BJJ 11.2.2010

Everybody had a say on what to do for warm up: after the full round and approximately 15 different exercises I felt that I had went to body pump class instead of jiu-jitsu. Then we continued training the mount position, both bottom and attacking.

Tommi showed two different techniques, the ezekiel choke and juji after trying americana. Ezekiel is my old favorite and I've included it in my "game plan" pretty much since I first saw it in a video clip. The idea is to sneakily have your other arm behind the opponent's neck and slip your hand inside the sleeve of your other arm. Then bring the open hand to his throat. It can be utilized pretty much from any position, but from mount and side mount it is probably the likeliest to succeed.

Here Ilya Goldman demonstrates:


Then we briefly went through juji especially after americana. While defending americana one usually uses the other hand to protect the hand the shoulder. From there the hand is free for some serious armbar action.

Mount attacking and defending with different partners for a while and then free rolling I think for three rounds in the end. I felt slightly better with my moves this time.
