White Belt - Don'ts / Tues, Aug. 16, 2011

Sitting in Guard / White Belt Don'ts (Review)
1. Collar choke. Why: Leads to Arm bar - Bottom guy will: a. control choking arms; b. foot on your hip, rotate; c. get his leg over.
2. Put hands on mat. Why: Leads to either kimura or hip bump sweep.
3. Reach behind and try to break guard. Why: Leads to Triangle. Good tip: swivel/rotate your hips to direction his trapped arm is pointing. Good way to remember.

Back Attack - Don't (Review).
1. Cross your ankles. Why: Leads to Ankle Lock -- he will: a. same side as top leg, get that leg over; b. triangle with other leg; c. fall to top leg side; d. finish by squeezing knees and legs down.

Back Attack Escape - one hand has collar/choke grip
1. Both hands grab his choking hand, one hand on his hand, other on his arm.
2. Fall to side his hand is pointing.
3. Hand that was on his arm (one close to his body), release and control his knee (grip pants at the knee) -- this prevents him from transitioning to Mount.
4. Hip escape out to Side Control.

Taps: 1. Total: 169. Purple Chris got me in Triangle and transitioned it to arm bar.

Need to Review:
1. Triangle and arm bar Escapes. (also remember to transition from one escape to the other.) Got caught in a few triangles. Didn't tap but didn't cleanly escape either.
2. Turtle Attacks.
3. Spider Guard Defenses.
4. Half Guard Attacks
5. Side Control Attacks.
6. Sit out.

Actually getting to top position now and then and it's such a novel situation, I don't have a good plan of attack.

Also could do with more Side and Half Guard Escapes.

Need to also think about Stringing Moves Together. I Scissor Swept a huge White belt, but he was able to push me back into Guard. That's when I could have Hip Bump Swept him the other direction. Or when I tried the Scissor, he was leaning forward to counter and I had chokes available. Something to think about.
