Notes: Half Guard - Tripod Pass

source: Rener and Ryron (Gracie University).


V1.
1. Underhook right side and under his head left side and link hands.
2. My head right of his head. (I always had it on the other side).
3. Stay tight and low, a bit of cross face.
4. Left knee flared out a little for base, right knee also tucked in (to prevent Lockdown).
5. Pop up, get right knee right down middle of his stomach. Soon as knee is cleared, knee cut/knee slide across to the left.

** as needed: pick up his elbow

V2. Ankle gets caught in 1/4 Guard.
1. Pick up his elbow.
2. Get my toes out and under his top leg as my left foot kicks his top knee to clear.

Triggers:
1. I can initiate any time or
2. Wait til he tries to Recover Guard.

V2 - Hook Backup (he's pinching tight)
1. Left, free foot -- foot to my butt and out, into the gap
2. And downward pressure, and keep his legs down, then Tripod and get right foot out, by Knee Cut.

LockDown Release
*Chill. Stabilize position (as in all positions).
1. Hook in, sit on it to pin his knee to mat.
2. Release foot.
3. Tripod up and go.

And they took away the lesson before I was able to watch the drills.
