i went to the Jimmy pedro seminar this morning. He covered a couple of gripping ideas before the ne waza. mostly focused on right on right, getting a strong same side or cross grip against the right shoulder of a right sided player, before workign to a traditional 2 handed grip. Against a left sided player, he rethreaded to get back to a more dominant inside control grip.
on the ground he covered a russian variation on the juji gatame turn. he made a point of the importance of doing uchikomis as entrances into ne waza. he would come from a standing position to the hook in with the overhook and the posted head and low arm, then come out and uchikomi into that position. he stressed the need for speed and aggression in geting in the first half of the technique. Uchikomis build speed. Then for the second half, of the technique, you needn't be as fast. he made a point to maintian tension on the over hooked arm as he worked for the turn. When he pulled uke over, he lifted uke off of the mart and captured the head before completing the turn. He never comes up to attack the arm. He maintains pressure and never lets the defense solidify.
After the turn, he did Uki Gatame to take the pin if he couldn't free the arm. Feed the overhooking armacross his lpow leg to grab the belt of the pinned uke. pull his hips and legs ot you and reach over them and grab the legs. Drive forward and come up and pin. Do not switch to the arm unless he commits to escaping the pin and releases the arm.
He also did a underhook Adams variation. any time he has an underhook, including when taking the back, he would take them to a turtle and atack the arm. For both turns the arm that hooked he set as high on the opposite thigh to secure it as possible. he would actually pull the arm up with the other arm to get it as high as possible creating tension on the attacked arm.He would extreme pressure on the arm, trying to rip it free. The direction was right at the top corner of the body. He drove his knee at the side of their head. He created height by not driving down but by driving from high on his forehead. This lifted the head of the uke and allowed him to slip his leg under their face. From their he went to the Adams turn variation. He drove off of the top leg that passed under the face, almost sumi gaeshing the uke over the top. His knee was turned in strongly keeping uke down. Again he never sat up ripping at the arm to deny the chance for the uke to set their defense.
If uke turns the hips away, you can't sit up to the ujki gatame. so maintain the underhook, take the low leg off and swing it underneath you. drive up on the other leg and change sides to take a strong pin.
lastly, he worked from behind. he came out from taking the back by reaching from an underhook on the lapel, reaching over the shoulder and grabbing the belt. the other hand switches to the back of the shoulder. Sit back and lift uke over your low leg and put him in a half guard, with an escrima. Tripod up and pass the knee to the side and drive it free to pass.
5-4 minute sets of matwork.
first had a srong young competitor. he was agressive but i reversed him and took the top. I passed tot he side and pinned him. he finally tapped to the pin. same thing again but the time ran out before he tapped.
second set was with with russian from the NYAC. He tried to can opener his wat from the guard. I passed behind him a few times. almost reversed him.
Third set had a excellent polish player who finished third at 90 kgs. i pulled x guard and swept him and passed him. he had a slick entry into uma plate. He tried for the submission and I had to roll to avoid it. he held the pin until the end.
Fourth set was with a 90 kgs brown belt. i caught him a few times and moved around with him. Not as competitive as the other guys.
Odd man on the fifth set.
Several randori sets. I had the Russian from the NYAC again. we had a few attacks with one another but no scores. also had a 300+ american 19 year old who threw me a few times. Nice kid named Dan. i did Uchikomis with Him for a few more sets.
Good day.
