Class 354...

Another gi class, which involved a couple of defences from the single leg takedown. These went as follows:

Guillotine Defence Against Single Leg: Opponent attacks for a single leg and secures it with his head inside; you immediately balance on one leg and move his head to the other side; swim your outside arm under his neck; connect hands and pull up for guillotine.

Kimura Defence Against Single Leg: Opponent attacks for a single leg and secures it with his head inside; you immediately balance on one leg and move his head to the other side; use your nearest hand to secure his outside arm; then swim your other arm over to connect up the kimura.

Options from here are: 

Secure the kimura and tap. 

Or insert the hook of the trapped leg behind the thigh of the opponent and fall back and flip opponent over.

Options from flipped opponent are: 

Secure reverse triangle

Wait for opponent to come on top, then keep kimura lock and move backwards on back until you are spooning opponent;  then attack back.

Kimura from Half Guard Bottom: use knee shield to manage distance between you opponent; kick knee shield through to collapse opponent: secure kimura grip and scoot further under opponent to attack for submission.

Options from here are: open half guard and kick out, then use kimura lock to sweep around on back and slide knee in so you are sort of spooning; then sweep opponent over.

Sparring was OK. I am trying to hit more triangles and use more sweeps.

Things to remember: kimura lock and using kimura to control opponent.
