Morning BJJ Training

I haven't trained BJJ since I popped my elbow a week ago. Today I decidced to go to class to see how I would hold up. We warmed up for about 20 minutes. Running, Sit ups, Forward rolls,hip escapes...

Today we worked on passing the open guard. When you opponent has you in his open guard with on foot on your bicep and the other on you hip and he's controlling you sleeves. The pass we worked on was to grip his gi inside his knee of the leg controlling your hip and with the other hand grip as close to the knee as you can. As you stand up pull back the leg you opponent is controlling you hip with and push down to hold it to the mat. Now push down the leg controlling the bicep and step around to pass his guard. Next Rey add a choke. As you step around to get side control hook one hand around his neck to grip the GI lapel closes to you and the other hand under his elbow to control his arm. Next slip you hand/arm controlling his arm behind is head. As you are set up the choke take your leg that is on the mat and swing it next to his back so you can fall back on to your back and pull him in to your guard. Swing the other leg over his stomach at the same time apply the choke.

We drilled for about an hour before Rey called for open mat training. I skipped because of my arm. I will wait until next Monday before I begin training full speed again.
