Takedowns! Double underhook control.

Takedowns class

warmups-
3 rounds of 10 bearcrawls up and down the mat (with a resistance band!)

*dies*

notes-

-necktie- strong with the hand around the neck, heavy on the elbow/forearm to the sternum/centerline. use necktie to off-balance opponent. ideally with double necktie (muay thai clinch style), but it's not easy to get.

-necktie to double underhooks, double underhook takedown- driving them at an angle once you get in position. take out leg with outside leg trip.

-double underhooks- strong under their rib, cut into their torso.

-double underhook control- many options from here.

-removing necktie- shoulder shrug w/hip contact- not full "look-away peel off" as it exposes you to be shot on.

-i'm driving with my head too much/putting my head down. need to keep it up, or i'll be in bad spots.

rolling

-taking the back from standing is my best bet against bigger opponents.

-the double underhook pass is actually pretty good for no gi. might be better than leg on shoulder, since you have more control of the hips. not completely sure though.

-persistence with the pass

-triangle and rnc are still the best submissions.

-sweeping them over once i have a locked triangle is easy, might as well do it and get some points.

-must practice escaping triangles.

-still need to work on my base from top of half guard, side control.

-i need to gain 10 lbs of muscle.
