New moves and skills

The first things first. Head lock escapes. Very basic very neglected. 
1. Like scraping something off yourself you must use your underhook to push against their shoulder. Elbow comes to their hip, get to your knees/their back.

2. Hook the leg. They leave their leg close elbow comes inside using a bridge. Hook their leg use that hook to pop your hip/ride their hip over the top. The thrusting pressure is whats important.

3. The bridge and roll. They run from you so bridge their head forward to the mat, then bridge up, slide the knee under them, bridge again and over.

4. They run too far, scissor kick to your knees after walking away from them, then bring them back.


Escaping side.

Getting to your knees. They control your leg, so shrimp away from them while pressuring their hip and collar. Walk away extra far. Tuck the hip arm in. Post with your foot, and push with the collar arm. Get to your knees.

Knee ride escape.

Turn away from them. Walk your leg one step out, bring (the leg close to them) over your far leg. Crunch, and swing wide and windmill leg back into guard. It goes over their head and around.

Good Works

Things to remember. 

1. On knee through passes the knee stays glued to my chest. 
2. Re-grip and grab their sleeve.
3. When they grip me in open guard guard grab their lapels and don't give them space to sweep.
4.Use elbow to force their head to the outside when they attempt to pass.
5. Stay tight with chest to chest in transitions around n/s and side.
6. Nick's Pass. From butterfly guard grip their sleeve keep your elbows in tight, push knee to the side, use chest to flatten, switch hips to other side, open legs, grip their close knee, walk around or over.
