Class 335...

Another no-gi class and a few things to work on and plays with. These included:

Half guard escape and pass for man on top No.1: win underhook, flatten opponent, secure head control and apply shoulder pressure; stand on legs and head forms point of base to drive into opponent, knee cut pass inside; underhook leg of opponent; kick out trapped leg, then switch hips and push opponent onto his back in side control.

Half guard escape and pass for man on top No.2: Same as above but used trapped leg to move opponent onto other side, then pull trapped leg out to gain mount or use head as base and use free leg to kick out trapped leg. 

We then did some guillotine drills and apply using this to to the half guard escape if the man on the bottom comes up.

We then did a sitout drill from turtle: shoot for leg with inside arm, kick out with inside leg and use outside arm to drive against hip of opponent to create escape space; then turn in to flatten opponent. 

I got comprehensively ruined in sparring by a good wrestler and a couple of senior belts, but I did fine against others of similar status or lower. I am also persevering with the Williams guard and hit the triangle choke today. 

Things to remember: half guard escape and pass, wrestler sitout.
