Theme & Techniques: Seoi Nage, Cross Collar Choke from Back, Guillotine from Closed Guard
Students: Bhuvana, Shane, Jess, Anthony, Frank
Had them do a standing arm drag to the back to valley drop drill for part of the warm-up. With Seoi Nage I tried to incorporate some of the stuff that Bob has helped me with. Stepping into the tip of the triangle and getting them off balance. One thing I also emphasized today was the importance of falling correctly.
The cross collar choke or sliding lapel choke has actually turned into one of my highest percentage chokes. At first I discounted it because I liked the bow and arrow so much more, but now I go to this first and then if I can't finish it will transition to bow and arrow. I consider this choke pretty direct and I don't have to work as hard.
With the guillotine Bhuvana actually pointed out something that I forgot during instruction which is how Greg gets his hip off to the side. It's a really great detail as you really get out of their way as their head falls to the floor.
Rolling: Back Mount, Guard, Free Rolling
I didn't get to roll that much today due to even number of students. Saw some good stuff and was surprised by Anthony as he just came back from a long break. He was using his flexibility and redirecting bigger guys pretty well. Jess the new guy was doing some good things too but also gassing himself out a bit, won't be long before he gets used to it. I saw Shane setup an awesome triangle and when he got stacked he underhooked the far leg and took total control of his partners posture. So cool to watch people improve.
