Private Class No.14...

A private class working on wrist locks for BJJ. 

We worked on a few gooseneck compression locks from side mount, triangle and mount. The key dynamics were backstop opponent's elbow, turn wrist at an angle, then compress.

My favourite, however, and the lock I intend to use right away is the compression lock from a gi collar grab. The mechanics of this are:
Opponent grabs same side gi collar; use both hands to lock opponent's arm in place above bicep with elbows in tight; move in with head on opponent's shoulder facing away from him; move opponent's arm towards his rib cage and roll shoulder in to attack integrity of straight wrist; pull opponent's arm in and retain shoulder roll to close space and get tap.

This is an attack that can be used from both standing and kneeling to either force a submission or take an opponent down.

I also talked to my teacher about how I was using the overhook to link full guard and half guard; and how I was also starting to use butterfly guard. He suggested I also use the overhook attack to link all three guards. 

This is going to take silly amounts of time but my mind is now officially blown by new possibilities!
