Cassio Werneck BJJ - Sacramento CA - Cassio Werneck
Worked more reactions to people turtling. This time we covered the arm between the legs attacks.
Opponent is on their left side rolling towards you to turtle. You keep good pressure as they roll and slide their near side arm between your legs as they come to their knees. Their arm should be bent towards their feet. With your hps pressing down you straighten out their arm across the back of your calf. Their wrist should be on the back of your leg. From here you can left your left hip slightly and get the tap. Totally a finesse and feel move. I used to really struggle with this one, and still do to my right side. If they happen to bend their arm forward you can turn your body forward a bit, grab their wrist and pull it up for the shoulder lock. You could also pass their hand to your other leg by sliding your calf beneath the other.
The second technique was a response to someone protecting their arm by grabbing their belt. Little bit acrobatic. Once they have come up to their knees and grabbed their belt (their arm wrapped around your leg). You should be parallel to them. Take your arm nearest to them and drive it down and across their body. Then roll over that same shoulder. They MUST follow your roll or their going to seriously jack up their shoulder. That arm you stuck through is now very important as it will be preventing them from coming up and over you. Finally from here sit up in a sort of a reverse omaplata.
Rolled:
rolled three 8 or 9(?) min rounds
(wb that always calls me sir, punk ;) ), rest, rest, Brian, John
Rolling was good. Was able to switch to DLR guard when Brian and John stood up in my guard. Swept with varying degree of success. I really need to figure out how to recover guard when John passes. I didn't recover once.

2009-01-24 Saturday AM BJJ Class
Cassio Werneck BJ - Sacramento CA - Dan
Good sized class today. A lot of people in attendance, even with Cassio and Hilza still gone on vacation.
Dan showed the same series that he covered on Wednesday. Three submissions from side control using the gi bottom to trap the opponents far side arm.
From side control with a deep cross face your opponent has their far hand up and in your neck trying to make space. Get the cross face deep enough that you grip the far shoulder. Now you pull the opponents far side lapel out of their belt. Now instead of wrapping the lapel bottom up behind their arm and shoulder you take it up and over their far side arm, aiming for the spot half way between the elbow and the wrist and pass the lapel end to your other hand. Now their far arm is pinned pretty tight to their body. Suks for them. Now it's just a matter of reaching in with the available hand and grabbing that lapel in a baseball grip. Go knee on stomach at the same time. To finish the choke be sure that you are NOT pulling the arm up that is behind their head, instead drop the sholder that is away from their head towards their stomach and try to connect your elbows. basically a baseball choke.
Second step is just funny mean. to get the previous technique you need to thread your far side are under their chin to get the baseball grip. Well, one way for they to prevent you from doing that very thing is to make a fist with the pinned arm and cram it up against their own neck, effectively barring you from getting the grip you need. Well don't give up that grip just yet. With their arm pinned and their fist place against their own throat you just reach up with the far arm and grab their elbow. Then apply pressure inline with their arm and fist, effectivly pressing their fist right into their carotid artery. Make sure you don't start telling them to "stop punching themselves" that just wouldn't be nice...
The last version is the response to them getting their arm out. Your still in side control and now your holding their lapel bottom with the hand behind their head. There should be a loop of lapel where their arm used to be. Keep holding that loop, and take your other hand and slide it into it, your hand should be pointing towards their head, not away from it. Keep sliding your hand up until the blade of your hand is conveniently resting against their carotid artery. Now scissor your arms together and you'll have one tapping partner.
Rolled 3, 6 or 7 min rounds
Rest - Ceasar - Damien - Rest - Brennan
Rolling felt ok today. Caught Ceasar for the first time. Tried working from my closed guard as usual. I was not having much luck sweeping or attacking. We ended up back to neutral. I tried passing and he turtled up. I scrambled to his back and managed to sink a grip on his far side collar. I only had one hook in and thought he might get out. After that he proceeded to smash my guard and move from kimura to armbar. Good technical submissions. I was pretty stuck. Later he passed me again and got me in side control. I have never had pressure from side control like that before. I now know why it was called 100 kilo position. I was getting a little panicky. Much suckage.
Rolling with Damien was good. He's been gone a long time it's great to see him back in. He fought off a tringle I had sunk pretty deep. I'm still not ver comfortable with that, I always feel like the guy can just pull out.
I havn't rolled with Brennan in months. I had to be much more careful. He removed the uber easy holes. And with him being so frikin huge I make a mistake and I'm stacked on my head. Always fun.
