First up, a class about passing from on top in half guard.
The takehome here was establish head control and exert shoulder pressure, and to ensure the opponent's bottom arm is controlled to prevent him from posturing up to attack. Also ensure his other arm is trapped by pinching it between your thigh and other arm.
The second class showed a sweep from the bottom: from double wrist control with butterfly hooks in, establish a foot wrap on the arm; use the other foot to post; bring the opponent in and use hook to kick opponent over. End in side control.
We then worked on using an opponent's lapel to trap the arm, then attacked by moving to mount and using ezekiels and step over triangles.
I did ok at sparring against a few decent blue belts and some good white belts. I was a bit second-best to everyone, but my survival mode kicked in most of the time.
It's good to hit two classes in a week for the first time in ages.
