This week's sessions were decent. On Monday, Andre went through a
sidemount set-up that leads to a multitude of submissions. This setup
came about through weaving the shoulder pinning arm inside and
establishing grip control on the opponent's arm pit. From there a kesa
gatame switch can be done with the armbar along with the triangle.
Additionally, I was able to figure out a second S mount switch from the
arm weave in position. Tuesday was yet another good session with more
drills from Jimmy. I began to realize that I need to close, snatch the
armdrag and consistently go straight in for the double leg takedown.
Joel went through a technique from the head chuck down in which the arm
weaves inside and sidemount can be taken along with another set up for
the darce. Wednesday was for the most part simply rolling although I did
figure out an integral point on hitting the scissor sweep from guard
whereupon you grip the opponent's sleeve prop him forward then conduct
the sweep. I did extra amounts of rolling and felt off and tired, but
realized that I need to work on guard sweeps and gaining top position.
Thursday was Luca's class and he went over the basic knee cut pass
through two methods of underhooking the opponent's side. He also showed a
cool variation of the 405 pass against the half butterfly guard where I
drive my fist into opponent's arm pit leaving me an ample opportunity
to make a slight leap and pass. Rolling was decent, I need more attacks
from my bottom guard and my wrestling could stand to have continual
improvements--more work and research is of necessity.Friday was deigned
as a rest day, however, I still was able to go and practice my new
climbing hobby, and through that I am discovering fundamental
similarities with BJJ. Saturday had me rolling at city of champions
where I was able to roll several rounds no gi and learned that I have a
weakness with escaping and breaking down the quarter guard. Sunday was
quite amazing with the Cobrinha seminar. Within the seminar, Cobrinha
showed off an excellent method for taking the back where the inside
collar is grabbed and the opponent moves inside then as he moves to the
outside there is a pull downwards and the single leg attack can be
conducted and takedown occurs. From that point onwards, Cobrinha went
into intricate details on the administration of collar chokes coming
from when you pull the opponent down and wait for his reaction of going
to turtle then taking the back. The complexity was rather enormous
nonetheless there will be ample areas for me to work on in the coming
weeks rolling to pull these moves off
