Classes 389-390...

Two classes in quick succession. First up was a No Gi class in which we worked on the following.

Leg Triangle Set-ups: This was full guard and involved securing wrist control, then stuffing one hand and keeping the other, then trapping the secured arm and attacking for the triangle.

Granby Roll to Leg Triangle: Escape from side control by framing up and coming to turtle, then Granby Roll for Leg Triangle.

Sparring was OK. I was murdered by higher belts but I was OK everywhere else. 

I am also experimenting with Greco-Roman Wrestling Lateral Drop. This goes like this:

Greco-Roman Wrestling Lateral Drop: Stand facing opponent with one collar tie with the hand gripping the back of the neck and an overkook on the other side once the opponent has secured an underhook. Use overtook hand and connect it to the wrist on the collar tie hand. Step out so you are at 90 degrees from the opponent and use frame and stance to apply pressure. Outside foot steps in and you turn into the side of the overlook and use the overhook control to drop the opponent to the floor.

Next up was a Gi class where we worked on some very similar concepts.

Granby Roll to Leg Triangle: Escape from side control by framing up and coming to turtle, then Granby Roll for Leg Triangle.

Turtle to Granby Roll to Side Control: Trap arm, escape hips out 90 degrees and roll away and underhook arm at same time, then come up and drive weight onto opponent and come to side control.

Turtle to Escape Back Control: Slump far down and ensure opponent does not put foot hooks in when in back control, then turn into opponent, drive forward and knee tap to secure side control.

Sparring was OK. I was murdered by higher belts but I was OK everywhere else.
