Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Technique Class

Well I had a pretty good night in class and I got quite a few submissions while working the guard game. I got a tight oma plata tonight which of late has been tough for me to pull off against strong opponents. I have been having problems with them standing up and rolling me back over cause I havent been carrying my momentum around quick enough to keep then from getting there foot under them. I also worked on a new way of executing an arm bar from the guard without having to use my foot to pivot. Basically I have been grabbing the arm I want with my opposite arm and then I grab the opposite collar of my opponent with my free hand. Then I work my legs up high around their torso and pull there collar down to get there head out of the way and to create the momentum to get the angle I need to execute the arm bar. It has been working pretty well as long as I get my legs high enough because it is much faster and less obvious what I am going for. So thats pretty much it for tonight hopefully things will keep moving along well as its much more fun when things are working than when they aren't.
