Sweeps from the Guard: Uke Over Postures

taught by professor leleo. i'm having this done to me frequently and cannot figure out the counter. when i try to post to prevent it, i get triangled.

Sweeps from the Guard: Scissor Sweep

the variation where i push his knee works much better for me.

arm bar from north south (Jamarillo Special)

one of professor gino's favorites. in the variation he teaches, he first threatens a kimura and uses the kimura grip until the arm bar is almost complete. i could not find a closer video on the web that shows this technique than this one. important points are to get off my knees and drive with my legs (unlike what is shown in the video) to torque my body as i bring my uke up to his side. important to use my other hand to block his hip.

secure a kimura grip and then place the foot past his chin so that he cannot use his arm to push the foot away. threaten the kimura and then fall back for the arm bar.

choke from the mount

professor gino did not include the arm trap in the version he taught me. i have trouble remembering which side to place my head. looks like the head goes on the same side as the non-choking arm. head slides side to side.
