Standup training, a little half guard

Worked on takedowns today.

Judo principle-
two types of sweeps: opponent moving towards you, opponent moving away from you

a few to work on- uchi-mata, hook sweep

new technique- hook sweep
-establish collar and sleeve grip
-step across (towards sleeve grip) and plant just outside opponent's foot
-drive with collar, pull with sleeve, kick up leg (like uchi-mata), head down

Double leg takedown detail-
need to penetrate knee more! if you can't touch your opponent (within arm's length), you can't take them down.

torso stays perpendicular to ground.

drive them sideways with your head.

chop far leg.

practice- duck walk drill

Duck-under detail-
grip on tricep or elbow. pop elbow up, hand windmills around. don't leave behind anything to underhook, or you could get reversed.


Ground work-

half guard-
tried to figure out deep half guard.
setups from opponent standing, setups from straight half guard with underhooked leg (manny's half guard).

deep half guard options-
-go under the legs (back door) to take back
-go over the leg (sweep to half guard pass)

Half guard variant
cleaned up manny's half guard- detail missing was the hook from the outside leg.

get DIRECTLY underneath opponent.

from there, the options-
-move to deep half guard (switch from underhooked leg to overhook on farther leg)
-move to x-guard (if opponent stands)
-sweep opponent back (grab ankle and drive into them with hook)
-sweep opponent back (roll them straight back)
-sweep opponent forward (take out base arm)




I also got kneed in the face during rolling, so my eating habits are going to change for a few days. Mostly protein shakes and oatmeal.
