Sunday Oct 19th:

wizzer, Russian 2on1 and Vertuchka day

wizzer:

•with their arm across your back, underhook and drive your arm across their waist, or take a lapel-grip@the far collar. Push@the waist/pull@lapel and drive your shoulder into them to break posture

•step under and Uchimata/mule-kick throw, move "foot-to-foot" so that you get under them as much as you can, your belt should be below theirs or you won't get any power from your hips.

•for no-gi, a more reliable takedown is to break posture and use your free hand to press their head down as if you were encouraging them to do a forward roll. See Asashoryou for the best example.

•if your opp. steps back from the uchimata, then step around&behind them, with explosiveness please, into the sumo-squat chair throw. Be sure to rotate your chest into them as you hit the throw, as if you were to clothesline them with your free arm

•if your opp.bases equally so you can't get behind or across them, you can hit the vertuchka sacrifice: a 2on1 grip with the jacket or just send your free-arm under like you are upper-cutting their armpit with the inside of your elbow.

•if their far-foot steps forward, the Ko-uchi-splitz is about the most badassest thing you can pull off. Instead of just hooking and tripping the foot jump into a standing split hooking the back of their leg as you reach with your free arm. The advantage of this is you aren't bent over to catch the top of the foot and you don't have to break their posture, your level change into the split will take care of that.


some counters to all this:

•lift their near leg and push into the far corner, against their heel. Just bowl them over.

•Bodok back throw: single-leg squat and extend the other leg directly perpendicular to their centerline. Look to the back corner as you hit the mat.

•then we did the same Bodok setup as a way to turn over the turtle. We've done it before where you press the extended leg into their hip and pull them over that way. This variant is you have a wizzer-hold on the arm and you go the other direction: squatting leg@head and roll them that way-pressing hard with your locked arm. Turnout into an almost-lunge as you look thru.

fun:

•then we did in&out to uppercut/hook, start the wizzer to break posture then step slightly out and turn in for a punch (we used focus mitts ok?). Make sure the footwork is good, it matters more than a solid punch. Use a box-step-pattern to train this on your own.
