Today's training session was all about drills. We learnt a couple of finishes.
1)
Single leg into a high leg control from the outside and inside. Elevating the leg and stepping in to trip the opponent. See how it works in real life in this video (enjoy the country music soundtrack!)
2)
Double leg, scooting into a good position under your opponent, then lifting and turning them at the same time. Excellent video here.
3)
Double leg driving in a tight circular motion to take opponent down. This is a good driving technique that works when you can't lift your opponent.

Setups: Today we learnt how to fight to get a setup. This works by pushing and pulling the opponent's arms and head/neck. Work hard to off balance opponent and then use one of the setups for the attacks that we've been drilling. Setups and attacks are not enough. We need to create the angle or level-change in order for the setup to succeed.
