Good job fellas at the tournament last week.  Even though it is not our rules, I would consider a first place and a bunch of 2 places a fine showing.  Now, if they would have let us throw in addition to ground work it might have been a straight sweep.

Practice..


Standing
Takes downs from a "seam grip"

penetration step (offside of grip) pivot and pull

1. cross ankle pick,
2. inside trip
3. outside trip

Working for angle

Practice has been revolving around getting deep under your opponent when standing, getting good angle on major throws.  Making smooth transitions from standing into cross-body or scarf hold.  Moving from scarf to reverse scarf and cross-body

-attack with penetration step and continue breaking balance throughout the throw.
-get full rotation and be able to continue to rotate if needed. 
-Get your toes and knees going in the right direction which allows the hips to rotate?

-Ground work has focused on scarf hold and cross-body, make them pay keep your weight on them

cross-body

-legs out vs legs tight (out is better pin/in is more mobile)
-your center on the near side of the down man's chest, (proximal of the medial line.)
-keep your hips down

scarf hold

-get your head side leg tight in order to keep their shoulder off the ground
-drop your head into them, while pulling up with the hips, (dual action)
-when making a transition, be able to keep your weight on them

Drills

standing
-First step deep with hard pivot (focus on good placement of the first foot and no cheat steps pivoting in, just to load… throw on 5)

-Transitional drill from throw to cross body or scarf

Ground:
-Scarf to reverse scarf hip switch drill, add in cross body

-Above switch drill with submission attack on the 5^th switch
