Warm up drills:
1. Turtle drill: My training partner elucidated the importance of getting secure double under hooks. I had been very lax about this until his mentioning. He remarked not only on the importance of this for torso control but also to limit Op's ability to counter with arms. I'm sure this had been explained to me at some point but I had lapsed.
2. Binding pass counter: This exercise was about taking the Op's back when he attempts a binding control pass. Gain a secure, deep under hook Op's binding arm with your same side arm, pull out knee/leg while simultaneous switch grips from same side arm to opposite arm, arm drag as you throw pulled out leg over Op's back to gain back mount.
3. Side mount to knee on belly: This was review. Just remember to sprawl and post arms on Op before mounting knee.
Technique:
1. Sitting in Kesa getame, bring inside knee up to Op's head, raise Op's outside arm by under hooking then posting your elbow on his belly--this will be extremely uncomfortable for him, with outside leg step over Op's head while maintaining grip on Op's far side arm, once in north/south pummel for kimura grips on Op's tied arm, pull Op's arm putting him on his side, plant knee behind his back, apply submission.
2. Second technique same as above, difference being you cannot pull Op onto side. In this case while maintaining kimura grip lean forward and post head to mat, with the leg opposite the side you posted your head, knee cut across and sit into a reverse side mount while maintaining kimura lock, your weight should be firmly planted upon Op's head/neck/shoulder, apply submission.
