Classes 394-395...

First up a time class with attacks from full guard.

Securing Open Guard Control: You have your opponent in full guard, secure double sleeve control, open guard, hip escape out and place one leg on hip down side of opponent and hip escape out on the other side to set the other foot on the hip of the opponent. Opponents cannot attack forward or move forward as you have control.

From here you can attack for leg triangles and omoplatas. You can also set up scissor sweeps.

Sparring was fine and I did OK. I feel like I'm getting to be OK again.

Next up was a No Gi class drilling full guard and the favoured overhook position. The set-up went like this: 

Full Guard Overhook with Leg Over Opponent's Head: Establish full guard with an overlook on one arm, hip escape out to one side and move into half guard side by swinging leg in crook of opponent's neck position and omoplata attack position. Can also attack for triangle from here.

I was one of the in-the-middle people at king of the guard and I switched between full guard and half guard. Sparring was fun and I hit a couple of omoplatas and rear naked chokes. I really grafted and went for as many rolls as possible and specifically targeted senior belts along the way. 

A Gi class and some work on catching the leg triangle drill from guard by securing sleeve control on the wrists of the opponent in guard, the keeping one and stuffing the other.

We then did some back take work from guard by arm dragging one of the opponent's arms from guard and forcing t to the side, then attacking for back by grabbing the tricep of the opponent and pulling yourself up onto his back.

There's also the sweeping option.

Pendulum Sweep: Secure sleeve control on one of the opponent's wrists with a same side grip, shoot other hand under leg of opponent or grab leg of gi pants, open guard and sit up and rock back and 90 degrees to the side, Leg under armpit of opponent kicks him over and grip n pants leg lifts leg up, other leg chops under base of opponent and cuts under base of opponent.

Sparring was ace. I held my own against two purple belts and two blue belts, then I stayed later with three senior belts and worked on compression lock from guard, a passing wrist locks when opponent secures his hand on your body and the waterfall wristlock.



Things to remember: keep persevering with half guard and use full guard and overhook attack position; keep working on sweeps.
