JKD & BJJ Must... have... calories... energy... fading...
Missed most of the JKD portion as my clinic time ran over today. Saw two interesting entrances of the lead hook:
We then played from the open guard with the feet in the hips, controlling both sleeves. Jack briefly described a few things to do offensively:
- Straight elbow to axilla
- As your partner throws the hook do a side cover but point the elbow straight ahead. Drive the point of the elbow into the armpit while checking the rear hand with your lead hand.
- Upward elbow to axilla
- Rotate and pick up the hook with rear forearm while driving a lead upward elbow into the biceps intersection with the deltoid. Follow with a rear downward elbow.
We then played from the open guard with the feet in the hips, controlling both sleeves. Jack briefly described a few things to do offensively:
- Extend and go to triangle
- Extend and arm drag, take back
- Pull the elbow towards the center and transition to oma plata
- Transition to other guards: De La Riva, lasso, Koala, etc.
- Compress the legs, that is, get the knees as bent as possible by grabbing the thighs and pulling to you.
- Deny control by get the grips off the sleeves.
