Classes 421-423...

First up, a Gi class. The techniques we focused on were:
Closed guard entries to X guard:
With opponent in your closed guard, move your weight back.
Secure double sleeve control grips.
Open guard and shrimp out onto right hip with right foot on opponent's hip and left leg as knee shield.
Use spider guard on your left side to force opponent to stand.
Move to de la Riva guard, single x, double x and play with de la Riva ball and chain or back take, idiot sweep or single x sweep.
Triangle set up from guard:
Secure sleeve and collar on one side. Open guard and shrimp out with right leg on hip and left leg outside. Left leg kicks arm and triangle locks. Triangle sweep by underhooking leg and rolling opponent over.
  
Next up, a Gi class. The techniques we focused on were:
Breaking lasso guard on one side with spider guard on the other side against a standing opponent.
For standing opponent to break, drop knee onto lasso and circle hand inside then grab trousers for control of leg. 
Move other leg down, then in and out to break spider guard grip on other side. Knee slide through to attack.

Next up, a Gi class. The techniques we focused on were:
Leg pummel drills for a standing opponent to pass a seated one
Secure grips on inside of seated opponent's gi pants. Pummel one leg and one leg out. Use grips to drag opponent's legs to side. Opponent will close half guard to trap leg. Kick trapped leg out and come to side. Drop into knee on belly.
Also do cut through knee slide from this starting position of one leg in and one out. Main points are to position knee facing away from opponent, then face the knee in the direction of the knee slide. Also drop body weight on both of opponent's legs and squish them when dropping down.
Also do knee staple pass from this position.
Also do back step pass from this position.
