    Plus it boosts self esteem!

    2/28/07-South Hills Judo Club

    The guys are getting ready for states so we did a bunch of randori.

    We did grip fighting, promise throws, and actual randori.

    During the promise throws I worked on: O goshi

    and

    harai goshi

    and some others.


    During Randori
    I avoided a lot of techniques but really didn't land much of anything.

    Fun practice.

    Pitt Grappling Club

    Andrew from the CMU grappling club taught.

    Uchi Mata

    Koshi Guruma

    Koshi Guruma, you don't have to get as far below uke's hips because you are controlling the head. You do have to get the hip outside of uke's.


    On to groundwork.

    Pendulum Sweep


    Controll one arm, foot in hip and angle like you are going to do an armbar, underhook knee on that side, lift far leg and sweep uke over.

    Armbar from guard
    (In the link the retads are wearing shoes on the mat)


    You can try back and forth with these to get one.



    Free Rolling

    Rolled with Warren. Traded positions, did pretty good.

    Rolled with Andrew (CMU grappling club). He destroyed me.

    3/5/07 South Hills Judo Club

    Rick taught.

    Moving Uchi Komi

    Ippon Seoinage

    Combinations of throws, work either way.

    Harai Goshi to
    Osoto Gari

    Uke gets his hips down so turn your body taking little hop step (or steps) around, making sure to kazushi down while doing it.


    Ippon Seoinage
    to
    Kouchi Gake


    Again, uke resists. Change directions wrap right leg around uke's right leg, drive with the left leg, your arm is over uke's leg preventing escape. The motion is kind of like a side breakfall.

    Randori.

    Two blackbelts (Rick and other guy {don't know his name}) absolutely owned me. Rick said I need to attack more.

    Whitebelt who trained judo at Penn State (don't recall his name either). I landed a Kouchi Gake (see above) and an uchi mata
    in the first couple minutes with him. Then he started to land stuff on me. Carl said I was trying to muscle him too much.

    Did some BJJ drills after class with a guy who is a blue belt under Relson Gracie. We just did some armbar from the guard and triangle to armbar drills.


    Good class, not too much of a workout.

    3/7/07 South Hills Judo

    Rick and Phil taught the judo hour.

    Uchi Komi

    Koshi Guruma

    Ouchi Gari

    Osoto Gari

    We were doing these throws quickly, as soon as we gained a grip. For Koshi Guruma, we grabbed the lapel and immediately pulled it in. For Ouchi, we grabbed uke's lapel, uke braces himself, seize the opportunity and go. We did Osoto from the lapel grip also.

    Randori

    Went one round with the guy who trained judo at Penn State. Neither of us had any great throws. I kind of had a Kouchi Gake


    BJJ hour taught by Bobby.

    Posture in half guard. Be on your side, don't let uke flatten you out. Don't let uke underhook your near arm. You want that arm under his and reaching around grabbing his belt on the far side.

    2 half guard sweeps

    1. You are in the above mentioned posture. Try to chiken wing your way out to take the back, uke blocks by overhooking your arm. Reach your right arm under uke and grab his left foot. At this point let go of uke's belt with your left hand and place uke's foot in that hand. Use your right hand to post and get set (all while keeping uke's foot in the left hand). Grab uke's knee with the right hand and drive into him with head and shoulder. Lift leg over to pass his half guard. Really effortless. (Eddie Bravo calls this sweep "old-school")

    2. You try above sweep and uke puts all of his weight on top of you preventing it. With the right hand instead of grabbing at the knee, come under the shin. Roll uke in opposite direction. (Eddie Bravo's plan B to old-school)

    Free Rolling

    White belt guy. Kept good position. I was armbarring him from top and he got his leg over my head and I actually tapped from that. I'm embarrassed.

    Randy- choked me out once. Traded positions. He complemented me on the progress I've been making.

    Rich- Traded positions, can't recall if there were any submissions.

    Bobby- Owned me, I managed to avoid a couple submissions but he kept catching me.

    3/13 Shjc

    Carl taught

    Ippon seoinage to tani otoshi

    Fake the Ippon then step behind, drive with the rear leg.

    Hane goshi to hane makikomi

    You go for hane goshi, uke resists, wrap around and drop. Your armpit should be by his (chest contact).

    Uke tries ippon seoinage, we counter with ushiro goshi

    Then again, uke tries ippon seoinage, pivot away to osotogari

    Then the same pivot to Osoto Guruma

    This is the same as osoto gari except you reap both legs.

    Randori. I had the distinguished honor of my first two opponents being blackbelts. Needless to say they threw me around. I took Rick's advice from last time and tried to attack more. I tried a drop ippon on him, he told me there was too much space between us.

    Randori with Jeremy. I was worn out from the two blackbelts, he got an ogoshi on me, I got a tani otoshi on him.

    On to Ne Waza Randori.

    Rich, uneventful, I think we both had sweeps.

    Don't remember guy's name. Took mount a few times. Got him with an armbar from mount.

