00:00 - When trying to do a knee cut to pass the guard, we are often met with a strong knee shield by the guard player. As the top player, to get around the knee shield, we can post on their shoulder and their shin as we step over their knee shield leg putting ourselves in a butterfly half guard. Then, we switch sides and shuffle our feet as we leg drag their knee shield leg. If at any time the bottom player lets their knee drift away from their chest, we can enter the smash pass position. If they are doing the right thing, keeping their knee to their chest, then we will leg drag.

03:14 - Grip fighting is crucial in jiu-jitsu, but many misunderstand what Danaher means by "positive grip play." It’s not just about initiating grips—it’s about aggressively countering an opponent’s grips as well. LIMI gives an example of Gordon Ryan using an arm drag to counter his opponent's scoop grip guard pass to off balance their hands to the mat. This allows Gordon to work into a shoulder crunch before transitioning into the legs. Wrestlers are already familiar with the idea of countering their opponent's grips, giving them an advantage when learning jiu-jitsu.

00:01 - When trapping arms from the back, we have to use our top leg to trap the arm which means our opponent will go into a turning escape to defend. We will need to use our arms to stop the turning escape so our legs are free to trap the arm. We can do this by either being heavy on the top shoulder or taking the bottom shoulder off the mat.

07:28 - Claire is attacking from inside ashi against an opponent in combat base. She cannot reach the secondary leg initially so she takes her toes and points them down towards the mat as a block against the secondary leg. Then, the extends her legs to off balance her opponent, forcing them to fall over her block and allows Claire to get ahold of the secondary leg to enter diagonal ashi and finish the z-lock.

All Highlights

02:20 - If the defender keeps their knee outside the line of their hip and ankle, it can be hard to throw in a reap. However, it often means they have to have their knee inside the line of their hip and ankle with their other leg. From a double seated position with double trouble, Claire takes advantage of this and throws in her reap on the secondary leg.
03:26 - When defending a straight ankle lock you want to put on the boot (flex your toes towards your shin) but this makes you more vulnerable for a straight ankle lock. When defending against a heel hook, you want to toe point but this makes you more vulnerable for a straight ankle lock. The same goes for knee position. If the knee of the defender is facing out, it can be hard for the attacker to get a heel hook but easier for them to apply a straight ankle lock. As the knee turns in, it can be harder to finish a straight ankle lock but easier to get a heel hook. The straight ankle lock and heel hook work well with one another to create dilemmas when attacking leg locks.
04:45 - We can play K-Guard with an achilles grip with the goal of getting to outside ashi. This does offer our opponent a lot of back exposure but the Achilles grip should prevent them from taking our back as we work to finish the straight ankle or aoki lock.
06:38 - From inside ashi, if we cannot reach our opponents secondary leg, we can threaten a toe hold on the primary leg. This can force our opponent into a defensive roll allowing us to switch to cross ashi.
07:09 - From cross ashi without double trouble, we can use a tombstone grip to initially stop rotation. We can then transition to a hand brake to limit rotation as we dig for the inside heel hook.
08:32 - From a high knee shield half guard, Claire is working to attack the far arm. She takes a cross grip looking to set up a choi bar. When that does not work she takes a straight grip looking to transition into a kimura. Eventually, she gets her choi bar grip and she gets the arm bar finish.
09:16 - Claire uses the false reap but Peyton defends by sitting on her butt and countering with a leg lock of her own when they enter 50-50 forcing Claire to retreat.
10:39 - LIMI discusses the closed guard attacks from Claire North. From closed guard, Claire uses the classic guillotine to hip bump sweep combination to get to mount. She also threatens a kimura and as Peyton defends with her second hand, Claire uses it to transition to a trap triangle. She uses the triangle to get the kimura finish. This is a similar concept to how from closed guard, you can use a guillotine threat forced a defensive hand reaction, opening a triangle entry.
