Class notes: bicep and shoulder suppressions plus Sakuraba leg attacks

How to find the shoulder and bicep position from side control.

Jumping over to the opposite side. HEAD TO HEAD PRESSURE IS KEY. This stops him trying to get his arm out.

Closing with the suppression by grabbing your opposite bicep. This gives you more depth and tightness on the arm in side.

Closing the suppression with the palm to palm grip. Flatten your hips down and get perpendicular to him. This give more space for his arm that is in but is tighter on the side you are closing with the bicep on the neck.

Shoulder and bicep from side back control.

Shoulder and bicep from sitting back control.

All throughout each submission was the necessity to keep the head pressure.

Here is an example of getting the move from standing, note the relentless head pressure to prevent the arm from escaping.



Sakuraba leg attacks:

Setting up the ankle rotation from open bottom control.

Rolling with the ankle rotation so you end up on your back.

Sitting in reverse mount so that you are straddling one of his legs. Go for the knee bar, he prevents by blocking with his other foot, go for the ankle rotation, he extends so fall back for the knee extension finish.

In this video he does what we we looked at tonight: going for the ankle rotation to knee extension. However, we did not endure a torrent of face punches whilst going for the submission.



Almost catches Royce with a knee extension from the depths of hell
