Wednesday

Drilled with Dv.

Jumping guard and base work.

Breaking Jump guard > right hand break guard > combat base > slide leg over > secure with other leg > side control.

Jump guard > grip and drag arm > work for armbar then switch sides to omoplata as you drag down.

Rolled with many. Worked from bottom.

Complimented on aggression.

Braulio

Drilled with Mi.

Mostly worked on the "check point" while aiming for side control.

Advancing to side control:

Control shoulders or hips!

Zigzag arms > knee deep under butt > pushing through so their knees face open side > base outside hand OR opposite leg if needed -- wait for opening they make
If they bridge, scissor arm underneath (palm UP) and glue them in.

Pushing head: use own shoulder as base OR rotate out and away (Matrix)

LOCK: straighten leg > ankle to their ankle > lift up > easy release > knee in deep

Shin on belly:  head/shoulder tight to chest > pressure to keep their foot towards their butt (tiptoes) > hips down to push leg to floor > straight arm knee to allow transition to side

So much to take in.
Very tough day on the brain!
Opened my eyes further to my inexperience.
That reflection alone is worth it, I hope.
