MMA and me; day 286/287

So I only had one class last week, since we as a gym were really focusing on getting two of our fighters ready for their fights on Saturday. They both won in dominating fashion, ad a big congratulations to both Batman and Jeremie! On Tuesday, we worked our technique drills as usual, and then went to work on a new choke, the bow and arrow. From back control, with the usual over under grip, using your over hook, grab the far lapel, and release your under hook to post up behind you. Using the post, start to shrimp your hips away from the over hook, until you are almost completely out to the side. From here, roll back slightly, and kick your leg that is behind them, around and over their head, until the bottom of your hamstring is pressing against the side of their face. From here, you want to get a push pull action with your grip on their lapel, and your leg. If you keep them slightly elevated, you can get full pressure with your leg, while pulling with your grip, until they tap. If they flatten out completely on their back, you will have a harder time finishing the submission, so try to keep them in a semi reclined position while you work the push/pull.

Thursday was a lot of straight rolling, helping the fighters, and working with a couple new guys, but no official class. Can't wait for tonight, and I hope to see some new faces!
