A gi class and some work on scissor sweeps with an emphasis on grips and leaning back to create tension to stretch the opponent out.
A couple of new details on this technique included:
i) Securing sleeve and collar control then placing both feet on hips, then shrimp out to extend opponent and create tension. Then move left knee inside against opponent’s shoulder an pushing knee into shoulder and pulling collar to cause discomfort. Opponent then pushes knee and you use this as a trigger to attack for the sweep. Also use non-griping hand to base out at end of sweep so you cannot be counter-swept.
We then worked this into a set-up for a triangle. The only difference was moving the vertical knee left to the outside to attack the opponent’s hand gripping your gi. Apply pressure down, forcing opponent out move arm out so you can close the triangle.
Sparring was against lower belts so I played with butterfly hooks and omoplata attacks. I am now getting more confident about attacking for leg locks.
On a side note, the very good wrestler there hit a couple of wrist locks during the pummelling and stand-up fighting drill we did at the opening of the class. I will steal those techniques.
Things to remember: Shrimping and extending opponent out to create tension on scissor sweep; using scissor sweep position to attack for triangle.
