Ian started us off with a Clock Choke. We actually did this last lesson too but as I haven't typed that up yet I'll go through it here. You've got your opponent turtled up to your right with you resting across his back. You reach under his neck from the nearside with your left hand and take a deep grip of his right collar. Reach over the top with your right arm and pass your hand under his arm to take a secure grip of his right wrist, holding it in place. Now finish the choke by kicking forward with your nearside (right) leg and leaning back as you go. To make the choke tighter you can angle to 1 o clock with the kick forward.
Next up was a counter to the clock choke set up. In fact you could use this as a counter to someone attacking your turtle in general if they put the arm over. So starting from the opponent laying over you with the collar grip, reaching for your wrist. You pull his reaching arm into your chest. You then move your legs away from him slightly so you can get your head positioned near his stomach while you pull your left arm out and grab his pant leg at the ankle. You now have the leverage to turn the guy over the top of you, flipping him onto his back, with you carrying on the roll to land beautifully in side control top. Very nice move.
We then moved on to the Anaconda Choke from Single Leg Takedown Defence. First off he showed it from if the opponent is attempting to single leg your right leg from Turtle. You've sprawled to defend and managed to pass your right arm between his head and shoulder to reach under across the chest and grab him at the arm pit on the other side of his body. You can then rest your weight on his back and kick the leg leg he has secured hard backwards to break his grip, continuing the downward pressure so his arms are stretched out. From there you can push your right arm further through to close your other arm around that hand. You now rest your head off to the left of him (his right) and barrel roll off left. As you roll the opponent will roll with you, taking him over your head to land off to the side in an arm in guillotine position. Then you can close your body in toward your opponent by balling up and wrapping the top leg over for the tight choke finish.
The last move was a counter to the Anaconda set up. When he gets to the sprawl by kicking his leg out, you pull his arm in to your chest. Then posture your head up into opponents right hip and sit through with your right leg to turn the guy over. If he's sensible he'll roll and you'll get side control. If not he ends with his arm in a hammer lock position. A nice finish to a really good class.
All that was left was to take some class photos, one of which you see above.
I've been having a good run of training in the week too at the moment so Bjj life = good for Marty. ¬m/
