Class 345...

A bits and bobs class reviewing some improvements for tightening techniques.

Tightening Rear Naked Choke: pulling connected hands under armpit of opponent to protect hands and ensure choke bites deeper.

Then:

Armpit hand grabs hand of opponent and employ hand to shoulder choke.
Gable grip choke with choking arm hand on top and palm of other hand facing up with fingers out.

Move hands into rear naked choke position.

If opponent buries his head, got to rear naked choke position and apply jaw crank.

Finishing Triangle When Apponent Hides Hand: switch legs on triangle, then fish for hidden hand and apply straight armbar or kimura lock. 

Side Control Escape: key tip is to keep frame and use pressure between the hand on the hip and the knee to clamp opponent and probe for opening to recover guard.

Electric Chair from Half Guard Lockdown: swim arm under leg of opponent and swing legs to generate momentum to sweep opponent. Keep his leg on your shoulder and apply pressure. 

Sparring was OK. I hit a nice rolling wrist lock and a guillotine. I am also getting better at avoiding the legs of opponents and my tactic of moving into surfer stance to set up knee cut is the right thing to do. I just need to pull the trigger faster. 

Things to remember: steps to securing neck choke, use knee and arm to probe for openings to recover guard.
