Double underpass, straight foot lock, some x-guard issues, thoughts on a more active game

warmup- KBs for about 10 mins- swings, snatches, turkish get-ups.

AM class

techniques-
-double leg takedown from double collar control
-guard pass sequence- opening from staggered hands on collar and hip to double under pass
-straight foot lock

notes-
-guard pass- constant pressure on hip at all times, switch to double hip pressure and quickly drive back to open guard up. pummel underneath and scoop the double underpass TIGHT. detail- drive their knee to opposite side ear, grip collar with both hands and PULL in tight for maximum pressure.
-defense vs. double underpass- thumb in grip-flare out elbow, pummel leg inside and replace guard
-footlock- fall to side where you have foot locked. pressure- look over your opposite ear and arch while driving the blade of your wrist on the achilles tendon.
-toe hold- drive heel towards their butt. go towards pinky toe, not big toe- less mobility. toe hold is really an ankle lock.

takedown drill-
-need to work on hand fighting/grip fighting. overall aggressiveness needs to go up. need to learn to penetrate better.

rolling-
-need to be attacking more. don't know why i'm so passive lately. gotta shoot for those submissions like i used to, my game is slowing down for some reason. when i try for submissions, they are in my world. otherwise it's just me defending. when i try and submit, i usually do better. when i defend, i am more reactive and slow.
-x-guard- need to return to this type of open guard game. very effective, just need to practice it. having trouble with the x-guard pendulum sweep when they are based out on their knee next to my ear.
