Coach: Justin

Partner: Don

We did open guard passes from the top(bottom has a foot on hip and behind knee), X Pass:

1. X pass , right hand on their left hip
2. Push the legs to the right
3. Swing right leg around their leg and feet
4. Step in
5. Knee goes on sternum/ diaphragm

Same pass but with a knee cut(bottom has foot on hip and behind knee):

1. Right hand on left hip
2. They tangle leg up when you try to x pass
3. Cut knee down to mat 
4. Pummel to get underhook with right arm, if you can’t get this hook, grab their pant and pull it toward ground and then go to slide
5. Baseball slide and scoop the right arm
6. Turn and put knees one under their armpit and another near their hip

Passing their open(bottom has feet on hips):

1. Grab their knee fabric
2. Step left foot to their right side
3. Put left knee down
4. Ram the left shoulder into their chest center
5. Get side control hooks

We rolled at the end for about 10 minutes, 2.5 minutes in each position.

We went light. Each roll was with Don.

Roll 1: I was top, I tried to knee cut pass and Don got knees up and it was a struggle to get underhook. I ended up just getting the side control.

Roll 2: I did the feet down and shoulder ram pass, I think it didn’t really work well.

Roll 3: I was on bottom, he did x pass and got to side control quickly

Roll 4: He did the same.

Roll 5: We had a roll where I was open and got a pigeon sweep (knees together hands on his heels and push)

Roll 6: I tried an X pass and we got mushed up and struggled for grips on the gis, tiring us both out.

One thing I hit successfully: A pigeon foot/legs, grabbing his heels and pushing him over from my open position.

One thing that failed: X pass with no hand on hip for control also the shoulder drive pass because I didn’t have hand on his hip.

One thing I will try next class: I will try to make sure I have a hand on their hip, and ask the coach what to do when they are denying this hand on hip.
