30 degrees in the shade...

Kevin's on holiday so Dante takes the Wednesday class. Drilling on takedowns, disrespecting the legs to go into knee on belly. Loop choke from knee on belly. Quick note: Nearest hand comes in around to the back of the collar (thumb in), next hand comes in and grabs collar just under the other hand (same side but palm open). Then, nearest arm loops over partner's head to the other side and use scissor-like motion to effect the choke. Effective!
After that, a variation on escape from knee on belly. Farthest arm grabs partner's belt (or gi around this area), nearest hand on knee. The shrimp out and get to your knees. Forgo doing a single leg variation like before, but hand on knee slides down to grab the ankle. Drive forward to attain side control.

It was a very hot day and more so during class. I wish I was doing nogi...
