Another beginners class and a continuation of the previous classes on the armbar, leg triangle and omoplata drill. But today we also added defence techniques into the mix.
These went something like this:
The armbar defence was the lion kill defence: this involved the man on top being attacked and pulling the attacked arm up with his free hand and wrapping it around the opponent's knee so that both arms are wrapped around the opponent's leg and are preventing the arm straightening for the armbar. The knee then wedges in to prevent the opponent moving as you crunch and stack your opponent and gradually pull your arm free. You then secure the knee and the head and drive into you opponent in side control.
The triangle defence was twofold: the first involved using the attacked arm to posture up and solidify your frame, then posture up even further to prevent the opponent collapsing your posture, then using the space you've created to bring your other arm in and go back into guard or escape guard; the second involved posturing up, then securing the opponent's knee with one hand, driving your own knee into the opponent's hip to prevent him from turning, then corkscrewing around until you break the opponent's legs before sinking into side control.
The omoplata: this involved driving your bum into the air and basing on you head and free arm, then kicking one leg next to the other and moving clockwise over the top of your opponent until you come into side control.
Some very cool stuff today and all of it basic and all of it worth knowing.
LESSON FROM TODAY: Same as before: practise basic drills and ensure you keep good grips.
