Sunday Mornings

Closed guard bump sweep
1. Tight closed guard, raise hips so your weight is on their hips like a belt and on your shoulders.
2. Control the wrist, when they posture pull back with your legs
3. When they raise up push off toward the wrist with your hips. Come up to mount.

Escaping side control tips
If they are keeping a tight side control SLOWLY wiggle and move your elbow down take it slowly instead of trying to bridge instantly. Bridge once the space is felt.

MR. Bad Guy

Went up to Ground Dwellers gym run by Eddie Avelar (might have misspelled) had a great time and got gi-owned by MBG. He's definitely improved his game all over the place, I suspect he's on horse steriods... 

Eddie showed me some things to keep in mind and new tricks.

Lapel shoulder choke

1. Grab their lapel with your right hand, pull it out and over your right knee.
2. stretch it out and put it over your left foot.
3. grab their left sleeve with your right hand and extend your leg sweeping them.
4. Foot goes off lapel so it's under your left thigh, pull the left arm and squeeze.


Zapruder
1. Grab their left hand with both hands in half guard
2. push your left foot on their left hip
3. pull and omoplata motion their leg with your right leg 
4. triangle your legs and work for a leglock.

Triangle escape
1. post hands on them posture
2. feet over their chest and push back
3. slide a leg over and across their waist step over to the other side.

Defeating the over hook and new way to posture.
1. Grab their lapels underneath their armpits
2. push out and stand up
3. break or if your arm is trapped reach back and rubber arm free.

Wrist lock from lapel grab.
1. If they are grabbing your lapels underneath your armpits
2. grab one side lapel and feed it over their hand to your opposite hand pull taught.
3. grab their wrist and pull

Thread through pass with the arm trapped
1. Get a sleeve grip feed it to your other hand under their legs
2. shoulder pressure down
3. walk all the way around keeping hips low, option to jump to opposite side.

Defense to thread through pass 
1. If the arm is trapped your torso as an extra arm to push head down.
2. Grab the belt and try the flip.

OR 
1. Roll them over if they are committing to the pass, by spinning in the opposite direction. If they let go shrimp.

Great stuff great people can't say enough good things about Eddie and his people at Ground Dwellers.
