Today, a lunchtime class with some
specific techniques, followed by sparring.
The techniques all employed arm drags
and pretty much went as follows:
Arm drag to back sweep: you are
standing facing an opponent in a clinch position with collar (right hand) and
sleeve control (left hand); close the distance by using the collar control;
place the left foot above the right knee of the opponent like it’s a sort of
pulling guard move, then stuff the opponent’s right arm with the sleeve control
so it continues the off-balancing process started with the leg attack; keep the
distance closed at the head using the collar control and drop back dragging the
opponent on top of you; as he falls, insert your right hook and spin him over
then follow him into side control.
Arm drag from closed guard to back
attack: attack for armbar but shrimp out to side and stuff arm so you can
attack the back; insert hook and move round.
Sparring was OK and I pretty much
rolled with white belts and I didn’t get murdered. I’m doing better from
guard at the moment and my half-guard is OK-ish. The other key thing I’m
getting into a better habit at is using my frame to fend off attacking
opponents.
Things to remember: Attack for the
armbar and attack the back from closed guard.
