Theme & Techniques: Half Guard Torque Position: Dog Fight Takedown, Sweep, Limp Arm to Back Control
Partner: Ben, Tom
Gained some great details from today's class. I've known for a while that I'm a little lazy with my no gi underhook from half guard. In gi I feel like I get away with it because I usually grab the belt, but no gi I really need to get a hold of the far hip bone. The other detail during the sweep was that I'm better off going under their leg instead of trying to control the knee like I do in the gi so some good stuff today.
Rolling: KOTM Half Guard
Rolled With: Mike A, Tom, Ben, Harvey, Dave
Had success with half guard and pulled off the torque sweep or came up with it. Didn't find a time to attempt the limp arm. I played a lot of different things in half guard and felt good about my breadth of diversity in my techniques.
Mike and I had a good roll with a lot of transitions. Primarily I went to deep half and some other positions. I ended up in kind of a leg drag position after going for single leg x and we talked about that after and that I should have looked for full x guard before he came down to his knee.
Office Hours Partner: Mike, Harvey, Tom
We talked some more half guard after class and discussed some passing options and defenses. Smash pass probably took up the significant portion of time.
