Class 25...

Today I attended my first evening beginner's class at the BJJ school, as previously I'd only been attending mixed sessions, and it was very good.

First we worked on a kimura. Key details from this were hip escaping out so you can use your weight to bend the arm when you drop back down. Also keep the leg over the opponent to prevent him from moving or rolling out.

Hip bump sweep: kimura position but with one hand fully back and straight to hold weight and the hip high to drive through opponent and roll him over. Also ensure you are over your opponent's shoulder.

Hide and seek: you grab the same arm on the opponent and elevate it and dive your other arm and head underneath his armpit, before settling backwards down on his arm so it's a type of backward kimura that pins the opponent. Then hip escape out and secure the seatbeat and your hooks and get back.

LESSON FROM TODAY: I need to attend more beginners' classes so I can learn and drill more basics.
