single leg guard passes

1. backstep, weave foot and land reverse kesa. grip knee and top collar.
2. they have ankle trapped- drive diagonal, wedge elbow, knee slide (angle change)
3. can't get foot out- switch to top leg knee grip, hop over to reverse half guard
4. collar choke option from #2

---------

to work on-

-off-balancing from spider guard (and sweeps)
-sweeping off of submissions from closed guard, especially from the brabo grip
-loop choke
-vieira passing series
-getting underneath them if they try and play outside

spider passes

collar grip breaks- rotate hand to palm to floor

1. same side sleeve/pants grip toriani variation
2. sprawl forward,throw legs above head and stack. grab back of pants
3. click heels together and drive to floor
4. vs. leg lasso- break straight spider grip, weave hand out and pass

insights

gi pants grip break- 3 on 1

upside down guard- when passing, keep knees together

vieira pass- works well. start to develop underpass off of the initial pass

brabo choke from side control- possibly vulnerable to armbar. step over nearside arm to stifle.

drill day

been feeling good lately due to strength and conditioning.

rolled no gi tonight.

gotta drill more half guard stuff. especially deep half.

dojo quest- drysdale and cobra kai

made it out to vegas, finally.

from drysdale's-

leo vieira pass-

pants pocket grip
pressure down
block out leg with arm, head, etc

cuff grip, turn thumb down

legs out, walk around, shuck leg

either secure head or go nearside underhook to anticipate the back

step 2-
from back, foot drag back take

-----------

ck-
foot kicks out knee for guillotine. use for loop choke.

z-guard pass-sprawl, hip to butt, walk around. look to circle around opposite to back or dope mount.

deep half detail-
hand in collar or hand dives deep underhook.
elevate with butterfly hook and get arm underneath

overall-
-more commitment to sweeps
-faster pace
-remember one hand brabo finish
-more butterfly collar game

spider connector

went to robert lovi's school in north park.

picked up some spider guard connectors.

-if they throw your leg and are about to pass, spin upside down and plant foot on hip or in bicep and spin back. gotta practice.
-push/pull motion
-if they run/back out of open guard stuff, gotta stand up and take them down or re-jump guard

lots of the stuff i've been working on lately worked pretty well over there.

half guard stuff

starting to incorporate the stuff from last week. instead of solely trying to come underneath them, i also try to come to my knees/take the back off the underhook. oftentimes they'll overcompensate to block and i'll be able to get underneath easier. the back/forth motion seems to disrupt the base a lot better.

-from smashed deep half (they have underhook)- clasp hands, get nearside butterfly hook, slightly lift, recover butterfly guard (glover vs. wilson reis match)

-drop armlock from initial tie-up grips
-spider to x-guard (romulo)
