BJJ 31.12.2009 & 2.1.2010

I can't really remember anymore what we had on these two practices around new year, but I might be able to write about one or two things.

On both times we had a clear theme with the techniques. New year's eve was about chokes when the opponent is in turtle position and you're on his head side. It is quite difficult to explain but the idea is to grab his collar and move your head between his hand and leg from the other side to under him. Somehow roll while your hands are around his neck, and you might be able to completely black him out very fast. There were different variations, but my memory is unfortunately very hazy. I couldn't find anything suitable from youtube either.

The following Saturday Tommi showed several nice sweeps from guard when the opponent is trying open your legs. If you're able to catch his leg while standing up, you can try push him down with your legs. If he is defending you can also go other way and somersault backwards on ground and stand up holding his leg. From there take down should not be too difficult.

On both times we had a few drills and several rounds of sparring. But like I said, it's all very fuzzy for me. All I remember is that I had fun.
