BJJ Monday

No Gi training. sweeps from on top of turtle.

Seatbelt grip, step foot to their rear and fall to the side, allows for rear naked setup. Can continue this roll all the way over to an arm bar setup. Third variation is (possibly..?) from seat belt, roll over outside shoulder, and take back.
May be confusing this with:
From side control, sit facing away from their head.. I forget, somehow catch one of their legs with your outside leg, roll them, switch feet and take the back…
It was 3 days ago…

BJJ Monday

Take the back and get hooks while they’re in turtle. Take your left foot out and back between their legs for support. reach around with your left hand and grab their left ankle. Fall back. You can grab their right foot for a calf crusher (or something).

Or… both arms on their left arm, throw it behind your head. You can then torque their body for a sub, grasping around their head, near the top and pulling it towards you.

If they defend throwing their arm behind your head, there is a different transition… grab their left shoulder deep with your left arm and pull the right arm through to a RNC.

rock n roll

Sweep to Omoplata from De La.

Take a de la riva guard. Inside leg against their thigh, sit on their foot if possible, outside foot wraps around their leg. Outside hand holds their foot, other hand grabs their closer wrist. Push them away with your leg, and drag their wrist accross and infront of their body. If they try to move your foot off their thigh, circle and replace it. Drag their wrist infront of their body to your side. From here can sweep to Omma, with their thigh pushed far away. Can readjust the Omoplata to flatten their chest against the floor.

Head in single leg takedown above the knee – bad idea. If they are kneeling in this position, turn to face the same way as them, pinch legs together, and kick the leg closest to their head to break their grip. From this point can transition to crusifix etc.

For the head outside single leg from kneeling, grab their foot and bend it up into their butt, twisting it adds effectiveness here. This prevents their takedown.

Halfguard pass.  From half guard top chest to chest, elbow next to their head, free leg sprawled out with no knee touching, out wide way up as high as their head. If they are on their side, walk the trapped leg up into their butt. This will allow the trapped leg to pass to mount. If they block the pass with their hand on your knee, then can underhook their arm, and slide the trapped leg really low into side control. During the transition to side control, maintain the underhook and with your free arm overhook their free arm for a really tight side control, can put all weight on them with only feet touching the ground, lifting the underhook arm off the ground. Can then step over their head for an armbar.

Did a 7:30pm BJJ session last night, was really good. I’ll note that Ben Greenfield’s comments about training sooner than 3 hours before sleep messes with deep sleep. Can confirm, finished training after 9pm, under florescent lights (blue light). Feeling like I didn’t get good sleep, which I noticed during the night.. I’ll modify that in the future.. 6pm sessions from now on.

BJJ Notes:

Did a butterfly sweep from guard. So if I have butterfly guard, and the have double unders.. pretty specific, perhaps I could incite this by trying to get double unders on them. Anyway then flatten you out. You can kick your legs forward, and follow with your torso to bring you back up past vertical. Fall back at 45 degrees either side, and kick the opposite leg into their butt, to sweep to mount.

Standing double under-hook defence. When they go for double unders, from over/under, pressure both their arms by using straight arms facing down. With their arm that already has your back, guillotine it, by pulling the blade of your wrist into their upper arm, while extending that guillotine into their opposite armpit, you can push their other arm across your body, so both arms are trapped under that guillotine. Step your hips and chest up against their body.

Stack defence from closed guard.
Overhook one arm of theirs, other arm is a neck tie, cupping the back of their neck. Hold this tight against them. If they go to lift you (for a slam), Simply drop the leg on the overhook side and push back, defeating their attempt to lift you. If you drop the leg on the neck tie side, they can pass your guard. bad.

Last weeks side control transition to a sub (head and arm choke?).
In side control, underhook their far arm. Crawl this hand up, while doing the same with your close arm against their head, to compress their head and arm together to some extent, while also applying chest pressure. With the close arm, grab their far armpit, allowing your far arm to move their far arm so that your head is on the far side of their far arm. Now will need to transition to the other side. Can move up to knee ride. Last night Darren described windshield wiper motion to move from knee ride to the other side. Do this, and then sprawl. Bringing your bicep down on their neck is the sub, basically.

Porah.

Darren came up to me after my second roll specifically and said great rolling, after I rolled with Chris.

pass Z guard.

grab 2 on 1 grip on their arm, grab their wrist and elbow.

Sprawl flattening their knee.

weight through their hip and shin prevents them from re-guarding.

if you’re low you’ll need to climb their body to pass their ankle

hooked ankle , foot to butt and fold your foot over theirs to allow the guard pass

BJJ Tuesday: Gi takedowns – pinch headlock.

Starting with a single neck tie and controlling the other elbow (right hand gripping the lower back of their head, left hand below their bicep, controlling their arm). Drilling them trying to move their right arm inside my left to control my inside elbow. Block that by pressuring my left hand against their belly. If they go outside… grab an underhook, under their right shoulder deep on their upper back. Very important to pressure down on them to avoid them stepping inside my foot and throwing me. Slowly circle back and towards the under-hook side to take them down. Plan B is to step inside their foot, and bump their leg back above the knee to help them fall.

If they aren’t allowing the under-hook; holding the neck tie and their arm, pressure forward. When they pressure back, pull their head down and under my armpit. grab an under-hook with my now free arm, circle back and take-down.

BJJ Thurs: Escape double neck tie

They have a standing double neck tie, the move is to use your shoulder to break one of their wrist holds.

You position your legs so that you can rotate your hips with force away from them, put your hand over their arm on their neck, the other hand in their stomach and kind punch the inside of your elbow up and rotate your shoulder into their arm, while forcefully rotating away. Your feet will be positioned so that you’re standing with hips aligned at the end of the move.

Stand-Up Thursday

First standup session in many moons. Did some basic drills, keeping hands up. Working on dodging or whatever the correct word is. Rotating the hips, moving the head to the outside of the strike, which evidently winds up the rear shoulder for a hook. When throwing the hook towards the head, keep the elbow up as a shield. This is fun to do shadow boxing 🙂

BJJ Monday

Really cool stuff. Defending the standing guard pass. feet to butt is the basic principle for closed guard pressure. On their second step of their standing guard pass, pull them down.

Or, after their first step, put all your weight through their opposite hip to prevent the second step.
You can cup their elbow which will be posting on you, and sweep them by attempting you shift your hips 90 degrees, and swinging the far leg out, as in a pendulum sweep, you can sweep over to mount
