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.
