Partner: Anthony
Almost forgot to write this. Took a week of vacation to use up some days and I'm getting lazy I guess.
This week's techniques are some of my high percentage ones. I'm pretty decent at scissor sweep and often get farside armbar from knee on belly. Some pointers that I use:
- For the shoulder throw getting them on your hips is a big part of the battle. There was a recent video with Rickson where he described using a sitting back on a couch motion to help load them up, I like the analogy.
- For Farside Armbar, I like to emphasise a tight knee squeeze. As soon as I rotate I'm squeezing enough that even if I don't use my arms they couldn't get free.
- For Scissor Sweep, I think of it like a Judo throw. I pull them forward and load them up on top of me and then do the kick.
Rolling: Side Control (2 x 2 min), Guard (4 x 2 min)
Rolled With: Anthony, Jason, Brian
Had some success with attempting the techniques during rolling. For the armbar I think I need to focus on securing the arm to my head during the transition. That's where some can escape by jerking their arm out at the right time.
I rolled with Jason on his first day and tried my best at giving him a crash course on positions. It's very interesting to roll with someone on their first day.
