Subtle new things added to the arsenal recently

starting to fill in more gaps as i train more with mike.

-posture breaking- driving forward/diagonally and using shoulders/head to isolate arm
-hip switching under nearside arm to isolate
-kimura off of underhook
-more clean with knee on stomach switches as they try to recover
-bent knee as they try to scoop leg into half guard
-americana to arm triangle

-cobra arm trap from mount
-return of spinning arm lock from mount

-marcelo half guard reverse kesa pass
-extraordinary shoulder in face pressure
-coming off the knees more and angling hips for additional pressure

-spinning arm lock from guard has returned
-taking the back off of arm lock stack
-cobra arm trap from spinning arm lock in guard
-triangle off of them coming to knees
-immediate sweep if they step up to stack
-flower sweeps

-triangle defense




generally, control is getting much better. must step up the pressure, bridging and squeezing. next comes the finishes!

-----------

gotta work on the fancy open guard/half guard as well. for now, the basics are filling in and are at a much higher level.
