SMEs

pm class

techniques-

-SME 1-bridge and hip escape to guard- posture forearm in throat and elbow in hip
-SME 2-from #1- opponent walks legs forward and you can't hook. wing elbow in armpit, switch to underhook, step foot out and weave leg through, coming to knees. immediately cup around heel with outside arm, go shoulder to thigh and trap with other arm. walk around to back and put them on back.
-SME 3-from position 3 hold down- go bicep to bicep, pendulum legs towards legs and then away, spinning underneath to knees or guard.

-----------

some things i'm working on-
-takedowns (general aggressiveness and setups)
-guillotine series
-getting better at brabos
-staying abreast with back taking and rnc finish
-deep half guard entries and finishes
-pressure on top
-breaking down the frame- drive forward and collapse arms with chest/hips

-x-guard entry- push torso away (mike guillotines me here, stopping everything)

i realized that i probably need to go more n/s in tournaments. i've been practicing half guard top so much that i don't care if they get half guard back after i pass, but in a tournament i can't let them get an inch.
