The quest to return to competition begins this week with a few events ear-marked in June later this year. So I'm trying to increase my training.
Today was an early morning mixed class working on passing the spider guard. The keys to this were:
i) Control the opponent's gi trousers at the knee with firm hand grips
ii) Maintain good posture and keep a safe distance from the opponent.
iii) Get rid of the legs by stepping to the side to break the leg control and pass the other over the leg to escape bicep control.
iv) Pass and go into kimura control from the side then work the kimura from side control. Step over the head of the opponent if needed.
Sparring was OK and a two-week lay-off wasn't as debilitating as I feared it might be.
Things to remember: Secure the control grips to control the opponent's legs; use the kimura control.
