Theme & Techniques: Half guard hip switch pass & back take
Partner: Henry
Mike had us work on one of my favorite pass positions from half guard. One detail that he emphasized was to get behind their triceps with your triceps. It wasn't something that I considered that important as I'm attacking the kimura if their arm is in or trying to pass to mount if their arm is out. Getting behind the tricep helps prevent them framing and is more desirable. Henry and I went off in tangents a few times with rolling back takes and other setups.
Rolling: Half Guard
Rolled With: Henry, Tom, Jesus
Had some good rolls. Henry did well with his inversions from the bottom and guillotine attempts from the top.
With both Jesus and Tom I was able to get to deep half from the bottom as they left too much space with their knee. I also helped Tom isolate an arm and crossface to get mount.
Office Hours Partner: Tom
We rolled a few times and he shut down my NS choke. When I commented about not getting what I wanted he said something like, "I'm still on the bottom defending." We worked on the hip switch a bit more along with getting and underhook and coming up to the dog fight position.