    Phil, he tooled me. Submitted me with a kimura and some other stuff.

    Carl taught us yoko shiho gatame


    If you can trap far arm under you better. Arm that's under leg grips uke's gi skirt. get your knee close to uke's other armpit, pinning it in.

    After class Rich and I did some uchi komi for: Ogoshi, koshi guruma, and harai goshi

    Points to remember: On throws like harai goshi or uchimata I need to step less deep so my kazushi can work. Sleeve pull high (looking at watch). Get my hips lower than uke's when throwing. Relax during randori.

    Good night overall.

    in randori, don't forget setups and combos. Attack with a lot of sweeps to keep them thinking and to thwart their attacks. even if the sweeps are ineffective, they can set up the bigger throws.

    I've been trying that, I think I need to get 1 faster 2 closer (less space) for the follow up throws.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    and 3, kazushi them more. Even if the sweep doesn't make them fall, if it knocks them off balance or is believable enough that they react, that will buy you the time needed to get close.

    3/15 Pitt Grappling

    No gi.

    Went over Hip heist (hip bump) sweep.

    Series of 3 attacks from guard.


    Kimura from guard


    If they streighten their arm out of the kimura we went to This Lock another discription



    They streighten their arm after the kimura, trap it behind your head, turn your hips towards them with your feet in their hips, apply pressure right above the tricep.

    If they escape from this we applied an Americana from guard My teachers discription



    Once again these pictures are a poor illustration. The last armlock failed due to them bending their arm, catch the arm, get your one leg over their head to prevent mobility. Finish americana.

    Rolling

    Rolled with a few people. I didn't do too well. One guy completely owned me. A guy I owned the last time we rolled did much better this time. I learned Kouchi Makikomi is not so good for grappling situations. It gives uke hooks to take your back. As a matter of fact...

    I had my back taken a few times. I defended really well after giving up my back, but I need to stop giving it up.

    I did have some good sweeps, but didn't score any submissions.

    Pitt Grappling

    Walking uchi comi for Osoto Gari, Ippon Seoinage, Tai Otoshi, an possibly some others.


    Went over

    Pass from side controll to mount.

    Kesa Gatame to americana with legs.



    Kimura, Americana, and Streight Arm Lock from side controll.


    Kimura- arch back for leverage, if that doesn't work step leg over head. The streight armlock was executed with the arms and pressure on the elbow. Transition of grips from a failed Kimura/Americana.

    1/19

    Edit: Above should say 3/19 (i've done that a few times in this log).

    Judo

    Warm ups and ukemi

    walking uchi komi

    Ippon Seoinage

    Osoto Gari

    Harai Goshi

    Okuriashi Harai


    Went on to posture. Do not let head go down or out in front of knee.
    Drill: For the time one player's complete job was to break the others posture down and the other player's job was to keep good posture.

    Added one technique that we were allowed to do:

    Harai Tsurikomi Ashi
    I got this on my opponent twice.

    Then we took that away and added Ouchi Gari
    My opponent got me with this twice.

    Then we did grip fighting and baiting tricks.

    Randori.

    Guy (don't know name) He got me with ogoshi a couple times, then I countered with Tani Otoshi and once with a Ushiro Goshi. I didn't land much else.

    Randori with Phil (PA state black belt division winner 195lbs) I tried attacking constantly which made it interesting, in the end I just got tossed around.

    3/21

    Judo

    Rick taught.

    Intense warm up

    walking uchi komi our choice (mine was Harai Goshi)

    Posture fighting.

    Tori's job is just to maintain good posture while uke tries to pull him down. Tori is not allowed to grip.

    Grip fighting


    Randori

    I was gassed and didn't do anything


    BJJ

    Bobby taught

    Kimura from side controll.


    If you have uke in side controll and they try to kimura you. Step your leg up over your elbow, it is blocked. You can now eiter 1 Take right hand and push on uke to break his grip or 2 Swing around for the far side armbar.


    Uke (who you have in side controll) pushes up on your face, you give a little then push his arm down for an Americana.

    Ne Waza Randori

    Rolled with Anthony, Got him once by streight armbar, once by americana with the legs (from Kesa Gatame).

    Rolled with bearded guy, kept good postition, no submissions.

    Rolled with new guy. He was huge and strong. Kept him in guard the whole time.

    Rolled with Anthony again, got the takedown (he tried osoto and I just tossed him). Got him once with an armbar.

    I hit some armbars, but I want more controll of opponent when doing them and to get my leg accross their face in a smoother and faster way.

    Perhaps I'll try this:



    A BETTER ARMBAR?

    I recommend checking out this tip on my website at http://tinyurl.com/3b5j8a
    (or www.grapplearts.com/2007/03/better-armbar.htm) because I have
    added lots of photos to clarify the positions I am talking about. I
    am sending out the following information in email format just in case
    you don't have access to a web browser right now.

