Jiu-Jitsu (nogi):
- Guard Pass - when in guard, place hands on neck / biceps and pop up to feet. From feet, place knees behind butt and drop to one knee. While arching back like a cat, use knee to pry legs apart. Once guard is open, use one of the passes we've been working on lately
- Guard Pass to kneebar - Knee through the middle to opposite side. Move elg all the way through while hooking leg. Pinch knees together hard controling opponent's body and extend hips.
- Baiting Kimura to taking back - When in opponent's half guard, bait them to go for Kimura. Once opponent moves for Kimura, roll with it down to your side (crushing Kimura), and pull their arm behind their back. Throw hook over their body and pin their arm behind their back. This leaves you only fighting one hand while trying for choke.
Rolling:
Rolled with a 14 year old kid who hasn't been coming too long (really got to work on technique.. mainly the north/south - kimura/armbar/leg choke option). Also rolled with Mike and Stewart. Was tapped by both of them, but I'm starting to feel more and more confident in my guard passes and technique.
