i) Opponent in your closed guard; right hand grabs opponent's left sleeve and left hand grabs opponent's right led on gi; open the guard and stuff the arm so the elbow can't base out; bridge and kick through with the left leg to sweep the opponent over; opponent bases with his left arm; bridge up again and drive forward to sweep him so you come on top in mount.

We then went onto sparring and I did OK with my fellow white belts. I'm starting to use the guard position a lot more and launch attacks from it and I threatened a few kimuras and cross collar chokes. I'm also using the hand in collar and wrist control position and finding that really helpful. I even early caught a couple of Ezekiels today.
Things to remember: The omaplata sweep and its variations; persevere with the guard as it's starting to pay dividends.
