Side of D’arce?

21 Dec
  • Beginning in kata gatame top on to opp’s right, if opp makes frame to push face away, allow him to, then catch wrist with left hand using palm-down grip.
  • Pull wrist towards you and down, while bringing free hand inside [arm ideally should be across opp’s face or under chin].
  • Dive right arm through under opp’s head, and catch head with hand.
  • At this point, let your head be attached to opp’s to maintain control, keep tight, and come to knees.
  • Once in desired position, bring left hand to side of opp’s head, grab left bicep with right hand. Be sure to use left hand to hold opp’s lay muscle or ribs to further secure position
  • Sprawl and drop chest, while squeezing to secure submission.

Roll-to-back

12 Nov

Move #1

Start in side-control, bottom, in headlock position

Make frame with hands and arms to create space by pushing opp face away.

Bridge hips up (think of making his head touch the mat). Bring hand to opp shoulder and bridge, using opp momentum to roll over.

Establish side control, post hand next to opp far hip, switch my hips, bring leg over. Make frame again to break headlock, keeping left hand pushing opp face down, take opp arm in right hand/arm, fall back for armbar sub.
