BJJ Fundamentals, 14 in class.

Started with a warm up using side control escapes from the pass few classes. Then progressed into a few specific skills starting with using the forearm and elbow to make space to escape when our partner has a good control of our head.

Then we moved onto some of John's switch base techniques. Firstly how to escape when our partner has control of our hips and legs. To escape, use our hands to stop them following us. We move away from them using a sidewinder motion, one we have enough space we can then hip out and place them in our guard.

From the top. We switch base onto their hips, control their legs
- if they hip out then we throw our leg over their legs and touch our top heel (over their leg) to our bottom knee, (on the mat) from there we slide our body up theirs and wrap our top arm around their head securing their arm in a cross face position as we move to mount.

- If they don't move we shuffle and encourage them to use their arms on our back, when we feel the elbow raise we grab their gi pants and use our hips to control their arm as we transition to front control, from there we again use our arm to secure an cross face as we mover to side control.
