Core Games
Game 1
Low Side Control
- Starting Position → Low side control
- 1 - Shoulder into your opponent’s cheek
- 2 - Connect your elbow to your opponent’s waistline
- For this wedge feel free to experiment where your hand will go
- 3 - Chest to chest contact
- Although it isn’t shown in the above, try to use your knees to point the person on bottom’s hip in the opposite direction away from you

Objectives
- Top → this game is continuous for this person
- Prevent your opponent from reclaiming the inside position
- Bottom
- Reclaim the inside position on your opponent and escape from the pinned position
- If you can get into a position such as a triangle / armbar after you escape, go for it. Do not finish for the sub. Just get into the attacking position
- what we are building by doing this is getting into the habit of moving immediately from a defensive cycle to an offensive one.
- meaning we move from defending/escaping a position to now attacking a person
- this is a better alternative rather than the usual being attacked then reset into a neutral position
Game 2
- Legs Captured
- 1 - Wrap both of your arms around your opponents legs
- 2 - place your head on the outside of your opponent
- 3 - opponent should be on their ass, shoulders off the mat
- another variation → shoulder on the mats

Different variations of grabbing an opponent’s leg


Objectives
- Top
- Using your hand/heads/forward pressure bring your opponent’s back to the mat
- Walk around their legs
- Go into the side control position from game #1
- Bottom
- You are to prevent the side control position by either:
- Standing up
- Reversing the position and becoming the more dominant player of the game (get to your own side control, get on top with mount or take their back)
Game 3
- Standing To Side Control

Objectives
- Top
- You are to get to the side control position from the first game.
- you do this by getting around your opponents legs, their back flat on the mat and maintaining chest to chest contact
- Bottom
- Your objective is to not get placed into side control & off-balance your opponent with your leg sweeps
- Both of these games are originally continuous, however they can be adjusted based on the learning requirements.
- Lets say you wanted to only focus on your students on passing without getting swept.
- Then the task focus for the bottom player would be to off-balance your opponent with inside leg position and once they get their opponent’s hands to the mats or completely takedown and assume a more dominant position then they would be the winner
