In the first, we worked on a couple of hip escape techniques from on the bottom in side control. The first of these involved pushing the opponent's chest to create the space to hip escape, then bringing a knee across and inserting a hook. The second involved hip escaping by driving your forearm under the opponent's throat, then pushing off to create distance and grabbing the free hand of the opponent to prevent him passing to side.
We then did some work on defending the hip escape from on the top in side mount. The first point was to keep tight and deny the opponent space to work. Then it was a matter of crossing your hands and placing one hand on the knee of the opponent to prevent him inserting it into your chest and using the other hand to drive into his armpit to flatten him out and prevent him hip escaping.
In the second class we did some work on the scissor sweep from the bottom, starting out in closed guard. We then did some work on leg triangle set-ups. Hip escaping and using hand grips to break down the opponent's posture was also heavily emphasised here.

LESSON FROM TODAY: Hip escaping, hip escaping, hip escaping... And closing down space to prevent the opponent hip escaping, too.
