the class i'm glad i came to....

pm class

techniques-


-elevator sweep from sitting de la riva- elbow and collar, double elbow
note- foot on hip, shin touching opponent, collar arm inside and on top of thigh. sit up and bring them on top of you as your rock back.

-negative x-pass- best from standing

-toe hold from de la riva- like kimura but on foot

-knee bar from over/under pass- cross legs like x-guard to secure. back to opponent. super finish- under armpit (like shogun vs. randleman)



rolling-


good-
-pressure on top
-fluidity on top
-directional changes vs. bridges
-top control
-back taking
-back control
-guard work
-guard control
-sweeps from guard

to work on-
-finishing strong
-finishing submissions
-even tighter top control

notes-
-deep half guard sweeps- pendulum over, pendulum under, hook under to back (missing step- grab thigh with free hand)
-deep half guard stall- underhook far arm, sprawl hard on face
-deep half guard pass- step over face with hip, crossface and get leg out
-counter to deep half pass- get to knees and get out of there!

-top control- forearm in throat! stops lots of errant bridges.

-need to attack more kimuras tomorrow

-good guillotine defense- pull half/half butterfly/x-guard and get directly underneath opponent, destroy their base by rocking them

-new combo- x-guard to toe hold!

overall-
felt very strong, fluid, fast, crisp, etc. need to step it up and finish opponents. need to start passing on left side again. passing is more stable on that side. i have better control for some reason.
