JKD & BJJ Clocks and turtles, oh my!

BJJ Conditioning Drills

• Alternating armbars: Swing hips 180^o and set-up armbars
  
• Defending the pass by shrimping back to guard, frame on neck and push on hip
  
• Control the legs (thumbs toward you, pull legs to you and to floor), fake one side, go the other, insert leg at base of spine (flow through to side control).
  
• As you control the legs, (s)he sits up controlling kimono. Push your shoulder into chest to create entrance, control passing side leg.
  

Clock chokes

• Version #1: From rear side control, insert knee so that chest is facing the same direction as opponent's head. Cross hand lapel control, same side wrist control, move weight over neck and shoulders, head up, sit leg through (half-Spiderman) and "start the chainsaw/lawn mower/boat" (depending on your geographical location during your formative years).
  
• Version #2: From rear side control, insert knee so that chest is facing the same direction as opponent's head. Cross hand lapel control on both sides, hand furthest from opponent under neck, near hand shallow and distal to the opponent's far side axilla (armpit). Too deep (s)he will trap and roll you/sit out. Dive 45^o across opponent's far shoulder, and post with head, forming a tripod placed squarely (triangularly) over his neck and shoulder. Pull with hands to cinch choke.
  

More on the turtle defense mentioned 12/11, from the rear mount hooks inside, facing up position, keep the arms tight to your body and inside partner's hooks.

1. Put your feet on the floor and scoot away from him
   
2. Straighten one leg and "wing" your elbow, removing the hook
   
3. Hip out to this side, and spin to control other leg
   

I wrestled a bit after practice today, not eating following yesterday's undefined gastritis left me a little "peaked". But anyway I played more with the armdrag setups to armbar/sweep/etc. Alternatives that are opening up are of course switching side to side and starting with the sweep to set up the armbar.
