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

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
