I’ve been struggling with an injured ankle for the last month or two and have really started to lose the confidence in my armbars from mount particularly after rolling with the guys from the advanced class who I very rarely manage to get off my back against let alone get mount on I decided I needed to develop my submissions from side control and start to look for a new go to sub from mount.
So after the last few weeks I started trying a few different things including how I transitioned from side control to mount as I seemed to getting caught there as well.
First of all with the side control to mount transition I looked up a few videos and looked at getting a scarf hold into mount.
After trying it out a few times getting them in the scarf hold seemed to be the main problem I think I need to work on it with some less experienced guys first. The one time I did manage to hold it he bridged and rolled as soon I went over so all in all it wasn’t an ideal experiment. I did get to have a chat with one of the 4 stripe white belts who got me to work on the much simpler maintaining a good tight side control with knees in tight then sliding the knee across their stomach. I had been doing it before but I think I had been getting a bit slack with my transitions lately trying to rush myself into mount.
I have also been working on my subs from side control but have really struggled to find something new that I like so I started to work on the Ezekiel choke from mount which I have started to become really impressed with. It’s a choke that isn’t typically taught at the gym. I haven’t placed it properly in a roll lately due to shortness of my sleeves its a real pain to get it on quickly. I am going to buy a longer gi when I go to singapore next week hopefully.
I only just found this video and really it made the move alot clearer and showed me how versatile this move is I am really looking forward to rolling with some less experienced guys to really work on it properly.
I have a fairly big training session tomorrow running from 5pm to 9pm first fundamentals jiu jitsu then Judo which I have never done before but after getting hip tossed on the weekend I think I really need to give this judo stuff a go. I have the advanced class after that which I am really struggling to get through due to a few injuries.
