Side to Back Series.

Awesome class format. Technique, then drill, then one-minute drills. Then next part of the Series. Repeat.

Tech. 1 -- From Side, Bottom Guy shrimps and turns into you.
  a. Left arm, elbow in crook and swing right leg behind his head and get behind him, get my chest heavy on his shoulder. Get Seatbelt grip.

Tech 2 -- Same reaction.
  b. my right hand grips his top leg and presses down as I hop over his legs and come up behind him.

Tech. 3 - KoB, same reaction.
  a. step over with left leg, Knee of his back.
  b. He turtles, my left leg circles over his head, counterclockwise, and I sit on his back, and get Seatbelt, and fall to side, getting his back.

Tech 4 -- from S Mount, and Seatbelt.
  a. bottom hand feeds collar to top hand, cinch it tight.
  b. Turn him over to my left, make sure I get the bottom hook in, top leg hangs out on his hip.
  c. My face close to his, and I have the choke grips. I push down on his hip with my top leg, creating space, and get that leg over his top arm, trapping it, and now I can finish the choke easily.

Bonus: Passing tip.
1. Get knee grips, stand up, step back to get his legs stapled to mat, go to the right, and drop my shoulder.

So -- Get Grips. Stand up.

Mild Success: Tails sweep. I can't get left hand grip, but if they have a Kimura on me on that hand, it's like I have a grip, and can still do the Sweep.

Fail: Tanquino Sweep.
Fail: Roleta Sweep.

Also, been thinking about ...

a. Closed Guard - Reverse Scissor grip leads to an Armdrag on that side.
b. Armdrag with two-on-one, and if he pulls back go to Roy Dean's two-on-on Scissor Sweep.

Been practicing rolls in preparation for Berimbolo. Haven't had the guts to actually try it. Should actually drill it some.