    The armbar, as it is usually taught, involves using BOTH of your hands
    or arms to control ONE of your opponent's arms. This two-on-one
    control is used both to break through your opponent's defenses, and to
    actually apply the armbar submission.

    The two-on-one armbar control has won a LOT of matches in BJJ, MMA,
    submission grappling, judo, sambo, etc. It is a tried and true
    approach, but unfortunately that also means that there are a LOT of
    counters to this type of armbar.

    Prior to a few years ago, I'd seen some one-handed armbar variations
    where the top arm controlled the arm and the bottom hand controlled
    the near leg. I thought that these were simply interesting variations,
    and not really bread-and-butter material.

    Then my my longtime training partner, Vlado Skrepnik, started
    attacking me with the one-handed armbar. I remember feeling really
    frustrated, because his control of my leg effectively killed most of
    my escape techniques. Most armbar counters rely on turning into your
    opponent, or turning away from your opponent and/or getting to your
    knees - all of which are nullified by his control of your leg.

    About a year after after Vlado started using this style of armbar I
    came across a book by Eddie Bravo, and discovered that Eddie calls
    this position the "spider web" using it as the foundation of his
    armbar attacks. Maybe these guys were onto something, I thought, and
    decided to find out for myself.

    Since that point I have experimented with this style of armbar, and
    generally I've been pretty happy with it. It really does make it much
    more difficult for your opponent to escape the armbar position.
    Furthermore if you don't give up much control or power over his arm IF
    you use correct technique.

    Below I'll take you through a two variations of the initial position,
    and then show you a simple way to break your opponent's grip when he
    locks his hands together to counter your armbar.

    One-armed armbar, shallow grip:

    I am sitting up and leaning slightly towards his legs. My bottom hand
    controls his leg by gripping behind his closest knee (with the gi you
    can grip cloth). My top arm is inserted DEEP on his arm (inner elbow
    to inner elbow) - I can cup my own thigh with my hand to keep things
    tight. I prefer crossing my feet in this armbar position, and having
    my bottom foot over my top foot feels the most natural to me.

    One-armed armbar, deep grip

    This variation is pretty similar except that I am lying down on my
    left side and my left arm is hooked much more deeply around his leg.

    One-armed armbar counter and recounter

    I start in the one-armed armbar position, but my opponent blocks my
    armbar by clasping his hands together and preparing his escape. I have
    many options to counter his counter (what I call 're-counters'), but
    here is a simple, high-percentage option:

    Maintaining my grips in exactly the same position I place the foot of
    my bottom leg on his far bicep. I push with my leg and pull with my
    lower back creating a tremendous pressure on his grip. If he needs
    more convincing to let go I 'jackhammer' my leg in a series of short,
    sharp stomps.

    When my opponent releases his grip I keep my foot on his bicep while
    falling back. The crook of my elbow starts sliding up his forearm
    towards his wrist, increasing the length of my lever and the amount of
    force I can generate on his arm.

    I maintain my grip on his leg right until he taps out. In the final
    position the crook of my top arm is at his wrist, which is much more
    secure than grabbing his wrist with my hand.

    If you managed to follow what I am talking about without pictures then
    I'm impressed! If you want to see pictures to go with the text then
    go to http://tinyurl.com/3b5j8a (or
    www.grapplearts.com/2007/03/better-armbar.htm).

    Until next time....

    Pitt Grappling Club

    Bobby taught


    Elevator sweep from sitting on your butt with feet in hips guard (? spider/butterfly guard?)

    uke grabs your knee gi material. Push his hand through, both of your feet go to the inside of his thigh, fall to your side, take him over, sit your hips through.

    Kind of like this but from a different guard position and with a gi


    Can't get that sweep because uke's grip is too strong, kick leg forward.

    Face down armbar starting from that guard position. Uke has your knee gi material. Pull your leg extending his arm. Underhook and roll to a face down armbar.

    Free Rolling.

    I got beat on all night, I landed one armbar on Al (who is probably 20lbs lighter than me).

    Got a stripe on the white belt. Jimmy, Randy, and Bryce got stripes on their bluebelts. Good practice.

    3/26 South Hills Judo

    Rick and Phil taught the judo hour

    Fits and throws for Uchi Mata

    Then a combo

    Ouchi Gari
    to
    Uchi Mata

    In this combo uke ends up in the perfect position for uchi mata. All you need to do is take the step through. I need to remember with uchi mata that my side goes to uke (not my back). I kept wanting to do harai goshi.


    Tachiwaza randori

    First person to score stays out, if noone scores switch every minute. It was pretty fun. I had a couple kouchi gake


    Bryce taught us Ude Gaesh, which he caught me with friday night.


    Ude Gaesh is great if someone is streight arming you or won the grip battle.

    Randy and Bryce taught BJJ

    Kimura from half guard

    Kimura from half guard, uke escapes half guard and has to roll out.

    Pin

    Ne Waza Randori

    Rolled with three people, traded positions a lot. Got one submission (armbar from mount). Not too bad of an evening.
