Team:

Excellent work on the mats this afternoon. Instructor Scott worked us out really hard this afternoon, particularly us folks who are competing in the tournament!

Modified Arm Bar (from Guard)

The arm bar set-up from guard is similar to the arm drag series we've worked in previous classes. You reach across your opponent's body with your right arm and grip his tricep from underneath. Make sure the wrist of the arm you attack is under your armpit to ensure a tight lock.

The arm bar is worked like the basic lock from there. Once you've locked this in, the risk of your opponent escaping is minimal; however, if you feel his energy coming into you (or stacking you) then you can always transition to his back or perform a sweep.  

Loop Choke (from Guard)

Throw Series

The series of throws we worked in class today were what Professor Heredia covered during November's training camp in Louisville. Here's a video of the series...the combination comes in at the 1:12 mark.
