Notes

• If Jean Jacques Sweep in both directions don’t work, the pyramid should be open when he bases out.

Notes

• The overhook is everything. Need to work on making sure that it is tight.

Notes

• Keep your head pressed into opponents heart.  Any lower, you can get caught in D’arce Chokes.
• When you are ready release the lockdown, do a leg curl with the leg that is still hooked with his so that you bend his leg towards your butt.  This helps aid the sweep.

Notes:

• It is important to jump up in one motion if at all possible.  Rest your weight on his upper back and then spring to your feet in one motion.
• One of your knees/inner leg must rest up against your arm wrapped around his neck, while the other must land by his hip.  Your leg that is over his head should be at a 90 degree angle to his body.
• Fall to the side and put your leg closest to the hip over his back to stop the roll.
• The neck crank and choke is a combination of pushing his head with leg on top of his head and pulling with your arms.  Your leg should act like you are kick-starting a motorcycle.

Notes

• I had to make sure that my leg that was across the belly was actually more across his chest for it to work well.
• After you grab the toes, you will rainbow his leg almost over your head.

Notes:

• Arm should be around the neck so that you don’t see any hairline showing.
• Your legs, when it guard, should be pulling his body up on top of you, while you are forcing his head and chin down with your arm.
• To finish, do a side bend in the direction of the side where his head is.  That side bend, along with the squeeze should force the choke.

Notes

• If you don’t have long arms (like I do), you may not be able to grab your arm to cinch the choke.  Escape your hips to give you that extra reach.
