Milzy took the class tonight.
Warm up was push ups, sit ups, squats and sprawls.
Knee tap sparring, sprawl when the back of your knee is tapped.
Elbow extension drilling from centre control (mount).
Elbow extension drilling from bottom control (guard).
Escaping the bottom control drilling.
Fighting with gloves on to escape bottom control, bottom control can submit x2 rounds.
Greco takedowns - hips and above.
Freestyle wrestling takedowns then pin for 3 seconds
Takedown from the knees to shoulder pinning.
Free form grappling x3 rounds.
I called this pushing beyond your limits as this was the most exhausting session I have had in many years. As I type my forearms feel like jelly, my head feels like it is till stuck in a vice and sunburned at the same time. But without hardship, challenge and struggle there will be no progress.
In the words of the great Sam Elliot, playing Wade Garrett in Roadhouse (possibly one of the finest 80's mullet-laden movies) "I'll rest when I'm dead", well I am at least half way there and have no plans to rest yet!

Class notes: fighting from your back
Going to your back is something that Lee firmly advises against from an MMA perspective, he is more understanding in a pure grappling perspective. This is the one aspect of my own training that I am working on to improve. My default is to go to the back and so I am trying to work harder to give it up and spend more time in more dominant positions. As this has been habitual for me I need to break the patterns and create new ones. Later on in the session during free form I managed to secure submissions from side control (head and arm), side control (upward shoulder rotation with leg), centre control (mount) chest smoother. I also got to work on relaxing during some very painful vice grips on the head and neck.
Leg with shoulder suppression(triangle) to downward shoulder rotation (kimura)
If they try to defend the triangle by hooking the freearm under your hips, this prevents you from passing the leg across your hips to close the choke. Hold his head tight and keep his structure folded, swap the legs over as this will apply more pressure to his shoulder and not the neck. Keep your alignment on the same plane as his chest. Squeeze your knee towards your chest and begin to manipulate the arm around your leg for the double wrist lock (upward shoulder rotation). A key point when applying the DWL is to pin your elbow to your chest as the fulcrum. The will ensure his ability to escape is limited. Now you can line your torso off line to him to get the arm.
Side control escape and submission attacks.
The person on their back has to escape the side control position, the person in top position makes them work for the escape. As they escape something will be left open or available. This was about looking for a range of submissions on the escape. Once the submission is found, positions were swapped and the drill continues.
Arm drag from sitting.
We finished it by taking side back control. The first video is the great Marcello Garcia working his arm drag. I read once that he is so good that he tells high level guys what he is going to do and still manages to pull it off.

Arm bar to triangle choke
http://www.mma121.com | In this video you will learn how to switch your attack to a Leg Suppression / Traingle Choke when your opponent defends the Elbow Extension / Arm Bar. It's very common for an opponent to defend the Arm Bar by pulling their arm back through the hips before the submission is locked in. When this happens there is an opportunity to retain control and chain the submission into a Triangle Choke. This requires the person applying the submission to think ahead, react fast and control well with the legs.
This submission combination is great for chaining together in MMA competition or BJJ matches
