Class 73...

A relatively light warm-up of squats, press-ups, hip swivels and triangles today, and it was only when I got to about the 25 press-ups mark that I realised I wasn't quite as bad at them as I was a year ago. A small victory.

We then did a similar drill to the one we'd done a week before, where the person on the bottom has the man on top in full guard, then opens his guard and attacks for an armbar, a leg triangle and an omaplata.

Key points I'd missed on this in the previous session were:
* Maintain keeping strong grips on the attacked arms at all times.
* Using the knee from open guard to move inside the opponent's chest then sweeping it out to remove one arm so the trapped arm is isolated for the triangle.
* Using the free leg from North-South like a pendulum to help raise yourself to finalise position an upright position to complete the omaplata.

A good class doing the type of basic drills I need to repeat and keep repeating.

LESSON FROM TODAY: Same as before: practise basic movement drills and ensure you keep good grips.
