MMA and me; day 228

Wow, almost a week off from the gym, but no more! The next couple of months are going to be chock full of busting my ass, so here we go. Made my way over to Alderwood MMA yesterday, and it was arm triangles for days. We drilled the ones we have done before; arm triangle from mount, back mount, head mount from kimura, and we added a new one, from inside the guard. Push one of their arms across their chest, and quickly swim your other arm under it and behind their head, and lock up a rear naked choke grip. Open your guard, and shrimp your hips out to the side opposite the side your hands are on, keeping your bottom leg flat to the ground. Chop your bottom leg into their legs to sweep them to their back and transition their grip from the RNC, to the monkey grip, and voila, arm triangle. Once you get to the arm triangle position, (and this goes for all of them) don't fidget and adjust. Simply keep your far elbow down on the mat, and pull your weight over them. Fun class, and had a good roll with coach afterward, and I am very much looking forward to my upcoming tournaments!!!
