Gary Pond what about the plastic bag choke?

Did you miss last week with our saddle attacks in advanced gi? Well you are in luck.This week we are covering some defense from the saddle so you'll know what to do as your partners attack. 

No better time than Wednesday to train especially if you need to break in a new belt!

I feel like I was a victim of this a time or 2.

Daniel Bianchi hmmm....the one linked below ??? 😂 

Fun fact, first submission I ever hit while rolling.

I'm sure not a surprise to any of my partners but the triangle choke. I didn't even learn it in a class, just a training partner showing me an extra move.

Saddle, cross ashi, 4-11, or honey hole. Do you know the difference? Is there a difference?

Come at 8PM on Wednesday to advanced gi to find out!

This week advanced gi will transition back to looking at leg locks. We will take the first week to reintroduce a drill, the concept of being inside, and reexamine a few entries we have seen in previous segments. 

The leg lock blocks have been popular in the past, let make this one even better together!

Bottom half guard. It is the one position that no matter how I have approached it, nothing ever sticks. I've made several attempts over the last 9 or 10 years and it is like in one ear and then out of the other.

Have a good bottom half? I'm all ears.

Advanced gi will continue using the spider lasso but shifting our focus to the sweeps. We uncovered a lot of details last week. 

Class is the day before Halloween, no better time to work SPIDER guard!!!
