Teacher: Allie

Partner: Don

From side guard bottom position

1. The top person has under hook and a hand around the head. Bump them using your arms and legs.
2. Post the frame with the left hand on their shoulder and push them with the right hand on their hip or bicep.
3. Get the left knee on their chest or mid section, find the sweet spot so they cant go over or around it. 
4. Hands on their left shoulder and left bicep
5. Push and make space
6. Bring the right foot out of half guard onto their hip and push away and escape or bring it around to a closed guard position.

We added variation from the knee on mid section part:

1. Put my left leg over their right leg and hold it there
2. Get the knee up and frames
3. Shoot to their belly with left ear and grab the leg or bump their butt forward offsetting 

them.

More variation:

1. Clamp my shin and foot on their right leg when I am bottom on half guard
2. Get the knee up with frame
3. Put left foot between their legs and under hook both of their arms
4. Bring right foot up to their thigh , now both feet are in position
5. Push them away and lean head forward over my hips

At the end we did one top one bottom for 5 minutes and switched roles for another 5 minutes, 60% power on bottom and 40% from top.

I had issues bumping my teammate Don, he has a very strong upper body. I tried to get my left hand to his neck/ shoulder and he ended up pulling up and trying to get around half guard. I clamped his leg down so he couldn’t do it and we just struggled until he got side control. 

Another roll we did , I got a closed guard with the knee and frames trick. 

When we switched roles, I pretty much just put weight down on him and tried to give him some trouble. One time I baseball slid to side control. His leg was trapping me in side control and if I picked my right arm up under grip then he would shoot his left arm to my neck and he would inch his way out of my control.
