More work on the same side collar and sleeve control from open and full guard.
The key ideas from both classes involved stuffing the arm with wrist control and hip escaping to the side, then attacking the back to apply neck pressure and a choke.
Maintaining grip tension to collapse the opponent's frame was a key concept. Keeping mobile hips is also important to connect this position to the omoplata.
I got battered in sparring by senior belts, but I at least offered some resistance and the threat of wrist locks from unlikely positions is giving opponents something to consider. Unless I can hit a fast sniper wrist lock, I probably need to focus on fighting for and retaining position.
But I'm still playing with things at the moment and trying to introduce butterfly guard attacks and wrist locks so there will be mistakes and a learning curve along the way.
Things to remember: Always position before submission; drill wrist locks if you are going to use them.
