Noon class
Professor led class today and we started with warm ups, drilled side to side footwork and knee on belly transitions with a striking pad.
Notation: get a striking pad to work on these drills at home.
Quote of the day from Professor "If you can't do a technically correct arm bar, do not tell people you do jiu jitsu".
drilled arm bars and arm bar escapes
arm bar - grip opponents cuff (same side), opposite arm reach over and grab tricep of opponent, pull arm over your shoulder at 45 degree angle. same side that you are gripping cuff, place foot on hip with knee against opponents shoulder, opposite leg hook under shoulder blade to bring opponent off base, pivot and apply other leg over opponents head to finish arm bar.
arm bar escape -
once opponent sets arm bar while you are based on both knees, place knee furthest away from opponent up, apply shoulder pressure to opponent driving his legs into his head, base with free hand and then bring free hand towards arm being arm barred and hook it, elbow escape, use hand that was hooked to grab pant leg of opponent near the knees, use the hand that you just completed the elbow escape with to grab opponents shoulder / lapel or anything and escape into side control.
Sparring -
5 minute rounds - went five rounds, submitted by americana twice, arm triangle once. My focus during sparring was once again defense while being mounted working on tips I received this past week. I did try a wonky version of the worm guard, interesting how I was able to control my training partner with it :-).
With the new students in class, I pulled guard and let them work on passing.
Did not play offense today, sparring was spirited by all those that participated today. Great fun.
