As a continuation of my public notebook: I started a new daily blogging challenge to begin solidifying the learning that I’m doing while training jiu jitsu.

Notes: Friday August 2nd

Training at 10th Planet, Sequence:

Kimura sweep

Open guard for a bump sweep, swimming your arm across their opposite shoulder, grab their arm in a kimura grip. Holding their arm, chop your legs and sweep them into bottom mount.

Americana fake into giftwrap

Switching the pre-existing kimura grip into an Americana grip, bait their defense. When they turn to their side to defend, put your foot tight next to their hip and your other leg locked behind their back. Sit heavy. Wrap their arm into the gift wrap.

Giftwrap into back-take

Sit back and pull them upwards. Get your hooks in.
