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.

class notes: bottom control (guard) masterclass
Takedown drill warm up: double leg to side bag clinch to single leg.
Key learning points are the hips; keep them pinned to him if you want the takedown, keep them away if you don't want it and want to avoid him getting it. Throughout each phase of movement in this drill they should feel head pressure.
On the outside of the ribs on the double leg.
On their shoulder blades on the side back clinch.
On their front ribs on the single leg.
This image below illustrates the depth and commitment of the double leg.
In essence you are moving around him whilst in contact. For example, shoot in on the right leg, move around his back and capture the leg leg for the single.
Bottom control 1:
Submit or pass. Person on their back has to look for creative and a variety of submissions or submission attempts. Top person has to avoid the submission and pass the legs to side control. When passed, start again. The one thing I noticed was when going for the shoulder rotation (omoplata) they might defend by sitting up and pulling away. From here you can slide the near side leg under his chin to set up the shin choke (gogplata). The angle is far from perfect so you need grap your foot by reaching around his head. You might not even get the finish but having the shin across their neck will generate movement from them so you can explore other positions.
My partner got some nice elbow extension on me. The type when the pressure is applied to the tricep and my hand is on his shoulder.
Submit or reverse: Similar to above except the person on top is not trying to pass. They are preventing the submission and keeping their base to avoid being swept.
Inversion from open spider guard
inversion dexterity from the bottom: side control to north south - 'roll' out
These are complicated motions to describe in words, hopefully these images will give some clearer ideas of what we were doing.
dexterity against the wall
This is an example of the dexterity drill we dill.
This video, start at 1.48 gives an idea of the motion. We were not using the inversion as an entry but from contact range already.
Again, this video is not what we were doing but is a creative way to get the triangle from an inverted position.
This video looks very similar in terms of movement that we were looking at. Start it at 2.22
