New games

Give students a concept...new game has to focus on a concept!

1. Pummeling game

-what is the concept in clinch?
Fight for douple under hook or getting to back with you underhook.

Concept or key is connection and control...
How do you make space...
How do you control frames/levers? (thumb in)
How do you break posture?

2. Close guard game

Open vs sweep? - Catch arm - break posture...

3. Open guard (what is the concept..ultmate goal for guard player vs passer)

Pass vs sweep... catch both legs? Foot and hip control?
Both wrists...

For a passer goal could be to get control over one knee? To restrict opponents movement to only one direction....build a stopper...

4. OPEN Guard sweep game

top person no hands

1. if top person goes backwards - low single
2. if top person goes forward - "tomoe nage"...or some thing else
3. stands in pocket - balance line and guard player tries to sweep.

5. Goal of passer - control hips? (or solify pass with chest pressure?)

Developing micro drills

1. Stand up - frame vs lever

How do you make a grip, if opponent does not let you close the distance?
How do you close it?

Make an angle? Drop level? Push pull? 2 on 1? Trip/sweep?

B. Fight for  douple leg -
- close with back hand security
- collar tie
- shoot when opponent is lifting his head

C. Porder patrol

D. My tie or no tie

E. 2 on 1 russian tie

F. Over under

G. Pinched head lock

H. taking back - arm drag

shooting douple leg - knee pinch takedown

low single

Takedown...

Open guard 

Lesson 12

Games and positional sparring

Session could go like - balance and posture -> breaking it and going with flow two options? Slow roll to find the sweet spot or triggger?

Standup game + takedowns ( add a T-position and takedowns from there)

Passing open guard - add defence - >control both legs

Turtle game? add attacks?

Half guard - also attacks

Side control from just getting arounf headlights
 (guard retention vs side control - if side control -> escape)

Lesson 11

Still rolling

Lesson from last class was more action and rolling.

Next I'll start with stand up game - and add takedowns for "winners". "Match ends when you get a single leg, opponents hand touches the mat or you can circle behind opponent and take his back. BUT you get to finish your technique with no resistance.

Maybe same style could be for
Passing open guard
Side control positional sparring
Turtle postional
Closed guard
Half guard

10 lesson - final for this season
