Trouble shooting- top game issues

AM class

techniques-

-half guard brabo counter sweep
-side control far lapel choke- jacare choke
-side control triangle/armbar combo

notes-
-the half guard brabo counter sweep can still result in a brabo choke. they must remove the crossface arm to grab the knee, and if you have your arm shot through far enough you can lock the choke up. you can even lock the choke up in mid roll.

-lapel choke-
-grab on pants with lapel and gi pants in your hand- it fakes out the bottom guy
-time the lapel pass to the other hand- can be done when they try and bridge or escape.
-underside of lapel is better than the collar side for choking- chokes better

triangle- armbar combo-
-side mount bottom principle- close elbow on ground= many escape options
-set up the arm bar by grabbing the arm where you already want it for the armlock. no adjustment required

rolling
-i need to roll with more people with good half guards
-i need to roll with more people with good guards, period
-i need to roll with more people with relentless attacking games
-on that note, i need to roll with more people that are as quick as me and have a big arsenal of attacks. i usually never find myself overwhelmed.
-missed x-guard can potentially end up with my guard passed
-controlling the legs by weaving through is important to prevent them from coming to the knees
-slow and tight most of the time, fast and explosive when the window arrives

-the pendulum sweep is better if i combo it with arm locks
-sweeps are better when i execute them at the right time
-the triangle where i spin off the back is good!
-desperation guillotine escape- bridge to other side, turn into them

-must work on front turtle attacks more. mainly, darce and brabo.
