Fundamnetal Technique flow

AM class

technique flow-
-side control to mount
-mount to americana
-americana to upa escape
-standing guard break
-guard pass
-side control
-repeat

notes-
-side control- clear arm before advancing
-americana escape- push in armpit and upa
-guard break- pin same side arm, step, look UP, hips forward
-open guard- prevent the de la riva hook by turning your toe outward
-elbow/knee together when in passing posture
-don't open and push leg to ground- only as much as you need to open- you'll get too low if you push down

rolling
-x-pass- study and learn- seems like a logical flow off the 101 pass
-open guard vs. stronger opponents- really hard to not get overpowered. probably just a strength issue
-possible setup to arm triangle in guard- trap arm like spinning armlock and push it over while rocking them forward in guard
-lots of the guard passes i do require strength and pressure. real hard to do today when my body is feeling BEAT UP from the workouts lol.
-me in open guard with them on knees- spider guard options aplenty
-standup game with gi- lots of grip fighting. my main game- take the back from here.
-jacare hip switch- key movement in his passing game
-triangle defense- stack them up and put pressure.
-other triangle defense- posture up and turn, knee on ribs.

main objectives for the next month-November
-need to get STRONGER. workouts with squats, deadlifts, pullups, etc.
-solid nutrition with increased food intake.
-continue to work on guard passing, half guard passing, and side control
-continue to defend and resist submissions
-begin study of clinch work and standup- study tapes, etc
-begin study of sweeps and escapes next month?
