The first class was largely a sparring class where I was exhausted and just collapsed as a fighter. It's the first time this has happened, but a lack of sleep and proper food took its toll and I got ruined. I just wasn't prepared physically and I was all over the place mentally.
The following class was much more productive and we were taught a basic guard escape and pass, then we went into specific sparring, where I did OK.
The guard break from closed guard went something like this:
i) Posture up in the closed guard of the opponent and create a frame by pinning the opponent's gi collar his chest with your right hand and his right hip to the floor with your left hand. The heels of both palms drive down to pin the opponent. Keep the elbows in and locked.
ii) Right foot stands and you stand on your left foot, then open your hips and twist to your left to break the guard.
iii) Move to knee slide or double unders smash pass to pass out of guard.
Sparring was more productive at this but it was a constant drill sparring so it was tiring.
Things to remember: Drill basic guard break and pass.
