Private Class No.9...


A private class and some work on the arm bar, omoplata and leg triangle combination. The armbar was OK, and the take-home on the omoplata was a reminder to cross grip and use the nearest arm to grab the opponent's leg to make the attack easier. 


The leg triangle mechanics needed a bit of work and the emphasis was on establishing wrist control on both wrists of the opponent, the left hand stuffs the right arm of the opponent, the right foot on the hip, hips rise, the left leg comes over, the right hand grabs the left leg to close, the right arm underhooking the opponent's outside arm and the right leg pivot left underhook to angle off. then lock leg and flare our foot. 

We then did some work on the breaking the guard using the standing guard break of pushing one of the opponent's hand to the side, then pushing the leg off one side, dropping to combat base, with knee up and one knee hooking the leg, driving for head control, shoulder pressure like a Pez dispenser, step out trapped leg while flattening hips, securing positions. 


We then used this guard break and pass as an entry into a leg lock. The basic mechanics of this are to get the nearest arm under the nearest leg, drop down to the side of the trapped leg with the leg secured; leg under the opponent's leg has heel on hip of opponent with toes pointing out; other leg pinches trapped leg of opponent with foot under trapped leg; then go backwards on elbow to apply pressure; then rooster chest out and turn.
