We’ve made it through the first rotation of the groundfighting section of Fight Class! Thanks to all who attended. We’ll be circling back to this range of fighting soon enough, but I wanted to document what we worked on this go-round. Below is the list of techniques, some of which link to videos. Not all the videos perfectly represent what we did, but they’re close enough.

1. Passing Closed Guard
   • Under-the-leg Pass: Inside
   • Under-the-leg Pass: Outside
2. Side Control
   • Top: Submissions
     • Key Lock / Americana
     • Arm Bar
     • Kimura
   • Bottom: Escapes
     • Closed Guard Recovery
     • Bump & Roll Reversal
3. Side Control Transitions
   • Transition to Full Mount (Knee on Belly)
   • Twister Side Control to Mount
4. Mount
   • Trap & Roll
   • Elbow Escape to Half Guard or Closed Guard
5. Closed Guard
   • Hip Bump Sweep Progression: Sweep / Kimura / Guillotine
