I been going to class now for 3 weeks, and i do pretty good, but heres a question thats been eating at me, when we roll we start on our knees and whenever i roll with my instructor he leads with his right hand out to the side of me, i figured he does that to distract me so i lose concentration, then as soon as we make contact he goes to the turtle position.
Now when this occurs i do a few different things, first off i wrap one arm threw his neck ala headlock, then i grab my other arms bicep and try for the anaconda, he always blocks it, but that doesnt bother me soo much cuz i get him outta the turtle position then. i also try to sink in my hooks by mounting his back, but usually i get one in, then when i have his wrist i try to squeeze in the other and he bucks me off. The last thing i do is grab his ankle and wrist when im in a sidemount while hes in turtle and try to stretch him out...Im new so sorry if this is a dumb question, I know the smart thing would be just to ask him, but i kinda like the element of surprise when i roll in my class, like i wont go for the moves we just learned that day cuz it seems like that would be the obvious thing to do, so any help would be much appreciated. thanks guys
