This class was mostly covering shoe horning this sacrifice throw into a few different spots. We looked at forcing it off the Russian tie, off defending a single, etc. Key points were that if I have the option to be on the back of uki’s head with my chest, forcing them to look down at my feet I will take it This often means I will bail on the cuff grip to grab the far side armpit or epaulette. The more on the back of Uki’s neck I can be, the easier it is for me to roll to mount. The more they are postured up strong, the more lateral the throw will finish.
I posted this seminar of Reilly’s a little while ago in the subreddit, but if you haven’t seen it, check it out. It covers much of what we discussed, but more in depth.
