Class 162...


An early-morning session, featuring a back climb and a sweep from the bottom in half guard. These went something like this: 

i) Opponent's right leg is trapped in your half guard; secure sleeve control of opponent's right hand with either two against one or your right arm only; yank the opponent's right arm across your body and under his; then shrimp out and grab the opponent's left lat; take the back.

ii) Opponent's right leg is trapped in your half guard; secure sleeve control of opponent's right hand with either two against one or your right arm only; yank the opponent's right arm across your body and under his; opponent defends by grabbing your leg; push the opponent away and use his momentum as he comes back to sweep him over. 

I did OK in sparring and I felt quite mobile against three fellow white belts. I also defended quite well and locked in a few submissions. A good class.

Things to remember: Keep working from guard with the arm across the throat and the wrist control. It's starting to pay dividends.
