no gi half guard

half guard recovery to full guard drill
side control recovery to full guard drill
around the world n/s drill to posture on both sides

general posture- support their weight with knees/elbows. do not use power, use frame. elbows inside knees.

1. posture to back: from half guard- posture with arms- knee cuts in and then knee flares out. elbow inside. knee kicks up as you pummel the underhook, use pendulum motion to get hip off mat and come to knees and take the back.

2. they retreat out of #1 and lean weight back on heels- 2 on 1 arm drag- use shin and kick leg straight while dragging with 2 hands (angle towards wrist if you encounter resistance). trap arm between your legs. squeeze tight with thighs and keep their shoulder/elbow glued to your chest (4 on 1). switch hands to thigh and head control (like guillotine). step up and take them down. land in half guard (side control is too risky) and then pass.

3. same as #2 but they post leg and you can't take them down- grab hip across back, post hand, scoot hip out, take back (their arm will get trapped) and RNC.

no gi stuff- think about arm drags, butterfly, x-guard, deep half guard. that's it.

general adjustment- stay tighter with half guard stuff. i'm too loose generally. giving up space and creating openings for the escape.
