9/17 notes - hug around chest pass, arm drag, etc

[andrewyao]

Started with hug around chest pass for warmup.

Arm drag from butterfly guard.

• Grab his right tricep with your right hand high on his arm, near his shoulder.
  
• 
  Pull explosively by turning and using your legs.
  
• Move your hips forward and to the side, so your right leg is hugging his right knee.
  
• Start choking him immediately while his hands are posted.
  

To counter arm drag from butterfly guard, you need to put your weight on him with the hug around chest pass. Immediately! No hesistation!

• Stand up.
  
• Right arm underhook, left hand pins down his knee as you dive forward.
  
• Put all your weight on your right shoulder to prevent him from pummeling his arm back under.
  
• Keep your head on the opposite side of his head from your underhook, looking away from him.
  
• Lift your butt up, slide your knee through to side control.
  

Next we did side control escaping.

• Put your forearms across his hip and throat.
  
• Push with your forearm near your elbow, not your wrist.
  
• Move your hips away, slide your right knee in across his waist.
  
• Turn your body so you are facing him.
  
• Hook your left foot inside his right leg.
  
• Pull him to your guard.
  

To counter this escape.

• Don't let him get posture. Kill his posture.
  
• If his arm is across your left hip, crush your left hip down on it.
  
• Or slide your right hip across it, pinning it against his head.
  
• if his left arm is across your throat, block his elbow with your right hand and move your own head down to under his armpit.
  
• Don't keep your weight evenly distributed. Put all your weight on one point. A 1 lb screwdriver hurts a lot more than a 1lb cookie. Jimmy to demonstrate with his screwdriver at this point.
  
• 
  

If you are on top of mount, you want to climb up higher on his chest.

If you are on bottom of mount, you want to keep your elbows inside his thighs to prevent him from climbing higher.

This is awesome. This is a great resource for reviewing and practicing the techniques covered in class. My old instructor would always tell us to bring a notebook to class so we could write stuff down in this manner.

I am going to post this in the techniques section when I update this week. There aren't any pictures obviously, but someone who roughly understands the positions could learn a lot from this.

I'll bring a camera next week and we put some photos to this.

Nice. Sorry about the screwdriver, and bring the camera again, so we can document this next time!!!!!
