Class 152...

Today was an early morning class with some technique drilling, followed by some work on half guard.

We drilled the arm bar, kimura and omaplata from closed guard before starting work on a half-guard technique. This was:

Half guard escape from underneath opponent: secure an underhook, then hip escape onto side with knee under armpit of opponent, then hands pushing the hands of the opponent to stretch him out, eventually attack back with hooks in. 

Half guard escape from underneath opponent: secure an underhook, then hip escape onto side with knee under armpit of opponent, then hands pushing the hands of the opponent to stretch him out, drop down to his belly and follow him up, then switch base, remove posts and drive in and collapse him.

In sparring, I did OK and defended myself against much bigger and stronger opponents. I also threatened a sleeve choke at one point.

Things to remember: Bury head and get underhook in half guard, also switch base to come to knees
