Turtle to Re-Guard Drill (add to drill list).
1. I turtle to prevent Pass, he's over my right shoulder 3 o'clock.
2. I push into him with my right shoulder to create a little space, shoot my right hand under my left armpit.
3. Shoulder roll and get him in my Guard.
Tech - Ankle Riva/Gi wrap Guard (review from last class)
1. Left ankle inside of his right ankle; Sit up and gi grip around that right leg; right leg on his left hip or thigh and stretch him; my right hand pulls down on his collar.
2. If he bases up, dive under and go Deep Half and come out the back and ankle/knee tap takedown.
Rolling with Black Chris (owner/instructor) -- obvious but he's a few steps ahead of me. He has a grip, I break grip but was surprised that he didn't fight it. He just let go and moved on quickly to the next step -- which I was not ready for.
Rolling with a strong White Belt - bump sweep fail, kimura fail. But realized much later I have to start putting Ryan Hall's Bump to Triangle into my toolbox. And here's also two shorter versions.

Blue, Two Stripes - Taps 765
Taps: 3. Total: 765 -- and received my Second Stripe on my Blue Belt.
Tech -- all Half Guard Sweep Series.
I. (w/ Underhook), Foot Grab Sweep 1.
1. Prevent crossface by having my right hand on his left biceps; left hand has underhook and grabbing his belt at his back. Dive between his legs and grab foot of his free leg (left).
2. Swing my legs with his trapped leg over to the left, bringing him over me, and passing his foot from my right hand to my left; and my right hand cups under his knee, taking out his base.
3. Right leg still has his leg trapped; bridge with my left leg over to the right.
4. Sweep, then keep moving toward his head, tight grip on his leg with my legs, then kick my leg free, then put knee into his hip, keeping my butt low. Cross face with left hand for the Side Control.
II. w/ Underhook - the other direction.
III. Deep Half Sweep w/ frame.
1. My right hand prevents crossface, my left is on his shoulder across his neck preventing the underhook.
2. Dive between his legs again with my right hand, my left hand over his left thigh and link hands behind his butt.
3. Swing my hips over to the left bringing him over me and making him post his hands on the mat.
4. He should move back and into my Deep Half. Trap his top hand onto his trapped leg and turn into him for the sweep.
IV. Same but he bases and Sweep the other way.
Bonus: Omoplata Esc -- Black Chris cheekily showed a crawl under the leg escape. But the inspiring moment was when the Brown Belt was showing Black Chris a different cool Omoplata escape, and he was actually trying to learn it. He was still trying to learn at his stage in his BJJ career. He looked awkward as any White Belt trying his first move, but he tried it over and over again. Very motivating and inspiring!
The escape, by the way, was post your near leg up, shoot your arm under to roll over your shoulder and come up in his Guard. Wished I had brought my iPad to video it.
They need to come up with a name for it, too!
Homework -- drill.
1. Closed Guard - attacks from bottom. Pendulum Sweep.
2. Closed Guard breaks (top). Scully and Lovato.
3. Tozi Pass -- how to keep him from moving? Sit on his hip.

If bottom, roll under for a Hotdog roll, but take his back. Have to look at Keenan/Avelan's version. Slightly different.

Taps: 757
Taps: 2. Total: 757.
Tech. DLR to Back Take.
Brown Vince showed:
1. Simple Takedown -- Same side collar grip, other hand goes to opposite foot/knee pants grip and push with the collar grip.
2. Nasty Knee on middle/chest Pass. Where I just sit there with the knee pressure, and Pass depending which way he moves. A) He scrimps -- go to Knee Cut Pass; B) he goes flat -- get my Knee to mat on other side and go to Mount.
But it's a miserable place to be on bottom of this; you pray for the guy to move or pass or do something. Guess that's the beauty of this move.
Misc: I love it when a White Belt tries a Hagid Choke, then tries to Berimbolo me. Okay, time to YouTube some Berimbolo Counters. Purple Ivan has been doing it to me a bunch of times, which I don't mind, but I think he showed it to White Brandon -- the same who choked out Purple Chris with the Hagid.
Need to Respect and Deal with the Cross Collar Grip. Deal with it before the Pass. Before the Pass. Previously, got Guillotined by Black Joel. Today, got pushed over and then a Loop Choke.
Purple Izzy showed me his Simple Half Guard Sweep. Just grap the free leg and keep it from coming close. Then clothesline with the other hand against his face as I bridge. The free leg is the different than what Kesting says.

Here is Caio's Collar Drag. He grabs the arm and kicks out the other leg. Arm Drag and Collar Drag. Have to add to toolbox.
Been tinkering, thinking: Blue Brian has a variation of the Hip Bump Sweep. He grabs a sleeve/wrist grip and pulls that as he bumps. I'm thinking I'll use that off a Failed Reverse Scissor Sweep, since I already have the sleeve grip. I just have to the same side as the Reverse Scissor Sweep, and away from my normal Hip Bump to the left.
And I need to add Flower Sweep. And drill the Reverse Scissor the other way.

Mendes Spider Pass Breakdown
Blue Brian has been really giving me problems with his Spider Guard. I have been having a hard time clearing one side of his Leg on my bicep and his sleeve grip on my same side. Time to revisit, review a Spider Pass.
Rafael Mendes Spider Guard Pass.
General tips: 1. Get off knee; 2. Don't move forward.
1. Posture: lower hips, like squat, close elbows, and step back (get him off his back, on his butt -- that lessens power of his feet.)
2. Choose a side. Example: to Left, clearing his right leg -- to clear his foot and hand grips, Circle my left hand under his leg. Then stretch, straighten my arm and grab his pants at the knee.
3. Take a step to the Right, while my right hand Drags his other leg to the left.
4. Then come Back to the Left (walk towards his hips), my left leg under both is legs. Put shoulder pressure on his top knee.
5. My left hand -- switch from pants knee to far, same side collar grip, to keep him close and flat.
6. Right hand goes under his head (cross face), grabs his gi at shoulder.
7. Move towards his head, my right knee under his arm, my elbow on top of my thigh to secure Side Control.
