inverted arm bar from guard

taught by professor gino. this is the closest video i could find. in prof. gino's variation, i post my far foot on the uke's hips. use a butterfly grip and press my forearm into his jaw, then rotate my whole body. close leg ends up high on his shoulder. need to move my neck closer to his wrist (away from his elbow). need a lot more practice on this one (hard to find his elbow with a gi on). only works if his posture is already somewhat broken.

Spinning arm bar from side control

trapping the arm (that is on the floor) and holding the belt were two details not yet taught to me by professor gino.

important points: digging the toes into the ground and turning to look towards the ground.

Over Under Choke from the Guard

this video demos the choke from an open guard but prof. gino taught this one from a closed guard position. the setup we learned was also different. we start with the second hand going behind the neck. we jerk it over at the same time we hip out.

ezekiel choke from the mount

this is a short video but a much better explanation can be found in saulo riberio's revolution 1 dvd, "the mount."

americana from side control

roll my wrists forward. use monkey grips (no thumbs). the leg positioning shown in the video is something i was not taught but looks accurate.

kimura from side control

keep his elbow high, angle less than 90 deg, roll my wrists forward (like a motorcycle accelerating). thumbs tucked in (monkey grips). to avoid having the uke come up, consider sitting out (sprawling) and standing up so that my hamstring blocks his head on the way up.
