lesson 9

Alive drills and 10 planet drilling

All the time about frames and levers - posture and balance!

We'll start warmung up with
a) back to back drills - squats, pushing competition
b) single leg - can you make your partner fall (maybe some brakefalls or slow motion first?)
---go with the flow!
c) standup competition

A1 drills

A2 start to first cranby and catching opponents hips

(Try to take back when opponent is cranbying?)

Standing up when opponent has weight on your turtle...

Lesson 8

How to keep side control

Warmup 1. Passing open guard (touching with your shin opponents hip with control)

1. control legs - push back to mat
2. double under - leg drag - klee slice/torrendo

Instruction side control idea

1. Connection, chest-to-chest alignment – aligning the Iron Man beacons – and weight distribution with all primary arm positions (both on the near side, both on the far side, and the two staggered arm positions)

2. Always block out the near side hip/thigh to prevent opponent from recovering guard (you can do this with your knee, arm, or hip)

3. Kill (isolate) the near side arm to beat the frame

4. Control the far side arm to prevent opponent from rolling away

5. Attack (to improve position and/or submit your opponent)

Game: 2. Keeping side control vs escaping side control

To finish the class: 3. Sand wrestling 3 minute or 3 points matches

• lifting both feet up from mat (1 point)
• Standing, but getting back control (1 point) - lifting or takedown (extra point)
• tripping so that hand or any other part touches the mat (takedown) - but it has to be with control! Taking back after takedown is an extra points
• No points for "push out"
• No overtime
• Attackers knee or hand is allowed to touch the mat when shooting for single leg or double leg, but if opponents sprawls and both hands touch the mat - opponent gets a point

Lesson 7

What to teach?

Frames vs levers
Posture - balance

Gripfight - stepping back if bad control
Dance for unbalancing - 
10 planet A2 warmup sequence

Passing open guard - getting passed legs?

Positions? Mount, side control, back control?.... when?

Games - tag opponents head
- turn turtle - get guard back

Lesson 6

How to teach reaction - counter - reaction or push - pull - push.

Three step dance to unbalancing for a throw.( 2  - 1 step)
On your knees and giving in for opponents push ( twisting him on the mat)
Side "save position" - opponent trying to get you on your back - slide with force vs bambam

Question: "Do you feel his reaction?" When is it time to react?


Pummeling warmup with collar tie
First russien tie 2-1 vs duck under to back
then duck under, but opponent closes/pulls forward -> single leg
then when opponent goes for single leg -> wind mill


I promised a turtle game for this lesson

1) Starting from sprawl - can you move to back control
2) Starting from side of turtle - can you get to a good control position
- how to control? Keep weight/pressure on bottom person- get grips - control back - break posture
(front head lock to anagonda compination from Justin Rider)
3) Can the bottom person standup when opponent has pressure on turtle?

For fun





To teach
Shoot, sprawl
duck under
back control
armbar

Maybe I'll teach 10planet warmup A2 first part? And drill some A1 stuff?

Lesson 5

It's Wednesday lesson and my estimate is that I will have one student!

I will do a partner drill program and also a solo drill filming program, if I end up being the only one.

Slow/flow rolling just to
a) keep legs between partner
b) block closes entry
c) get hips further to get frames back

Side control? How to escape again slow roll?

Granby drills to finish and grilled chicken...


What do I want to film for Jason?
An imagenary rolling sequence - shadow rolling - simulater game alone?
Like playing chest against myself:-)

Not very motivated planning to much as the situation is so open.

Lesson 4

Some ideas More games!

Warm up
Pummeling and making opponent move
When collar tie -> duck under to back/ leg pick - russian 2-1 tie

When over under...same - try to get your leg behind opponents thigh to block it as you fall down. if he pulls it away, go for o soto gari on other side...


A) Fighting for grips - when to back up - when to unbalance
1.down - front - down to
2. ...faking single leg? 
3. "o soto gari" - weight on front leg when getting up
4....faking back take first)
Feel where opponent wants to go?

B)  SD sequence ... opponent choking you from behind...connection, balance/unbalance


C) Closed guard sequence (post to levers, breaking posture - where is balance)

D) How to prevent opponent from getting up from turtle?
Getting guard back?
How do you turn him over? Make table unstable...
How do you stand up from turtle when opponent has all his weight on you?

Lesson 3

Warmup - tag ball sitting on mat

1. Grip fight - make him move - get better angle

2. Pummeling and pulling - study on how opponent moves his legs? (Head position)

3. T-position or 2 on 1 takedowns (Connection and 3 directions - push, pull and stand tall)

4. O-sotogari to Koshiguruma from single hand and from selfdefence (opponent behind with arm choking you.)

Going step further principle

5. Closed guard - going step further https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfSY5X709E0
- hip bump (aeroplane) "my arm" - twist
- hip bump - > opponent controls core -> hope, push leg and sweep
- hip bump  ->stiff arm -> (first drilling going little further) -> armbar

(Extra drill: getting up in closed guard 10 x)

Grilled chicken - tag ball

6. Open closed guard and play some open guard in pocket drill

Alternative plan

Primary idea is to use the first lesson second time, but I did not have many students.
To keep me motivated I will change the structure of lessons to more own drilling and teach new students the same drills I am doing.

Today, my assumption is that I'll be drilling with my regular partner.



"Assibarai dance" and pummeling to t-position

Grilled chicken circle

Open guard passing - basic techniques introduction phase

Open guard passing - staying in the pocket and keeping balance

Flow rolling opponent standing to passing and keeping top position - bottom player escape and stand up and go again.

Key things to remember - breaking balance and posture - change post to levers
