This morning we did a few warm up rounds, wrestling at a slower pace, the theme here was to observe and study what our partner was doing, so we can get a better understanding of what we need to counter, when to do it etc. It also gives us a chnace to be more technical, ensuring that everything is right, as oopsed to going hell for leather and missing a few important details.

We then fixed a few problems which we observed from the above, this included some specifics on passing the guard and also the cuttign armbar. We then did some rounds of finishing, one partner just goes for there finishes, whilst the other defends, this type of training is now starting to pay dividends as our games are startign to become more intense and focussed on the finish.

Next up we drilled a counter to the basic choke, as our opponent get his choking grips in place, we pull guard, from here we did 2 things:
(1) we broke the grip, placed their arm across our chests, reached around their backs, grapped their lat and swept them to there backs, immediately we took kneeride and finished with the armbar.
(2) we don't bother breaking the grip, we just go to our open guard, and triangle choke our opponent.

We drilled the above to make it a quick reactive and fluid movement.Finally we finished off with a few rounds of elbow-knee.
