Crazy spider guard to omoplata/sweep

"Timing is faster than speed...more powerful than power"- Roy Harris

technique- superman triangle escape. double hand plant if they try to move around underneath you. seems susceptible to armlocks, however.

Gracie Barra PM class-

part of warmups- flip opponent to turtle from guard, opponent rolls out (over shoulder of arm closest to opponent)

techniques-

we worked from a crazy spider guard variation. from cross grip of open guard with one foot on the hip (same side of controlled arm) and other foot in the bicep (like triangle setup). you kick your leg over the arm (while keeping the grip) and land in turtle with the arm between your legs. from here, you have the option of sweeping (continue to pressure shoulder with hip, hip towards opponent) or doing an omoplata. very interesting setup, and i'll have to experiment with it for a bit. i've seen rubens charles doing similar sweeps, so i am definitely intrigued.

rolling-
-keeping a loose game and letting myself get out of bad situations. gotta remember to never stand unless i control an arm. otherwise, doing well and need to keep it up.
