MMA and me; day 240

Back in the gym on Monday ( I know it's Thursday now, we'll get caught up by the end of the day, YEESH!) and we were back at the triangle. Actually, first we talked at length about the tournament over the weekend, how everyone did, and how we were improving as a team. We then go into a new triangle entry, from side control or high judo. Press down on the far side arm  and try to separate their hands. If they're not coming apart, use your top side knee to press down on their near side bicep and pin it under your shin. Take care not to get your hips too high, or you'll get rolled over. From here, step the same leg, all the way over their head, and tuck your heel into the crook of their neck and shoulder. Adjust your chest so your head is closer to their hip, as opposed to perpendicular to their chest, and slide your leg under their head. It's important to make sure you adjusted your chest, and that the heel was as tight in to their neck/shoulder, or your leg will slide off the back of their head. As it gets in tight, lock your other leg's knee pit over the ankle of the leg under the head, put your boots on, and squeeze your knees together until they tap. You also have their far side arm to work with for kimuras, muscle locks, straight arm locks. You also can work with their near side arm for an arm bar if you didn't manage to separate their hands. You keep it pinned against your chest with a rear naked choke grip, and as you lean over their body, arch your back, until they tap.

It was a nice relaxing class, with a new entry for the triangle, and reflecting on the weekend. Can't wait for Seth, Speedy, and Walid's fights this weekend, going to be great!
