scissor pass sequence, arm bar detail from side control

pm class

techniques-

-saulo guard opener (bait) to grab sleeve- stand up, shake, circle step back and open. scissor pass, grab collar, drive with head in chest. alternate- grab sleeve and lift, switch to collar or crossface. also use arm weave in legs to flatten legs (remember sim seminar)

-off of #1- opponent hooks with top leg. sit through, control sleeve, step leg up and place knee next to head. transition to mount.

-from side control- control arm on nearside shoulder (arm triangle setup). get deep for best effect. switch to n/s, rotate underneath and bite into armpit, tripod up and put more pressure. nearside knee comes over opposite arm, other knee comes into armpit. transition to the clean armlock.

-from above- from n/s- insert thumb in collar for possible choke.

----------

guard drill from before-

good-
-clean sweeps and submissions
-control and transitions good
-spider guard w/shins- best to go toriani with planted feet. get inside control asap.

to work on-
-timing, sensitivity
-dexterity on BOTH sides. not just the good side. work bad side vs. lower belts.

---------------

rolling-

good-
-passing posture/patience. opening holes and taking advantage, transitioning to different passes.
-top pressure at times
-top mobility at times (knee on stomach sequence)
-arm-in guillotine getting better
-head placement- driving in chin. can possibly crossface with head if needed.

to work on-
-maintaining side control, finishing the pass. not allowing them to power out.
-attacking and breaking arm posture right away from side control
-remember guillotine option from half guard top. combo with pass series- kimura, etc.



generally felt okay today. eating clean, enthusiasm slowly returning.
