Jiu Jitsu Training Log - February 17th-23rd

Monday: Advanced Class
We worked on an Ouchi Gari takedown, I didn't feel very strong with this takedown.  I felt like my tripping leg was not very strong.

On the ground we worked escapes from the North/South position.  Use your legs as a pendulum to create space and get your elbows under your partners are arms.  Then swim your arm through as you turn to your belly and come to your knees.  Now, you have a single leg, you can finish that or reach for a high underhook and shrug him off to get his back.  The next, was continue the pendulum motion with your legs but come all the way around to and hook one leg, bringing your other knee through to the other side of your partner's hip.  You can finish a sweep here by moving your hips and turning your arms.

The last one, was creating space and getting your elbows between you and your partner again.  Then, bump and push with your arms at the same time and bring both knees between your partner's armpits.  Next, spin under your partner and you'll end up with one leg along his hips and another over his head to recover guard.  A sweep from here is to control his far arm and grab his pants, bump into him and when he pushes back, load him up onto your legs to complete the sweep.  Whew, that was a lot of escapes with a lot of technical details I'll probably forget!

Tuesday: Randori
Nothing specific, just good drilling and rolling.

That's all the training I did this week, with a marathon coming up on Sunday I decided I needed the rest.
