Class 380...

Another class in quick succession. Today was a BJJ Gi dinnertime class in which we focused on the leg drag pass from one of the previous No Gi classes.

This went something like this: 
Opponent is seated with his feet on your hips as you stand: leg drag pass, drop down and pin opponent’s knee to floor; secure head control and drop down into passing position

From here, the options are:
In side control, place your hand inside the opponent’s hip to prevent him Turtling then Granby Rolling to recover guard; this buys you time to insert a hook as he rolls and attack for back control. 

From Turtle position with hook inserted, you angle out and rest your upper body on the back of your opponent; you hold the other foot of the opponent, and place your foot on the floor near the grasped foot; then roll back and kick own foot against other foot to attack for calf slicer. 

Or roll back for back attack. This position is called The Truck and is part of the Eighth Planet System.  

We also did an escape from rear mount in which we defended the hooks and hipped out and turned back in to face the opponent. 

Sparring was OK but I was still well off the pace. I am getting some semblance of positional defence back, though.
