Half guard top

PM class

techniques-

-knee on stomach choke
-knee on stomach choke to armbar
-knee on stomach escape

rolling

-choke detail- lock out arms (like scissors), apply pressure before dropping

-standup- need to be more aggressive/assertive than opponent. that's the key to dominating standup.

-need to figure out crucifix escapes. wack.

-101 pass- getting to half guard is okay as long as i get the dominant grips/position.

-101 pass- combos wonderfully with lots of other stuff.

-101 pass- must stick with it and now go to other passes for now! i thought we were practicing just this pass!

-double underhook pass- combos with the marcelo super stack with chest pressure.

-overhooks in guard- super dominant. number 1 option- triangle. number 2 option- armlock. number 3- sweep attempts.

-spider guard- great control position, but must move to something else before they start to pass it.

-x-guard- gotta remember the fundamentals!

-half guard top- easy to dominate from here. must punish opponents from top and then pass easily.

-half guard top base- gotta keep more stable. i get reversed a lot if they're bigger than me.

-head control- if i'm standing and i can get head control on a sitting opponent, game over. snap down to front attacks. possibly taking the back.

-common half guard top defense- locking over your neck/arm. if i have the strong crossface, though, it's worse for them.

-anticipating the bridge- they can only go to one side if i'm crossfacing properly.

-jacare style passing- it's all about switching the hips! gotta work it out.

-knee on stomach- so, so fluid! i forgot about this position. want to get my top game as fluid as my knee on stomach game, but with a lot more pressure. that would make things great for me.
