My second private class and a review of the guard breaks and the guard passing we did last time. Then it was onto moving from side control to north-south and back into side control on the other side; before getting mount. The latter featured a very cool trick about moving backwards, then using the hand to slide the foot over the opponent.
The basics emphasised were to always secure the position, keep everything tight, and ensure your opponent is carrying your weight at all times.
We also did some work on pulling guard from standing, which involved getting an elbow and sleeve grip, then planting the foot on the same side as the elbow grip and dragging the standing man down into guard.
Another great class. I need to keep these up.
Things to remember: Knee up, knee down; the drag into guard.
