Here's a run down of the fundamentals class for the 2nd April:

Another packed class, probably 30 or so, kicked off with some hip outs, before getting into some specific counters from cross face sidecontrol. Geoff then spent the remainder of the class focussing on the caught on your back in sidecontrol situation. The first escape and reversal was to create space with the forearm and slide your knee across yr opponents belly, with your far arm grab their far elbow and hug it to your body, effectively blocking that side, with the other hand reach down and grab the leg, from there we use the knee across the belly to create the leverage as we lift the opponets leg up and sweep him over his blocked arm, we then come up into a knee ride and finish with the armbar.

The second variaition was a counter to when they block your leg across their belly by pushing with their hand, in this scenario we rolled to our side, sat up and setup the figure 4, we then had a couple of options, one was to go for the finish, or if they raise their base then we blocked their pass with our left leg before going to half guard and rolling over to a top control position where we finished again with ther armbar.

Finally to finish we worked that combination over and over again before culminating with a few mat jokes.
