BB Chris ...

Torreado Drill > KoB>Double KoB, both hands on his knees>Back Step Mount

Side Control Drill ... he turns in or gets Underhook, Elbow down, back step to other side.

and I'm thinking about Cobrinha's Drill. These two should be my bread and butter for Side Control Maintenance.

* Pulling Far Elbow up and my elbow across his Chest.

Side to Mount Transitions:

I. from Tues / from Reverse Kesa - Step over bind the far thigh

II. if he puts near Knee up (foot on far knee), PUSH knee down to far side of mat, when he comes back, step over into Mount

III. if he puts far Knee up (far foot on near knee), PULL that knee close to me, down to mat, Step over into Mount.

IV. if he puts BOTH knees up, the grab my own foot, and poke/snake it through to Mount.

Also like the Ninja Mount Entries.

Armbar Breaks from Spider Web / need to master these two.

I. Switch to Farside Armbar

 BB Chris' version had a couple of different details:
   1. like the vid he gathers up the far elbow with the bottom arm, then switches to the top arm: top arm weaves inside out to the far elbow.
   2. bottom arm grabs far knee, and lift up to S Mount and Swivels into Armbar.

II. Armbar Break, Near Arm
 1. this time, bottom hand goes under to attack the arm;
 2. top hand pushes his elbow into my armpit, so my elbow is right on top of his elbow and torques his elbow away from me but his hand/wrist is coming towards me.
 3. Bottom hand gets under the WRIST of my arm i'm attacking; my top hand Kimura grips his hand, leans in towards his hand for the Break.

DLR to Omoplata to Lift off Omoplata from Tues.

Bonus: Turtle Turnover to Back Take.
 1. in KoB position, right knee against his hip and on mat, left leg based out wide against his Turtle.
 2. Right hand reaches over his hip and grabs his near gi at the bottom (his stomach level); left hand grabs his gi at near elbow.
 3. Switch my base, get my left ankle over his near ankle as i pull with right hand and my left hand punches forward on his elbow grip, turning him over and taking the Back and get my hooks in and choking hand across his neck.

Simple. Easy. i've forgotten about this. Need to put in back into Top Shelf of my Toolbox.

Rolling notes: only 2 taps? Hmmmn. Almost a third, but saved by bell.
 I thought i was going easy and didn't roll that much but actually ...
 1. Brn Gilles ... light roll.
 2. Brn Freddy (tap)
 3. BB Steve
 4. WB Jamie
 5. Blue Shane, or some other lower belt
 6. Brn Chris (tap)
 7, Brn Jason

So i rolled with all four Brown Belts and one BB.

Closed Guard -- got to High Guard using the Lapel. Could not get Armbar. Forgot about the Flower Sweep. Maybe try Hip Bump?

Also, Brabo series - Cavaca and Beleza.

Closed Guard, he stands ... hard time with Omoplata Sweep, try transitioning to X Guard.
