19.04.17   Tonight we revised chaining and guard movement patterns before focusing on the oma plata as a sweep and a gateway into open guard training.   The lesson began with specific sport-specific callisthenics and mobility exercises moving into techniques. We then drilled the arm-bar and triangle choke applications to promote flow. We checked and discussed angulating and correct posture. The shoulder stand was covered as a means to help promote a stronger core when executing submissions from guard.   After drilling the oma plata, we looked moving in butterfly guard. This opened us up to applying the technique from butterfly guard and also using the oma plata to transition into taking the back. We also drilled lifting the oma plata, which is a good conditioning exercise for both the attacker and the defender in this position.
