Ass whupped. Mission Accomplished. Was the Nail. Again.

Purple Rick showed the Ricoplata. Sneaky sneaky Armbar escape re-counter from Closed Guard.
1. Normal armbar, but not tight and RNC grip defends, then pulls right arm out.
2. So underhook his left arm, push hand between my legs. Trap his arm by putting my right hand on my left thigh, and keeping the armbar setup with the legs tight over his head.
3. Either underhook his other arm with my left or hip to right to get the shoulder lock.

Brown Vince showed:
I. Takedown, as counter to outside trip ... just turn, steer him.

II. Single Leg, Double Leg, Single drills.

III. Simple Turtle Turn/Tip.
 a. blocking the elbow or knee and grabbing back leg and pushing/tipping to Side.

IV. Turtle Turn/Roll 2.
a. Tight. Can't get any hooks in. Then get hook behind him, one of his legs. ie my right leg behind and between his legs.
b. push out his near hand, and he'll come back and whizzer me...then dive under and grab far knee and roll and come up in Side.

V. Side ESC - when he has underhook, and tight.
 a. grab at his shoulder and pull down to relieve pressure on the crossface.
 b. hip away a little, and he'll follow, get on my hip away from him ... Reach for the sky with my right near hand through his armpit and roll him over.

Black Chris showed a Scissor Sweep fail to Triangle. But with a couple of key details.
a. from Closed Guard, double wrist sleeve grip ... open Guard and get on my left hip.
b. Try Scissor Sweep with my left leg open, right knee across his stomach but right over his left arm.
c. Pull his right arm with my left hand as I shoot my right leg over his other hand and over his head and lock my legs.
d. my right hand goes around my right knee and link hands over his head -- this is posture control so he can't posture back up.
e. Then my left hand grabs my right ankle, left leg on his hip to hip out and adjust and lock and tighten the Triangle.
f. Finish: squeeze my thighs together, get his arm across, lift hip, pull head down.
