MMA and me; day 262

SO we went back to work on the same triangle entry we worked on last Thursday, but we expanded on it. The first addition we worked on, was adding a reverse triangle on to the end. So if you're just not getting the finish with the triangle, switch on to your left hip, and reverse your legs. From here, squeeze your knees together and pull down on the head for the finish. From the reverse triangle, you can also attack their arm that is stuck in with their head with cutting arm bars, kimuras, you can transition back to a regular triangle, you can go for an omoplata, there are a TON of options! I also played around a bit with attempting a kimura from the under hook of their arm when you pull it through. As their arm clears your leg, pull your left arm over and through the gap, while sliding your grip from palm to palm, to left hand on right wrist. As you pull it through, grab their left wrist, and X your legs across their back. From here, all you have to do is finish the kimura. Your legs prevent them from rolling to their back and defending, and your hands were together the whole time, so the grip is very difficult to disrupt.

Lastly, we incorporated a kind of muscle lock, into the beginning of the series. As you create the space, dive the under hook in, and trap their arm. Instead of trying to pull the arm through, lift your right leg up, put your boot on, and drop your heel down as far across their back as possible. By leg pressing with your right, and pulling into the arm pit/inside of their arm with your clasped hands, you can get a nasty muscle slicer, and can elicit a tap before even transitioning to the cutting arm bar or triangle, very nifty!

Very fun classes as always, and I'm excited to get back in to the gym tonight! Taking the rest of the week off after today, but I am going to be back in full time next week for the next month plus!
