Thursday Lunch Class Technique

Today Cobrinha showed us a variation on choking from the back, the "Zipper" choke.

- Cobrinha take's Vlad's back. He has his right hand on Vlad's far collar, and his left hand on the opposite lapel. Cobrinha gives the lapel a slight twist in order to get a much better grip.






- As Vlad tries to twist out Cobrinha posts on his right foot.








- Cobrinha maintains his lapel grips and moves his right foot under Vlads right thigh driving Vlad the left.







- As Cobrinha takes Vlad to the left Cobrinha slides his left leg out and drives it towards Vlad's head. Cobrinha drives his left leg into Vlad's stomach. To finish the choke Cobrinha pulls back from his left elbow, pushes down with his right hand, and keeps his head an bicep as close to Vlad's head as possible.

Tuesday Night Class

Today's class followed a different structure. While Cobrinha was finishing up with the Beginners class DJ led the warm up. Once Cobrinha took over we began "Flow Training." Everyone started in Omaplata and threw together as many combination as we could think of. Cobrinha walked the room correcting technique and offering ideas as to what we should be looking for. When I asked Cobrinha about the class he said this type of training helps to train your muscle memory with positions as well as linking your submissions if your opponent escapes the first attempt.
Overall it was an really interesting class and a welcomed break from the beating we took yesterday :)

Things got pretty creative:




Joey Armbar on Jamanta








Ian Omaplata to Toe Hold








I don't know???

Tuesday Lunch Class

Today we did a series of drills for warm-ups. We did not do a technique specific section of class. Rather, we did our new techniques in drill form. We focused on maintaining knee on belly, passing the guard, and defending the omoplata.

Today Ian McPherson shows us a choke from the opponent's turtle.

- Mr. Jim is turtled, and being a good son Ian reaches across his neck to the far lapel.







- Ian maintains his grip on the far lapel and prepares to drive his left leg all the way through to Mr. Jim's far hip.







- Ian drives his leg through, and stats pulling Mr. Jim back and to Mr. Jim's left.







- Ian maintains his grip and prepares to bring his right foot to Mr. Jim's right shoulder.







- Ian finishes the choke by cranking down with his right foot, pushing up with his right knee, and hooking Mr. Jim's left leg with the free left hand.
