An open mat session and a bit of sparring, both gi and no-gi, and some basics drilled thanks to a very helpful blue belt, who also showed me a very nifty escape from knee on belly.
This escape involved hip-escaping and driving your high knee between the opponent's legs then catching the top of your knee with both hands and rolling backward so the opponent's trapped knee (and the rest of him) comes with you and you end up in mount or, at worst, half-guard.
I'm going to have a play with this because it's quite useful. I also need to spot the threat of collar chokes much earlier as I'm falling for a few of these at the moment.
LESSON FROM TODAY: Play with the knee on belly escape and work on a strategy to avoid collar chokes.
