A few new things tonight, but nothing really requiring a long post.
1. From knee ride, trap their arm closest to you at the bicep if possible, put your foot over their head and sit back for arm bar.
2. When attempting the sweep in which you push their knee back, make sure their weight is forward by controlling their arm or they will be able to post with that arm.
3. When trying for the scissor sweep, make sure the bottom leg is low enough to catch their leg.
4. When in someones guard, if you decide to stand up, make sure your legs are out of reach. This may mean that you are bent at a 90 degree angle, but it means you're less likely to be swept. From there, if you control their knees, you can step back and out of their guard and slide into knee ride or side control.
Triangle choke from Guard
From guard, punch one of their hands so you trap one arm and their head between your legs. From there, close your legs like in closed guard. Simple breakdown.
1. From the guard in which you have one arm and their head in, lift your hips up and push their trapped arm across your body. Make sure you lift your hips.
2. Pull their head down towards you whilst you push off their hip. Change your angle with the hip push to allow for a better angle to get your other leg across the back of their neck.
3. Hook the leg on the back of their neck with your other leg. Make sure it goes across the back of their neck. Pull that leg from the shin or the foot so your foot sits in the crook of your knee.
4. Raise your hips and pull their head down to get the triangle. You should only see their arm and their head from where you are. If you can see more, angle away a bit more to tighten it.
So from the right side, punch their left hand (on your right side) through your legs and close your guard so you trap their right arm and their head. Lift your hips and push their right arm across to your right (across your hips). Pull down on their head, push with your left leg off their hip and bring your right leg down behind their head. Keep hold of the head so they don't escape. Once you've pushed off their hip and angle to your right, hook your right foot into the crook of your left knee and tighten. Lift your hips, pull their head down and if it's not finishing, angle more to your right to try and get the 90 degree angle.
An alternative as well to this is if they have your lapel, attack their left hand to release the grip, put it to the ground and over hook it. Grab their lapel with your over hooked hand to keep them down. From there, grab their other hand at the knuckle to loosen their grip and punch it through your legs to set it up as above.

Mount and side control
From Mount position, there are several attacks you can try for. This is from last week
Cross collar choke. This obviously only works with gi.
From mount, grab their lapel across from you, so not directly opposite, diagonally opposite (in my case, right hand). From there, punch it through to create some more material for you to grab. At this point, you can post on your head to stop them from bridging and rolling you. Move to the opposite side (so to the left posting on your head and with your left arm. Grab their collar with your left hand, thumb in, and swing your left forearm arm around their head, keeping the grip and across their neck. From there, post on your head, and tighten for the choke. The following video explains it pretty well
Arm bar
Another potential move is to set them up for an arm bar after getting into S mount. From mount, bring your left arm behind their head and push your shoulder into their head to turn their head. Grip their shoulder with your left arm and keep it tight. From there, hook your right arm under their elbow and spider crawl it up over their head, keep your hands close to the floor and use your fingers to bring it up. Once above their head, bring your knee up to keep it pinned against their head. Proceed to do the same on the opposite side. You end up in a high mount with their arms pinned high. Keep your right knee against their head whilst your left leg shifts so the outside of your foot is on the ground. Keep it tight. From S mount, grab hold of their arm, push your left leg over their head and sit back into an arm bar. If done very tightly, it doesn't give your opponent much of an opportunity to escape.
Submissions 101 has a great breakdown.
Gotta try and keep updating!

Tonight we learnt about side control. Points included:
- Keep your weight on the side of the body which you're on. Putting it too far forward is prone to sweep.
- Hips down to keep the weight on.
- Shoulder into their face to push it across and stop them from hip escaping away.
- Push their elbow up with your knee closest to their head and trap it between your shin and the floor to allow for Figure 4, Cutting arm bar or Kimura.
- Kimura requires the leg closest to their head over their head, so from the above, you need to switch your feet that is locking their arm down to allow you to put your leg over their head to finish it. Bring them up on their side once the arms are locked in to complete the lock.
- Cutting arm bar has a similar hand position to the Kimura. The left arm threads under their arm, grips the right wrist. Left arm needs to be just above the elbow. Right arm gripping the wrist. Keep the weight on their opposite arm and push your head against the arm to complete the cutting arm bar. Their thumb should be pointing to the ceiling.

Running a bit behind!
Things have been pretty busy lately and though I've managed to actually write a couple of posts, I haven't actually gotten around to putting them up. Anyways, from the last week or so...
On Saturday, we worked some back control stuff.
There were a lot of good points which came up in terms of how to handle back control on top of what was covered the other day in one of my posts. Some of these are repeated.
1. Protect the neck at all costs, it doesn’t take long for them to tighten and complete that submission.
2. Roll onto the side of the non attacking arm. Hang onto their attacking arm to stop the choke. This stops them from tightening and completing the choke.
3. Put all your weight onto their bottom leg and shoulder crawl your way back over their head.
4. Once you’ve moved over them, twist towards them, putting your opposite hand on their hip to stop them from moving straight into mount.
5. This should end up with you in their guard, a significantly improved position from being back controlled.
On Monday, we worked from the mount position and trying to maintain a good mount.
A good mount consists of a good balanced position on top of your opponent. Knees should be as high as their armpits if possible. Your feet should be tucked close to their body, top of the foot against their butt, knees pinching the top of their body.
Body should be leaning over with arms posted out wide. You can use your shoulder to push their head to the side and start setting up for a submission.
From mount, you can seek a figure 4 submission and multiple transitions from there.
First transition – Figure 4 from Mount to Arm bar
If they bridge and attempt to shift to their side when attempting figure 4, hop up to a side mount position, one foot in front of their stomach, other behind with knee behind their head. Control your opponent like from side control, one arm behind their head, one under their arm (except in this case, under the closer arm). From there, push your opponents face across away from you, grab your own lapel (trapping their top arm), throw the leg over (the one with the knee behind their head) and fall back with their arm for the arm bar.
Second Transition – Figure 4 from Mount to choke
Similar to the set up from before, from the side mount position it begins to vary. From there, the top arm pulls open their lapel, grab inside with your lower arm (thumb in) and pull around their neck. So if they bridge to their left, pull open their lapel with your right hand, grab with thumb in with the left hand and pull around the neck. With your right hand, push on the back of their neck and tighten with the left hand to finish the choke.
Next post will also be Mount position centric as we seem to have been drilling that the most out of all of them.
I hurt my knee on Wednesday :( The same one that's been operated on...Hopefully it isn't something too serious.
