No, that's not a typo.
The second technique I took photos of today was a move I thought I developed. But I didn't. I "made it up" one day and was further convinced of my genius, but later realized that I'd seen it in Nino Schembri's omoplata instructional and forgotten it, until it subconsciously resurfaced while I was rolling. Nevertheless, I've taken it and infused it with the rubber guard I picked up at Eddie's seminar, which is what I present to you today.
Notice that I don't use any gi grips, so don't cry for a no-gi version just because my dummy is wearing a gi.
My training partner is Jon, who was awarded his blue belt just yesterday.
Jon is in my closed guard with good posture (head up, back straight, hands on my chest).
I open my guard and put my feet on the floor, scooting back as I sit up and gable grip behind his head.
I fall back, pulling him down to break his posture. My right foot goes to his hip, and if I can't step on his hip, I know I'm too close and need to scoot higher. I need to be able to push his hip away to keep from being stacked.
Now and throughout this and all rubber guard moves, keep constant pressure with your legs, squeezing your knees, curling your legs. This will prevent them from pushing your legs down and driving a knee through your guard.
Notice how he put his hands on my chest. If he just posted on the floor I'd skip ahead and go straight to overhooking and New York.
I bring my left foot high on his back and hook under it with my right wrist for mission control. Notice that I am not using the fingers or even the palm of my hand, but the actual wrist.
Squeeze knees, leg curls.
My left fist comes under his right elbow and punches up through the inside.
I zombie my hand to the sky, which puts his arm on the ground and in my armpit so I can overhook it.
