Class 160...

Today, an early morning class and with three positions from the closed guard. They went something like this:

i) Arm drag and back take: Opponent is in your closed guard; reach both hands to get wrist control on opponent’s right hand with fingers gripping sleeve; bridge up and collapse his posture with your legs as you bridge down and push his arm across his body to your right to expose a shoulder; keep the right wrist control in place and shrimp out as your left arm swims over his back and grabs under armpit; pull yourself round and attack the back as you secure hooks. 

ii) Arm drag and straight armbar: Opponent is in your closed guard; reach both hands to get wrist control on opponent’s right hand with fingers gripping sleeve; bridge up and collapse his posture with your legs as you bridge down and push his arm across his body to your right to expose a shoulder; the opponent uses his free hand to press up; hip escape back and catch his pressing-up arm by sending your right arm underneath and clamp down with his hand at your neck; bring your knees up and clamp them together for a straight arm bar.

iii) Arm drag and sweep: Opponent is in your closed guard; reach both hands to get wrist control on opponent’s right hand with fingers gripping sleeve; bridge up and collapse his posture with your legs as you bridge down and push his arm across his body to your right to expose a shoulder; the opponent uses his free hand to press up; keep his right hand in wrist control and stuffed across his body with your left hand; hip escape back and with your right hand, grab his leg; then kick through his shoulder with your right leg and come up to sweep him.

I'm also starting to experiment with the entry footwork for leg locks from standing against a seated opponent. 

Things to remember: Arm drag and back take.
