Next we went through few bear hug escapes, both from behind and front. If the attacker comes from behind and gets a good hold, try to get a good stance and move so that one of his legs is between yours. Grab it from the ankle pull and fall behind. You should end up in a position where straight knee lock is possible. Knee locks are not allowed in sparring though, due to them resulting too often in bad injuries. In ADCC rules they are allowed regardless.
I am writing this again days after the practice so my memory is fading. But if I recall correctly the techniques of the day were juji from guard and inverted armbar from the same position. In juji its important to climb the opponent's back with your legs so that your hips remain high up. I'll try to find a suitable video clip for inverted armbar here. Edit: not quite it, but gives the idea:
There were few unlucky accidents: dislocated toe, bleeding nose and something else that I can't remember. Accidents happen, who cares? Still quite safe sport, if bruises aren't taken into account.
