Sunday teh 17th

so today was epic. that is about all. However, for you knuckleheads that couldn't be bothered to show up:


B+P+S/Bodok, Peredina, Spina drill: use a reverse "Beastmaster-grip". Orthodox lead=left grip to right hand of UKI. outside/left leg forward&single-leg/pistol squat, then left leg bkwd. then squat. Mirror image for R-hand lead. This drill emphasizes the continuity of movement and balance/poise necessary to execute a good throw.

Bodok throw: its a fireman's carry-rt. forearm vs. thigh of UKI and rt. leg posts while left leg shoots straight out. Head into armpit of UKI&look up, just like how you would defend a guillotine choke, posture-up and then throw UKI to the back-left-corner 7 o'clock on your watchface!

There's also the "dresser dump" version of this throw where instead of looking to the back corner, you look to the side and gather in the leg/arm like its a cradle. How you move and your tendencies will decide which works best for you.

same throw vs. a 2on1 guillotine reversal: same mechanics of the throw: rt. arm+rt.leg enter and follow thru with looking to the back corner~7 o'clock low! once you're on the ground, go in the direction of your arm. If dude's still holding the choke, this will be the best way to break the grip/hold. If you've broken the hold, just scramble however you like. You can get right to mount if the opportunity presents itself.

follow-up attack so you have the 2on1 guillotine hold and you feel the UKI moving to defend. Same bodok movement, but stepping behind UKI. This is tani-otoshi in Judo and for us its just a very sweet follow-up takedown. Step&post/bend knee between UKI's legs, send the left leg behind the UKI and you will flip them over onto their back and maintain the 2on1 hold.

this is one of my favorite YouTube channels, "balagezyan" just gets it right!!



From there, if you're no-gi do the Shamrock-choke where you chicken-wing your arm around their neck and move down, thumb towards frontal deltoid, like you're trying to pop their head off. The choke is from the forearm and the bicep&pec.

If you're no-gi, its an upside down jugi-gatame. I can't explain that right now cause I'm getting too fucking tired!!!!

the last permutation was verus turtled opponent use the same leg movement: whatever the grip be it a greco-head and arm clasp or a west-point-hold or a tag+belt grip, spring to flat-feet and press right leg vs.calf.

~Turn UKI over onto back, there's a few outcomes depending on you/them: leg underneath=work for scissors-choke: hold arm as if you're going to attack it, work legs in extension and flexion to "work into the choke" squeeze on extension for the finish.

~hook far arm with left leg, crucifix-style and control right arm for armbar. This is a nice one for no-gi work

~depending on if you "under-roll or over-roll" you can work the armbar or a leg attack.
