Guard Pass and Side Mount Escape

Rolled at the gym at lunch and at night.

Lunch notes:

• Rolled with Paul and worked escapes.
• Need to let people pass and work escapes.
• Kimura defense has helped a lot.

Evening notes:

John showed me a guard pass and side mount escape.

Guard Pass

• Guard is open with knee through (assume my left over their right)
• Post right leg up
• Anchor down on their head
• Slide forward above head (to make them do the splits)
• Similar to over the shoulder pass, but using your leg instead of shoulder
• Donkey kick out and drop hips to complete pass

Side Mount Escape

• Bridge and slide arm nearest opponent under them
• Arm under grab heel of foot
• Shoot legs to their head to create space for other arm to slide under
• Turn into them to go for single leg

Notes:

• When working side mount escape "push yourself away from your opponent", don't "push them away from you"
• Focus on getting arms in hips and armpits. Bump and push!
• When passing, destroy legs. Don't rush to pass. Destroy their legs from side, top, etc...
• Keep working escapes.
• Look to set up kimura by grabbing elbows.
