11/22/07 - BJJ - Mr. Stuart

Warmed up class with running 10 laps and stretching. We then went into techniques.

Arm Drag from Butterfly Guard (BG)

• You have your opponent in your BG
• Sit up, grap their left elbow with both hands
• Pull your left leg back and outside of their leg
• Drag their left arm to your right
• Take their back

Guillotine from taking the back

• Take your right arm over their head
• Left arm to their side and underneath them
• Gable grip and fall to your back, not your side
• Make a muscle and squeeze

Butterfly Guard Pass

• Take your right leg and put it between theirs ad squeeze
  
• You now have their right leg trapped between yours
• Lay your head on their chest and hold down their gi around their chest
  
• Kick your right lef back and replace it. This will trap their left foot between you and them
• Sit it out for a bit until they calm down
  
• With your left elbow push their knee down and slide your left leg over theirs
• You are now "laying" on their bent right leg
• Wait it out till they calm down
• Push their leg out of the way with your left knee and you step your right leg over and take side mount

Choke/Crank from side (NG)

• As they turn into you reach your left arm back and under their head
• right arm under their arm pit
• gable grip and squeeze. Take mount of even opposite side to make tighter

After class I was talking to Sam about posturing up in guard. I was just using my back muscles to lift my body up and it didnt work well. You need to use your fists to push into their belly. Try to put your fists through them to the floor. As you posture up scoot your hips forward and keep your head to the sky.
