Getting murdered with the double under pass and leg on shoulder pass

Was out for a few days due to a strained knee.

Feeling much better, though.

Today's techniques-

-single leg takedown- circle away, change directions, scoop up leg, run the pipe to takedown.
-from takedown- knee slide guard pass
-from guard pass- same side armbar

-went over knee slide guard pass details and counters with my partner. one point that was brought up was shin tension for the counter. same technique can probably apply to spider guard. you apply maximum tension, they react and move, you use movement to switch tension, create leverage, and hit the sweep.

-working a lot on omoplatas. the sweep once they stand up and you entangle their legs and sweep them over is eluding me.

rolling-

-passing- worked on passing posture (switched sides cuz of hurt knee). worked well with the patience. attacked kimuras as they opened up. had one persistent kimura that i might have been able to finish if i hit it properly, but wasn't clean with it.

-guard recovery- tried some experimentation with establishing posture and letting this one dude pass. he struggled to pass and i replaced, eventually leading to a scissor sweep to knee on belly to baseball bat choke. popped up from the choke, readjusted, and got the automatic tap once i sunk it in and spun to n/s.

-other guard recovery- got MURDERED by ricardo and his double under and leg on shoulder pass. i couldn't pummel well with my legs cuz of my knee, but i still got dominated and got shut down. recognized one particular move that mike also does- to flow over nearside arm from side control if they're defending tightly, get hip off ground and make them support your hip with their wrist. use to collapse posture and start attacking. another strategy that killed me- attacking one side of the posture and then killing the other side once i concentrated too hard on defending the other.

definitely need to work on stopping the tight under passes. can do pretty well vs. the passes over the legs, but i get shut down by people (ricardo, mainly) that have dominant, tight, controlling under passes. need to have quicker reaction time and be able to flow/switch between defending both sides.
