A private class and more time on some submission basics from close guard, namely the armlock, the omaplata, the leg triangle and the palm up/shoulder grab choke.
The mechanics of these seemed to be sort of OK, but there were a few tweaks to make.
Armbar: hand position is now better but ensure the leg on the back chops down to keep the opponent out of posture.
Omaplata: one hand on the collar and one hand securing wrist control, drag the hand back as the leg goes over to help collapse the opponent.
Leg triangle: On entry from an overhook, grab the gi collar of the opponent to keep him collapsed. Also don't prop up on an elbow but use the shoulder so the arm.has more reach to control the opponent's arm. Angle off more to tighten the choke, then keep the toes pointing up.
Palm up/shoulder grab choke: first hand goes deep, shoulder grab hand grabs gi and keeps active.
We did a flow drill between the armlock, leg triangle and omaplata, too.
Things to remember: thumb in and fingers out when opening up gi collar of opponent.
