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.

Cross collar choke from knee ride
Today we worked with the cross collar choke from knee ride.
This is one of those which works as a good strategy to lure an opponent into moving the way that you want them to.
Starting from knee ride, using the same arm as knee, grab their lapel on the opposite side. So right knee ride, grab their right lapel (on your left) with your right hand, fingers in. Elbow should be down on the same level as your knee. Don't put it too high or they'll know you're going for the cross collar choke. From there, if they hip escape away from you (so facing you), lean forward to stop them from escaping and at the same time, punch your hand gripping their lapel through towards their far ear. This is integral or you won't create a grip point for your other hand. Also, they are not likely to hip escape towards you as this will expose their back and a potential arm bar. As you lean down, reach behind their head, grab with your thumb in the lapel and bring that arm down around their head and below the jaw. Pull back with both hands whilst pushing your knee forward and them flat onto their back. Most of the time, you'll get the choke here.
If you don't get the choke, you can transition to mount, tripod with your head above their head and tighten the choke. This should usually get it, even for those with really thick necks.
I had a lot of trouble finding anything from knee ride, but the concept is the same from mount as it is from knee ride. In this video, he actually gets the opposite grip in first, but this is a consequence of starting it from mount.
The alternative to this is if you can't get the 2nd grip behind their head, you don't even need it. As long as you control his shoulder, you can still get your wrist across his neck and complete the choke. A general rule of thumb here is to maintain a 90 degree angle with your wrists. From here, we worked with rolling them into your half guard and trapping them there. If they don't want to move, you can always push them onto their back and finish it from mount as above.
From guard, you can also execute this move. If you control their opposite lapel like before (deep is best), break their posture with your legs and reach around and grab their opposite lat or shoulder with the free arm (like you're climbing to back mount). This breaks their posture and brings them down towards you. Though it's not a cross collar choke like before, their priority is to regain their posture. They do this by pushing across and under the arm holding onto their lat. From there, it's just a matter of controlling their shoulder and completing the choke again. There should be almost no escape for them from this position as if they pull back, push forward or try to stand up, they will have to tap out.
So Cross collar choke...another choke to play around with!

Opponent standing in your guard
Last night we worked on options if an opponent stands when they’re in your guard.
First thing was to control their posture but grabbing their lapel. This is assuming that you’re still locked in with your feet in a closed guard, but they have managed to stand up.
I was also taught that when standing up in someone’s guard, you should grab both sides of their lapel, pull it down tight, and twist to get a good grip. Then, grabbing one of their sleeves (preferably the one which you will first stand up with), push that across, then stand to reduce the potential for a sweep.
All of these moves assume your opponent has just stood up in your guard.
Arm bar variant
One option is that whilst grabbing their lapel and controlling their posture, you can walk your legs further up their shoulders, one leg at a time (whilst still on their back), adjust your angle by under hooking one of their legs. Trap one of their arms and swing your leg around for an arm bar.
Arm bar variant 2
The other option is if you can’t get the arm bar due to your opponent stacking you, you can reach across to their other foot (the one that you didn’t under hook before) with the same arm, grabbing from the front. Maintain the grip with your attacking arm. You then bridge your hips and roll them, keeping your legs tight together. This ends up with them on the ground in an arm bar, they may roll, but you can still get the arm bar even if they end up face down or face up.
Omo Plata variant (from right hand POV) – this one is a bit fuzzy...
Similar set up to the above, instead of swinging your leg around and to the opposite side of their head and pinning it there, swing your left leg around and close it in a triangle around their left arm (Your right foot being in the crook of your left knee). Hip escape to the right. From there, trip them up with your right arm in the under hook on their left leg and pushing your right thigh down on their arm. Clear their left leg out of the way, grab their belt and pull yourself into sitting position. Their arm should be trapped between your legs. Undo the triangle, lean forward, right leg on their tricep, right foot just near your left leg to get the submission. Aim to lean towards their opposite shoulder for the tap.
Some of the points are a little bit hazy as it’s a little bit more of a technical move. Hopefully we will revisit this one later. The teacher said this was more of a blue belt technique, but was just introducing it to us for future reference.
Anyways, points to remember from this lesson.
1. Control their posture with a grip on their lapel.
2. From someone’s guard, grab both sides of their lapel, pull down and twist inwards. Control their arm (via sleeve) that you intend to start standing up from.
3. You can change your angle and attack from utilising your opponent’s legs
4. If you control their posture with their lapel, you can shimmy your legs up to their shoulders for a different attack.
5. Sweeps are also available from this position.
6. For the Omo Plata, lean towards their opposite shoulder that you’re attacking. Pushing your thigh down against their tricep is critical to pushing your opponent into the Omo Plata position.
I actually managed to get someone during wrestling to submit to an Omo Plata! ^_^V First time ever! I’m not sure how I even set it up, but I found myself in the position for it and used point 6 to get it.
I did also try to get a D’arce Choke from side control, but failed to execute it properly...more practice required methinks!
