PUNCH COUNTERING USING KICKS
Each of the following sets were against jabs and crosses
1: Waslik
If he throws the jab then scoop with the right, step off left and round kick with the right leg.
If he throws the cross, scoop with the left, step off right and kick with the left. At all times, the hands are long and covering his hands.
Higher grades added the Thai 4 count
2: Outside deflection or bridge
If he throws the jab, pak at the elbow with the right hand followed immediately with your left hand on the elbow but crashing and moving his centre and 12 o’clock. He should be both off balance and twisted across his centreline. Attack with the right cross followed by the left round kick to the lead leg.
For the cross, it is the opposite of the above. Pak the cross with the left hand then replace it with the long arm of the right hand, throw the left straight then attack with the right round kick.
3: Catch
Be it a cross or jab, it was the same counter: catch the punch, right oblique kick to the lead thigh then step off right and left round kick to the lead thigh.
The second option was coming in for the throw after the oblique kick. Step down and inside with the right foot as the right arm underhooks his left arm/shoulder. Step past and behind his base with the left foot (your centres are both facing the same direction). Kick the right leg back and up and push forward with the right hand on the back of his shoulder/head
After some research, I believe we were working a variation of Uchi mata. The following are for reference and developing our understanding of throwing mechanics.
GRAPPLING
Fanning round an opponent
Partner A is simply acting as a body on the floor for Partner B to practise and refine the fanning motions.
Scarf hold on the left – to side control on the left – to reverse scarf hold on the left – to mount – to reverse scarf hold on the right – to side control on the right – to scarf hold on the right.
T-bar escape loop drill
Scarf hold escape using the T bar - upper forearm against the jaw sitting on top of the lower forearm which is acting as a support. The upper forearm looks like the top of a capital T, and the lower forearm looks like the spine of the capital T. This happens as you get on to your side, that lower elbow must be on the floor. Shrimp the hips out and tuck the head into his ribs, as his head is forced back, lift the leg over the face and reverse the position to take you to the scarf hold.
Side control escape and reversal
Get on your side, place your lower hand at the hip and upper hand at the neck. Straighten the arms and shrimp the hips out. If the arms are straightened, you’re using your structure to maintain distance control, the more the arms bend, then you’re relying on muscle power. We must assume that we are working against a bigger and stronger opponent. There is no way to out muscle someone bigger and stronger which is why straight arms is the preferred method. As he pushes back in to you to close the range and distance, drop the left hip to the floor and use his momentum to sweep him over.
ARM LOCK FROM SIDE CONTROL
This final part of the session was BJJ focus and taught by Marc. Depending on your grappling persuasion, it will depend on your label for the finishing move – Kimura, double wrist lock or downward shoulder rotation. Regardless, the same goal is wanted: maximum pressure, pain and rotation of the shoulder causing submission, muscle tear or a Frank Mir break.
Working from side control on the left hand side of the body, use your left knee to open the arm so you can staple the left shin across the bicep. Base out with the left hand and replace the right leg where the left was on the bicep as you scoop under his left arm and pull up on his arm and step over the head with the left leg. The pulling motion needs to be tight and vigorous so that his shoulder comes up as well. Sit back on your heels with his head pinned under your seat and his left arm is now yours. To get the lock on, grab his wrist with your right hand and your left hand goes under your forearm and clasps your own wrist for the figure 4 shape. Keeping his elbow tight to your chest, pivot his hand behind him and then into his back pocket.
