Jiu-Jitsu (Nogi) (1 hour):
Warmup (lots of jogging, captains chair against wall (300), LOTS of stretching)
- Slip Under Takedown - very similiar to the half guard sweep that we've been working on. Grab opponent behind head and other hand on wrist. Pull opponent out and toward you putting them off balance. Then slip under their legs like the half guard pass and slip out the back . Remember to hang onto opponent's hand until you pass to back or side mount. If opponent lands flat on stomach, take back. If they land on their side, move to north-south and begin working a kimura/armbar/knee-neck choke.
- Armbar from failed taking back - armdrag from guard and slip to take back. If opponent grabs your arm and holds you back down, lock in their near side arm with your elbow and push away their head. Once head is far enough away, your top leg around and throw it across their face, locking in the armbar.
Rolling (1 hour):
5x ~5min. rounds with Adam, Stewart's Dad, Mike, and another guy. Did fairly well and got and arm triangle and a keylock. Funniest point of rolling is when Stewart's Dad (new to nogi, but has good gi jiu jitsu) collar choked me with my t-shirt. The t-shirt stretched out and we all had to explain it haha. Got to wear my new wand vale tudo shorts and i absolutely love them.
