Introduction to Plan B
Plan B is an advanced technique that builds upon the lockdown system. This week's instruction integrates Plan B within the context of previously learned techniques, creating a comprehensive defensive sequence.
Technique Progression Overview
The drill sequence progresses from lockdown to old school sweep, then transitions to dog fight, followed by another old school attempt, and finally concludes with the Plan B counter. Understanding the complete flow is essential before drilling individual components.
Establishing the Lockdown Position
The lockdown begins by circling the outer leg inside the opponent's guard. The inside leg then hooks the opponent's leg, with the instep of the outside leg positioned behind the heel of the inside leg for control.
Securing the Underhook
From the lockdown, the practitioner swims for a tight underhook with shoulders positioned directly under the opponent's armpit. The head stays low while maintaining shoulder pressure to prevent escape.
Executing Old School Sweep
From the underhook position, grab the opponent's foot and execute the old school sweep. The opponent may defend by basing out or opening their knees to prevent the sweep completion.
Transitioning to Dog Fight
When the opponent defends the old school sweep, transition to dog fight position. From dog fight, pull the opponent's knees and feet inward to attempt finishing the old school sweep again.
Introducing Plan B
Plan B emerges when the opponent defends dog fight by stepping out and widening their base. From this stepping defense, the attacker returns to the tight underhook and executes Plan B beneath the opponent's guard.
Complete Sequence Integration
The full progression combines lockdown, old school sweep, dog fight, attempted old school sweep, opponent's step defense, and Plan B execution. This integrated sequence connects multiple techniques into one fluid combination.
Drilling Instructions
Practitioners should drill the complete sequence repeatedly over the coming weeks before advancing to new techniques. Mastering the connection between all components ensures proper understanding and effective execution of Plan B.
