Main Class
Building Height with Thumbpost
Go over good butterfly positioning for building height from mid-range and why.
Go over the thumbpost and running over opponents.
NOTE: Person getting run over, go to one side so you don’t go over your heels and pull something.
Building Height and Guillotine
Build height and thumbpost, but they react by coming back in. Collar tie to snap down/pull them into your opposite side armpit for a guillotine. If you can get your legs away and get to the front headlock, great. If not, you can still finish the guillotine sitting.
Go over the high wrist guillotine.
