Getting smushed

Been back at Elite for a week. Heres some ways not to get smushed.

1. From underside
2. Hand fight blocking the crossface.
3. Both hands wax on trying to push his arm past your head and shrimp out
4. Continue to shrimp each direction and fight his arm past his head.


From mount

1. Keep their hip connected to yours by putting pressure on it. Then bridge to the point they'll fall over and then shrimp.
2. Push down on their pants when they superman to catch the leg into half.



Passing
1. Make them carry your weight, train on the ball to pass, use that low hip switching before they close their half guard to pass.
2. Legs fight legs, arms fight arms, head fights head. Use good hip pressure to pass.


Other than that I'm going to keep working my half guard and my top game.
