Escapes from top control (mount)
First 3, practise in any order for a few rounds then looked at chaining any 3 motions together. Time to explore and experiment. The first 2 attempts 'fail' and the 3rd is a successful escape.
1: hip up and roll (blocking the arm in the direction you want to roll them).
2: hands on hips and lower knee out to full leg trap.
3: hand under armpits to elevate (as if you are sliding under them).
Technique 4: shrimping. This was practised as a solo drill moving around the floor then with our partners.
Other combination escapes from top control:
Elevation escape - they sit back - use this momentum to push on his hips for the shrimping escape.
Hip up and roll escape - drop hips to the floor and fall to the side and shrimp out. We did this in without our partners to drill the motion then with our partners.
Reversal from bottom control (guard) using the shoulder and bicep suppression (head and arm triangle):
Pass an arm across your centreline, sink in the bicep and shoulder - maintain control with your arms and head as you scoot the hips out from underneath him. You need to lower his centre of gravity from off you to make the several as smooth and efficient as possible. Whichever arm is passed across his centreline, that is the way his base is weak and therefore the way you will be reversing him. If right arm is across his centre that means I will be rolling to my left. Hips out to the right lie on your side - work the right foot into his inner thigh - maintain the leg position - now move the left elbow to the floor and pull your head out - he should rotate on to his back. This was quite tricky to get but for me, one the head was being pulled out then the reversal seemed effortless. Before then I was trying to elevate with my leg, wrench the reversal. The key seems to be that his being pulled out. When reversed you end up in side control (on top).
Free form sparring:
Rolled with Mishel, we tangled for time over a downward shoulder rotation (him on top and me underneath).
Limited positional sparring:
One person has to keep their back on the mat, other can go to any position. If the person on their back escapes then switch. Both can look for submissions.
One person starts with sitting back control, can move to any orientation so long as back control is maintained. Th gaining of a submission signals the end of the round and switch.
No arm control: anything goes except no manipulation or control of the arms allowed, going for the submission.
Sprint sparring - normal pace then 3 rounds of 20-second high intensity motion, dominance and submission if possible. Almost Tabaata protocol, almost.
