Classes 158 & 159...

Two early morning classes, both focusing on control positions and submissions from Side control. 

The techniques went something like this: 
Secure opponent's gi at back of neck with right hand; left elbow blocks opponent's hip movement; step over opponent's neck with right leg; choke between right hand and leg to submit.
Shoulder pressure using arm under neck and driving weight into opponent; opponent gets underhook; arm under neck swims out and traps opponent's arm at his side; switch base and go to straight arm lock.
Variation: If opponent defends by grabbing belt, then use own arm to lift his belt and lock opponent's arm in place; free hand goes deep in collar and under neck to choke; if that fails, roll opponent onto side and bring knee between own arms and on back of opponent's neck; drive in with knee and sag back with arms.

In sparring, I did OK in both sessions. I'm starting to feel more up to speed again. 

Things to remember: Shoulder pressure!
