Open guard attacks

Tonight in class, I'm gonna try open guard attacks. Traditional open guard arm lock and triangles.

Leg Lasso

I've been trying to work on the leg lasso position. Here is a sweet sweep I want to try. I haven't seen it elsewhere so maybe it's a bs move. I'll workshop it in class today:

Opponent Kneeling (We learned this in class and it works):

Javier School!

Javier took the time to show me a bunch of sweet moves:

From Closed Guard

1. Deep cross collar grip their left collar. Break them down. Lift up your left elbow to create a straight choke across their trachea. Reach around their head with your right arm and grab your left elbow material. Push down with your right arm and up with your right arm.

2. Arm triangle. Break them down. drag their right arm across your body. With your left arm hook around their head. Use a rear naked choke motion to finish.

Escaping the back

1. In turtle, they harness grip you and keep a little too high on your back. Hold the elbow opposite of where the opponent's body is. Tuck the arm in and roll towards your right shoulder. During the resulting scramble, take side control.

class notes

We worked on a few things today:

1. Movement drills: mount to s-mount to back
2. Butterfly Sweep
3. Halfguard to butterfly sweep
4. Open guard sweep
4a. Knee to bicep sweep
4b. Leg lasso to sweep
5. Open guard sweep counter-counter
5a. As they push in your knee, you dive in deep and finish the sweep

Butterfly Guard Notes:
a. Be an annoying little ball
b. Keep everything tight!
c. Underhook with your arm the same side as you have your knee up
d. keep your head low and tight
e. grip the pant leg of the other side
f. Get your hip out and to the side!

Private lesson

Holy crap, I basically got a private lesson with oli and justin. learned so much i could feel knowledge seeping out my ears. and probably some blood.

Triangle setups from closed guard guard:

1. Grab opponents right sleeve with your right hand. Grip break with help from your left hand. Keeping the sleeve grip, bring your right arm around your head and pin their right arm under your head. Get an overwrap with your left arm and grab a cross collar grip with your left arm. you can now release the pin of the orm with your head. They can try to posture up but you can hold their head and keep the overwrap. when the try to post with their left arm, push it down with your right arm. Ladder your right leg over the arm and get a shoulder lock. Triangle from there.

2. Setup for this is closed guard and they have tight grips and good posture. Grab a cross collar grip with your left hand. get a sleeve grip on their left hand with your right hand. Open guard and hip way out - you want distance and hip to the left. You have 2 options from here.

2a. If their right elbow is held away from their body (is out), shoot your left leg inside and bridge up, catch their neck with your leg and triangle!

2b. If their right elbow is held in and tight, use your left knee and hit their right arm from the outside and push it down. Now ladder with your left leg to shoulder lock. triangle from there.

3. Leg lasso. Closed guard. double sleeve grip. Hip way out. wrap their right arm with your left leg. Push your left leg way in and keep the sleeve grip tight. pull them in. slide your right leg across their body and dig your arm under them to reach their inner right leg around the knee. dig your head in too. pull them in and sweep! Mount!

Class

Learned so much today!

1. Hand defense
2. Arm drag, pivot around leg, leg pull, take the back. Collar grip, corkscrew leg, choke
3. Arm wrap, push other arm threw, armbar
4. Shoulder lock to armbar
5. If someone gets butterfly guard on you and lifts you up, post with outer leg, twist hips and drive knee in to ground. from there, hook their upper leg with your foot (the same side as the knee you dropped down.) - move to mount.

NoGi notes

notes:
1. need to buy boardshorts
2. cup the back of the neck - tuck in your elbow
3. triangle setup - grab arm, push under, pop shoulder lock
4. sitting guard setup - cup back of neck, grab upper arm, butterfly sweep
5. rear naked choke notes - don't stretch them out, dig in deeper
6. grips: back of neck, upper arms, cup elbows, wrist grab, ankle grab, double under shoulder grab.

Ribeiro's Hip Bump Sweep

Ribeiro's Hip Bump Sweep is different than the one I learned from Justin. Instead of reaching over their shoulder, you turn and control their elbow grabbing the sleeve grip. Then he hip bump sweeps the opponent over.

Class Notes:

Great open mat class today. Ollie went over 2 main points for me:

1. When I have side control and want to transition to mount, take it piece by piece. Go for knee on belly. Establish control. Slide the knee down to make contact with the floor. Then transition to full mount.

2. When someone is in your guard and stands up, use this sweep: First, underhook one leg. As they rise, twist your hips and bridge strong. You will end up in mount. Believe in your sweep and commit to it!

Class Notes

Justin taught me all sorts of stuff today. I'll break it down into two main points:

1. What to do when someone is in your guard and they stand up
a. As they stand, overhook their heels and push up with your hips. This should knock them over.
b. If instead of falling over, they lean forward, push in their elbows and roll them over your shoulder

2. How to choke someone when you have their back.
The basic choke goes like this:
a. Go under their left armpit with your left arm and grab their right lapel
b. Go over their right shoulder with your right arm, close shave, deep collar grip their left collar, get the choke in.
c. Pull the choke tight by pulling down and across. Stretch them out.

3. Variation:
a. Get the choke from 2
b. Bring your right leg over their right shoulder. Cross your feet
c. Squeeze!

3. Variation: switch to armbar.
a. Get the choke from 3
b. If your grips aren't good enough to finish the choke, lift up your left forearm. This should lift their left arm up.
c. Let go of your choke, and with your right hand, push their head away from the left arm.
d. Move your leg from their right shoulder to over their head.
e. Finish with the armbar.

Class Notes

Things that were yelled at me:
1. Don't think so much
2. Relax
3. Watch your arms; keep them in
4. Just do it.
5. Keep it tight
6. What the fuck are you doing? Paulo, what the fuck are you doing? (Ollie watching me try to escape an armbar.)
