sparring was legit. I sparred Will. He made me feel like a little kid. "glad you're feeling better, spar will" jesus.
It was great

Thursday:
Armbars from mount:
go to S mount. If you can trap both arms, attack the main arm by posting off hand, and swing leg around. Try to finish without falling from top position. If he breaks free, swing around and attack the other arm.

Kimura stomp thing.
Usually comes from guy w/ hands on hips trying to break guard. Pry elbow away and lift that side foot onto hop to keep arm away from body. Get kimura grip. Sling that leg across back once grip is established. Finish if possible. If he posts his leg, grabs pants and traps his hand, you can use that top leg to stomp away while you rip the grip on the pants. Must have explosive movement.

KesaGatame and side control and N/S:
Side. Really sink hips, knee by his hips, other leg sprawled trying to bury that hip on the ground. preventing him from getting his near arm under your sprawled leg to make space. arm near head should try to cradle the head. other arm should be either by his far hip, under his arm, cradling the shoulder. If the near arm exposes itself, push it across, and work for an arm triangle. use body weight to keep that arm trapped while the grips change around.

switching to kesa:
over hook near arm and yank up. step lowest leg under. Try to keep butt on ground. now that switched hips, keep lowest leg bent and on foot, other leg sprawled high above his head, try to tuck your head against his chest to pin. The overhooked arm and hips are the primary method of control. Your other hand can either scoop the far arm or the head.

going N/S. keeping chest contact, use bottom arm to weave under near arm and to opposite side of his head, pinning the arm and amking him look away. your weight will sometimes trap that arm on his face or chest. This can be used to set up the arm triangle, so you can either mount to finish, or go all the way around and start walking around.

Transitioning side/kesa/NS/KoB drilling. on a heavy bag (mma drill). Side, Kesa, side, reverse Kesa, mount, reverse Kesa, side, Kob, mount, Kob etc etc.

Guillotine drill: head on same side, practice hopping to other side to relieve pressure.

standing Guillotine defense: reach arm that is inside up and over his far shoulder. reach outside arm inside his outside leg, get hips in, posture up, slam and land in side control, out of danger.

Then you can work your escape by using shoulder to pressure and post up on his neck.
