Overhooks

AM Class

Techniques-

1. takedown from arm and back control

break grip, pull arm across with cross arm
grab over belt with other arm
step back and drop to hip while stuffing trapped arm through opponent's legs
grab underhook on leg and use hook on shin to help throw them over
secure side mount

2. tripod sweep

from open guard with opponent controlling knees
break grips with kimura grip- keep cross grip on sleeve
foot in hip and hand grabs heel, hook with other foot
do a row as they drop, come to half guard or side control

3. ezekiel from back control

from harness grip- shoot bottom arm as deep as possible
grab sleeve of top arm (normal choking arm)
remove hook and put opponent on side (like bow and arrow sort of)
finish choke

4. ezekiel from half guard bottom

they underhook, shoot that arm across neck
free crossface arm, grab that sleeve and lock up the ezekiel

passing was okay. gotta use more hip pressure and drop my weight. i'm falling into the fast passes again. gotta work more on a dominating pressure game.

open guard felt fine. the half butterfly guard is great. i can stop progress, but i gotta figure out some sweeps and attacks from that position.

closed guard felt even better. attacked arm locks (spinning, bent), triangles, and sweeps. realized that i wasn't putting downward pressure on the head with my calf once i had a spinning arm lock secured. finally got some kimuras to work from the guard. i'm grabbing over the elbow before i touch the wrist, as that seems to be slightly more covert. opening the guard up and hooking over the head is a good final step. sweeping them over with the kimura seems to work well.

figured out how dominating overhook control can be from the bottom if established properly. gotta play with it some more to figure out the options from there. i see a triangle, an omoplata, bent arm locks, and some possible sweeps.

overhooks with a rubber guard control could be great. maybe not a full rubber guard cuz i don't want to blow out my knees, but a high guard with shin grabbing could be good.
