WU & Stretch

Partner WU:
1. Pendiluim Sweep - Open hips, calf in arm pit and good motion to land in mount.
2. As he goes to push you off at your collar, hug arm keeping his arm in your elbow, turn to the opposite side of his trapped arm. Move knee across his face and put your shoulder to the mat so you are facing his feet.
3. As he rolls backwards to get out of the armbar, keep holding arm and quickly move your foot from behind his head to over to finish as normal.

Tech:
Half Guard escape to north/south
1. As you are in half guard and he has the under hook, shift your body towards his legs. Pin his arm and elbow to his body under your arm pit and grab his belt to hold position.
2. Switch you hips and move you bum to the mat, ensure that his had is not under you.
3. Grab his knee and shuffle your trapped leg out, have patience and dont lost position. Pull your other leg in and use your knee to open a gap and pull leg out. Do the pull (leg and hand on pants) and push (Knee) at the same time.
4. As the leg is out, pin hips with move to N/S position.

Half Guard escape to opposite side control.
1. As you are in half guard and he has the under hook, shift your body towards his legs. If you dont have a strong position and he is in tight, move across him to the far side. Your top arm posts to the mat as your turn over him, your free leg goes behind you to keep balance and pressure to stop him turning in.
2. As you do, keep your top arm close to the body as you dont want to give away the underhook.
3. Get the underhook and graps your other hand (usual side control grips).
4. Keep bum on the mat, push back and keep pressure. Wriggle your leg as free as possible from the half guard.
5. Use free leg to push his lower leg to increase the gap to remove the leg. As you do, turn to side control and stop his hips with your knee.

Comments:
Everyone is going at 200mph at the minute, need to get back into it. Fitness is a key to this too. Rolled with Darragh O Conaill today, very smooth indeed!
