Today, we worked on an arm bar , omoplata setup and leg triangles.
Starting on bottom go for arm bar
- Lock legs behind their head pulling head down and one arm to attack
- Switch hands on head and grab arm with other hand
- Push head under the outside leg
- Push them down for full armbar or from that position pull arm tight and bend towards pinky.
Next, we did escaping this arm lock
- When the bottom person puts you in the armlock, pull that attacked arm out and around their thigh/quad
- Push other hand on mat to go around them
- Get to side control if possible
We then added omoplata setup into leg triangle after the arm lock (three brother’s drill)
- Get the arm lock
- They escape the arm and grab your leg
- Swing the leg down and behind their elbow so their head is on mat and in omoplata shoulder lock position
- They swing up from the mat and you use the momentum to pull their arm across their body and get the legs into triangle position.
- Repeat.
One thing I hit successfully: The three brother’s drill
One thing that failed: I was failing a leg triangle while using Steven’s left arm, because I think I was used to doing the move on Charlie’s right arm! I was going the wrong way with my scooting and grabbing of my leg. The move is to go opposite their trapped arm and grab my left leg if I have their left arm, then scoot to the left if I have their left arm to dig in the choke with locking my right leg over the left leg. The reason I was getting the left arm this time was because, at the beginning of the three brother’s , I was going for Steven’s right arm , which he escapes with and I end up with his left arm.
One thing I will try next class: I will try to drink some more water. I need to drink more water when I sweat that much.
