Tuesday: Ground headlock escapes

Passing the guard

        Put hands on their hips, lean back. Make sure they can�t straighten. Sit back, put pressure on their ankles. Keep them from scooting up. Eventually, get into open guard. Get both your arms on the outside. Keep one of their legs in the air and crawl over the other. Stretch out their raised leg towards their shoulder� sweep your right leg behind you in an arc (if you are passing to the left). Use your head to pin down their shoulder.

Knee-in-the-belly

Keep shin across the diagonal of their chest, from their right hip to left shoulder. Sit on your ankle, but have balance. Can put pressure on them as necessary. Various chokes� if they resist, pull up their arm (in the direction they are pushing) and go into armbar.
