No Gi with Ferret

We have continued to work our series that includes the arm bar, shoulder-lock, triangle and sweep. Ferret should be another sick set up this week that is more of our traditional set up, but with a small change. Instead of actually going to the back of the head with the right hand, you sell that you are going for it, then karate chop into your opponent's trapped arm. From there you take your left hand to the back of their head from this you can jump directly to arm bar or jump the shoulders. If both of those fail, you can then move in to the pendulum sweep. The move is slick. Ferret caught me good when he demonstrated it. I was impressed. As you can see it has been almost two weeks since I last trained. I am a half block away from GT at the new job and need to make time to get over there to train.
