A two-week break thanks to a fabulous holiday in Greece and now straight back to class with two early morning sessions.
In the first class, we worked on an attack from half-guard on the bottom, where you grab one of the opponent's legs and bring it to you neck, then clamp down with your top leg to retain the other leg of the opponent. You then swim under his free leg with your free arm and start to off-balance him before driving forward to sweep him and secure top position.
In the second class, it was four rounds of ten-minute sparring. This was tough, but I felt OK, even though I was heavily passed, wrapped and tapped by a good purple belt and a high blue belt.
Things to remember: I continue to experiment with using the overhook clamp and attack from closed guard, and the butterfly guard. I'm having some success with the goodbye choke from the overhook and the guillotine choke attack from a seated guard.
