What we did in class today

New techniques for various belt levels:

Purple: Rear naked choke escape: Tilt opposite shoulder sharply. Turn into them (away from the hand clasps). With other hand, feel for notch below jaw and push. End up with compress elbow or armbar.

Green (I think): The short side by side from an armbar [to spin to the knee] brush, grab, strike--armbar. Place top hand in the crease of their arm and keep a good grasp on wrist pressure points. Bend their arm back to do takedown. Turn (toward them?) and pull their arm, thumb down, to spin to the knee.

Hi Green: Sweep and reap takedown. Sweep: From the four angled blocking drill thingy. Block (high) and instantly grab lung 5, inner upper above elbow. Slap other hand on on 'v' body cavity notch and slide down, pressing into pressure point on collar bone too. Step far foot behind them. Grabbing those pressure points, kick near leg like a fig 8 (or hook kick) out and then into leg to buckle it.

Reap: 1: Grab same pressure points as above. Step far leg behind. Step near leg in front of their outside foot while making a 'sandiching motion' arms to 'crunch them'. Step 3: Far foot hooks and buckle their leg, either at the knee or ankle.

Brown 3rd: Double leg takedown to the mount with lying down armbar: Shoot in, not on knees. Bend, hook both legs (?) by the knees and bump your shoulder to one side. Climb to mount. They put a hand up. Hug it. Raise up on foot to the side you intend to spin. Kick leg over and armbar.

Mount Escape: Hook one foot. Kick other foot like a crescent kick and roll them over. Try to end up on their leg. When they roll, turn the other way and exit quickly.
