn’t move and you don’t kick your opponent in the head. Slide down the back of their arm, so you get good hip penetration and use your right arm to wrap their arm close to your body. Weld their little finger to your chest, thumb up and break the arm.

Far arm bar – from the low hunting kneeride, fake an attack on the near arm. They don’t need to put their hand on your knee. Reach under their far arm, grab their tricep, and up and crush by putting your elbow through their solar plexus. They make a funny noise, change colour and turn towards you. Spin on the ball of your right foot and kick them in the belt with your left foot, staying low while you spin. Get good hip penetration, squeeze your knees, attach their pinky to your chest and break their arm.

The more you fake for an armbar on either side, the more the attack their arms, exposing their neck. Put your left hand behind their head. Put 4 fingers low inside their lapel and zipper them up to make the baseball grip (your hands don’t have to touch). Bring your top elbow down to your bottom elbow, this will turn you towards their head, they may try to defend by putting their near arm in the way, kill this by driving your knee over the top of it and get it out the way by ’sliding fir home’. Put your head on the side you just came from and shoulder on their belly. Tripod up and pull your elbows to your back.

Hey all. Here are the 2 clips I mentioned in class that cover the Triangle stuff we did last week.

Both clips are by Rigan Machado and it’s the stuff he taught in Australia in 2008.

So here they are, visuals from the master!

I have a new toy. John showed me his new “Flip Video” and I just had to get one. I tested it on Thursday at the fundamentals class and love it. Straight to youtube in mp4 format. Look out for some clips from classes in the near future. Hopefully this will expand the news site by adding a bit of sound and movement. Stay tuned.

For now here are a couple of small test clips from the class.
