Classes 406-407...

A Gi class working on lasso guard. This went something like this:

Getting Lasso Position from Full Guard: secure double wrist control of opponent via sleeve grip, then open guard and get feet on hips with knees inside stretching opponent's arms out; shrimp to the side, then take opposite foot off hip and loop foot outside and thread back inside while retaining wrist control.

Lasso Guard Sweeps: These involve inserting hook and elevating opponent onto arm trapped side. Also bait the opponent into standing, then pull him onto your feet and flip towards the trapped arm side. 

Sparring was OK and I felt a bit more with it.

Next up was another Gi class working on cross collar chokes. This involved: 

Shave Choke: Opponent is in your full guard; insert one hand palm up in a tight cross grip under his collar; bring the other other hand over his head palm down and grab his gi over the shoulder and connect when the knife blade of your arm is against his carotid; then bring him down and tighten the choke. 

The defence for this choke involves the opponent putting a hand inside your first choking arm. This, however traps is arm for a pendulum sweep by grabbing his lat and opening your guard, or taking his back.

Goodbye Choke: Opponent is in your full guard; insert a loose cross-collar palm-up grip on the collar of the opponent; bring him down and lop your choking arm over; then insert the other hand to lock the choke in.

Baseball Bat Choke: Opponent is in your full guard; insert a same side palm-up grip on his collar; the other hand is palm-down and grabs his collar material behind the head of the opponent. Then bait him to escape and tighten the choke.

Sparring fine. I was attacking for leg triangles with limited success.
