Secret triangle escapes!

AM class

techniques-

-triangle escape- trapped arm posts in armpit, tight to torso, and elbow down strong. can sit here forever if it's properly applied, and then reach with other arm to lapel for the traditional leg on shoulder pass. watch for the sweep when you post the arm in armpit.

-triangle escape- xande ribiero superman punch escape. requires good timing. bring trapped arm elbow/knee together and then in one forceful motion, punch across opponent's torso while sprawling back leg, and rotating hips and torso. need to quickly put other arm inside to avoid them locking it up again. watch for the sweep once you sprawl (small window), and also omoplata once you open.

sweep drill-
-guard drill, but only with sweeps (no submissions). open guard was better for this. x-guard works well on bigger opponents, they don't have as crazy of balance as smaller and more agile guys.

rolling-
-top game is getting better- starting to be able to control while attacking. gotta refine and add as much pressure as possible.
-bottom half guard- lots of sweep options here. watch out for them.
-side mount escapes- getting much better. gotta continue to refine.
