MMA and me; day 159

Another Wednesday meant a day at AMMA, and working more grappling. We started with army crawls, and then worked our shrimping drills. We moved on to shoulder rolls, front and back rolls, and sit outs. We then worked with a partner on the sit out drills on sprawled opponents. First, if your opponent sprawls, you sit out (for this drill, we sat out to the left) and drive your right knee into the mat, as you swing your left leg way around behind them to sink the hook on the far side. Maintaining your momentum, you use your weight to continue rolling to your back, pulling them over the top of you, so you can sink in your other hook for back control. The second drill, you start with the sit out, and grab the back of their tricep as it hangs over your left shoulder (their right arm). Switching your hips, throw your right leg over the left, and your right arm over the back of their neck, and as you spin, continue driving your arm under their chin, and grab your left bicep. From there, roll towards your hands, rolling them over your body, walk your hips towards their body, and hook their top leg with your top leg, putting your foot flat on the ground. From there, place your right ear on their shoulder, expand your chest, and arch you back until they tap. Fun stuff, and we all got treated to an outstanding, impromptu MMA match between two of our gymmates. Both guys put it all out there, and it was a treat to behold. Cheers to them both!
