Single Leg

Continued to work the fake guard jump single leg takedown.

1) trapped the leg between my thighs and hopped backwards until partner's leg is close to mine at which point I drop on my knees and both my hands grab for the ankle of the partner's free leg until he collapes over and I end up on top. Remember when I have the single to hold my collar. I can even use one hand to grab partner's free ankle while I hold onto my collar with my hand holding the leg.

2) fake guard pull to single. Pick the leg straight up and bring it to my outside (left side) and sweep with an osoto gari variation. Remember to sweep with my right leg pushing him forward with my right hand on his collar. My left arm holding his leg should be  holding my collar as I do this.

Counter to the Single Leg

- If the opponent has control of my right leg I keep it in between his legs. I immediately reach over his back with my right hand and grab his belt palm down. I then push his head to my right side so it's ont centered on my body. My left hand reaches under him and holds the arm (his outside arm; left?) trapping it. I scoot my standing leg foward so I can get under him and I drop myself to the ground  pulling and kicking him backwards with my leg in between his thighs until I am on top.

Rolling:

Dylan: played leg locks. passed guard. ended on top. side control. mount. hard to secure submission from mount. he has good defense.

Jordan: played leg locks and it made it a little more difficult for Jordan. I think I got a triple sweep. Survived a little longer this time around.

Liron: a lot of x-guard. swpet to roll on top and had to pass with knee through leg over shoulder. Maintained good side control. When I mount I controled his left arm with an over under which really helped keep him in position. He bumped many times and I was able to maintain position.

Ian: really have to fight to retain gaurd with Ian. He drives 110% and waits for me to tire out. I might need to turn up the aggression when retaining guard.

Danny: rolling with Danny is a lot of fun because we roll around in all sorts of position. playing a lot of x-guard and always looking to try to take his back. he is really good at pass my guard but I've been getting better preventing it.

Tyler: at the end of class rolled 5 minutes. I used no strength just relied on pure technique. I tried not to use my arms. It was a good experience. lots of butterfly, backtakes, smooth scarfhold to side control. It helped me work on my fluidity.
