3/11 - Downtown (Evening)
One of my friends from the other school came that I haven't seen in probably a year or so. Great guy, love rolling with him. Hope he's going to be back on the regular.
We worked half guard escapes
1. Drive the bus
Assuming opponent has reverse kesa gatame:
2. Escape to top half: Push their near side elbow away (toward your hips), hip into/under them, grip under their pants, preferably under thigh/knee near the floor. As you hip under them, their head and near shoulder should be getting closer to the floor. Bring them the rest of the way down and kick your legs up to roll over the top of them and end up in top half.
3. Escape to take the back: Similar to #2, but assume you can't get the roll over. Bait them with the mount. As they mount, hip up and shove the near side leg between yours. Keep the grip on their elbow so you aren't just throwing them off to the side.
Rolled with James, Manny, Keith, Michael and Zack. Didn't feel as smooth as earlier in the day, but overall can't complain.
