This is another terrific sequence but….. it is going to be hard to break down. Will try to be clear as possible…
- Opp has Hero in R Z Guard
- Hero R Arm/Hand (UH) -> Opp L Inner Thigh
- Hero L Arm -> Opp L Back of Neck Collar Gi
- (AST) Hero turns body -> R and sits L Hip -> Ground
- Hero is now facing to Opp feet
- Hero L Knee -> Opp R Hip/Stomach which prevents Opp from turning R into Hero
- There are a few passing options from here but we are going to say that Hero decides to turn back L to a Knee slice
- Hero turns L and Hero R + L Hands -> L + R above Opp Head; (AST)
- Hero L Leg posts -> L; Hero R Knee -> Ground
- this is kind of like a knee slice
- in this case Opp 1/4 guards Hero R Ankle
- Hero L leg reverse steps backwards -> Opp L side
- Hero is again facing Opp Feet
- Hero L Hand -> Opp R Ankle
- Hero Head/Torso -> L and towards Opp Feet (AST) Hero R Hand -> Opp R Leg Back of knee
- Hero R Leg drives deep between Opp Legs (try to get hip on hip)
- this is critical to set up for the knee bar
- Hero needs to drive both legs deep -> Opp BackGlute area
- Hero R + L Ankle cross
- Hero L Arm Swims (UH) inside Opp L Leg
- from here Hero can finish knee bar by driving Hips forward
- if this fails there is also an ankle lock -> Opp R ankle
- Hero L Hand -> tip of Opp R foot; Hero L Arm (UH) Opp R Shin and Hero R Hand -> Hero L Forearm
- Hero finishes ankle lock here
Okay those are the notes from one of my latest classes. I really like the movement ideas that are in this sequence but…. while doing a bit of research I came across one of Dean Lister’s youtube video which kind of destroys a couple of things above in relation with attacking the Knee bar and the Ankle Lock so I attached his video below. I am a big fan of Dean Lister and hope to train with at his gym one day.
