Sim Go Seminar @ the Stronghold

I've been looking forward to the Sim Go seminar, because his open guard game is very similar to what I'd like to try to accomplish. I learned quite a few excellent techniques and subtleties from him this weekend.

Quick Recap-

Bottom Game

BF guard- butt scoot towards them, push triceps up and rock up, locking S grip
*active hooks
*45 degree angle to start

-they cross feet-
duck under, take back and choke
*over/under harness

-they cross feet option 2- foot lock x-guard
kick leg through, footlock x-guard- finish lock or sweep off it

sweeps from footlock x-guard-
1. knees to chest, grab ankle
2. they base, you ankle trip while rotating knee

passing off footlock- from marcus avellan
sit up and sumo step 101 pass

back control-
*stay with your head at or before plane of their head, don't go beyond or you're too far
*take to side of choking arm-use instep on knee, throw them like medicine ball

hand fighting-
-1 on 1
-baseball bat grip break

power half-
use to break them down and take them over to side

as you're taking their back from duck under- they react by falling to half guard
-you lock up head + arm choke

Paragon half guard-
from knee across- stop knee from hitting mat
brace with frame across neck to make space
underhook leg
kick leg straight, go all the way around

outside hook- go underneath and take back
front hook- go over

watch for kimura and knee bar

Top Game

Guard pass- knee slide (they counter with shin across half guard)
weave arm and grab opposite knee, smash legs down, club head, walk around

-they cross feet- grab head, smash legs down with shoulder
uncross feet w/ free leg, shin to shin, pass

they underhook and come to knees-darce
punch arm, rotate hips,

darce setup- side control- they ball up tight
KOS and make them react, come to knees
lock darce scissors (low shoulder in armpit)- cinch them over to side, not back
no thumbs
lock up choke

-you can't darce them over- sit out + uppercut punch through
walk leg over leg

they walk with you- roll them over head
look to side where you're taking them to avoid rolling them over your face

darce/brabo- shrug shoulders, pinch elbows, drive

guillotine- forearm blocks shoulder

arm in guillotine- gooseneck- grab chin
touch elbow to knee, crunch in
