Megaton had a light warm-up to start his seminar, nothing like the grueling hour we used to endure back in the old days. We did jumping jacks, push-ups, and sit-ups. We then did break fall practice, slapping the mat from the supine position, sitting, squatting, and standing. We then did forward rolls, note that you roll over your lead leg, place the palm of the opposite hand on the floor, and then roll over the back of your other hand, forearm, arm, and shoulder. We finished with backward rolls. Whether you have a strong judo arsenal in your combat sports arsenal or not, a clear understanding of break falls and rolls is critical for your development.
Throws
- Seonagi: Your opponent has a single same side lapel grip. Reach superiorly to their grip, and secure the ipsilateral lapel. Pull medially across your body to make your opponent step laterally, as they do meet them by turning into them. Simultaneously place your cubital fossa into their axilla, fist up palm toward in-line with their shoulder, your feet squaring with them and pointed in the same direction. Bend forward to lift and throw them.
- Osoto gari: Control one arm at the elbow with the other at the lapel, lift their arm and fit tightly but stepping laterally with enough room to clear your hip. You should close with half your chest in contact with half theirs, pushing them backward at a 45° angle, anchoring them to this leg. Reap with a bent leg, by acting like a "dippy bird", chest coming down as leg comes up.
- Hopping variation of osoto gari: If the leg you wish to reap is positioned posteriorly, reach your leg reap leg forward, hooking your heel behind their knee. Now hop forward as this leg pulls toward you, your will reap them as your body moves forward and the leg pulls posteriorly.
- Twist sweep: With lapel and opposite elbow control, close with your opponent, lateral chest to lateral chest on the elbow control side. As you do push their elbow backward as you pull their lapel, your objective is to twist them. This twist should provoke them to step on the lapel control side. Block their step with the dorsal surface of your foot. The twist and sweep all occur simultaneously, you are not kicking their leg, they are kicking your foot because they are provoked to step.
Suicide chokes
- Cross collar and triceps control: From a neutral kneeling postion, obtain cross collar control and pull forward, looping your arm over their head with the lapel across their neck. Now dive your head underneath them on the side you are gripping, attempt to get your head to the opposite side as you turn over. Cup their triceps on the side opposite your lapel grip. If they roll to escape simply follow them by rolling with them, when you reach a prone position, hip switch to obtain a perpendicular position to your opponent, release the triceps, put your palm on the floor and slide your hand away from you, increasing the wedge height behind their head. Start with a loose grip on the kimono lapel, too tight and you will run out of room putting undue pressure on your wrist. Also when you hip switch, move away a little to tighten the choke.
- Suicide mata leao: From the same neutral kneeling position, your pull forward with the cross collar grip, but they post their hand on this side on the mat. Continue to loop their head, but this time underhook their posted arm and place the hand on the back of their skull. Dive your head lateral to their posted arm to cinch the choke.
4-Points reversals
You are in the four points position, with our opponent hugging your from the top, parallel with you.
- Hip out: Grip their opposite pant leg at the knee, step out the leg on this side laterally. Throw your free elbow up and back, simultaneously drive your head laterally and up, sliding along your opponent's body. As soon as you are clear, turn the corner to obtain rear hip control.
- Roll to arm lock: Grip their opposite sleeve, to block their post. On the side opposite their controlled sleeve, step your leg out laterally to facilitate a barrel roll in the direction they cannot post. Once they are on their back, wrap your free arm around the limb you have a grip on, proximal to their elbow, securing the figure-4 and locking the elbow.
- Pulling guard: Step the leg up on the outside of your opponent's body, simultaneously popping your head out on the opposite side, sit back, pulling them to the guard.
Wrapping Up
Brabo choke from guard: From the closed guard, free the kimono and feed it over their back to the opposite side, cross grip the distal piece of the passed kimono, and bring your forearm close to your opponent's body. Now pull your opponent's arm (the one ipsilateral to the manipulated kimono) across your body. Re-guard into a high closed guard, keeping their dragged arm's elbow against your torso, to tighten the choke.
Transition to arm bar: If your opponent ducks under the passed kimono to avoid the choke, use the kimono to wrap their arm, then pull their arm across your body. Drop your forearm across theirs to keep the wrapped arm trapped. Now use your free hand to reach across to grab the shoulder fold of their kimono to spin to the arm bar.
Spider guard to X-guard sweep
From the spider guard, switch to a De La Riva hook, cup the ankle on this side, use your other leg to push their rear leg back. Undo the De La Riva hook and set-up the X-guard, by bring this foot into their far hip, with your knee now behind their cupped leg. Your other foot now goes behind their far knee. Pass the arm sleeve of their rear leg to the hand that was cupping their heel, making an overhook of their leg. Extend your legs as your tilt them laterally over their trapped arm. Come to the knee on stomach position.
Berimbolo
From seated De La Riva, cup their ankle on the hook side, and obtain the cross collar grip with your other hand. Extend your legs and push laterally to have them fall to their posterior. Now perform a straight roll, perpendicular to their hooked leg. As you end up on your back, you should still be hooking the leg, your opposite leg is across their body at the hips, switch your ankle grip to their opposite ankle. Now roll them by pulling with your leg hook and guiding their ankle. You should end up behind them but will need to pull them/climb to get their back. If not you can simply sprawl on their legs and pass. If that was clear as mud, this may help:
Leg Drag Pass
From a open guard position, grip one pant leg with both hands, pressure in and then retract simultaneously pulling their leg across your body. You want to get the posterior side of their thighs against your legs. Keep the grip ipsilateral to their leg and move your opposite hand to grip their same side collar (your arms will cross). Now pull yourself forward placing your head on the same side your hand is, creating an intense pressure from the tripod position
The lasso guard is set-up like a spider guard, but you control one sleeve and have their arm wrapping your shin.
- Lasso guard to oma plata: If you chose to dive or if your opponent attempts to pass your leg, spin underneath, clear their leg and obtain the oma plata.
- Lasso guard to sweep: Rather than going all the way to the oma plata, keep your shin against their cubital fossa. Either push on your ankle with your free foot or triangle your leg to sweep your opponent by their arm.
