Morning Drills: 4-13-16

Last night we drilled taking the back from the mounted position, so that is what I drilled today.

To drill it, I would put the dummy on one side and then get into position. It's almost like the S mount except your front foot is flat on the ground. You wrap under the arm and head and pull your opponents head onto your knee. Then you just stay tight as you lean back. If all goes well, you should be able to roll to take the back. The dummy was very cooperative, so it worked each time...

After that, I drilled a cross choke variation for when the opponent is keeping his hands close to his chest and collar. To start, you snake one hand under his arms to grab the collar. You then go into S mount and adjust for a deeper grip. The opposite hand then grabs the other side of the collar for the cross choke.

That's it. I wrapped up the morning routine with a 20 minute meditation on appreciation.
