This week, class has consisted of a.) learning how to heel hook properly from open guard and how to turn/roll with them if they start turning. Basically gotta catch the heel almost like a Rear naked Choke, tight and back. Gotta control the knee and pull it in towards me and step the outside leg close to his hips while falling on my shoulder with his leg. Then gotta keep my knee up so he can't sit up, and arch away! Rolling with him is just that. b.) Also learned how to sweep from Z guard and how to better do a deep half so its not dangerous with triangles. To sweep from z, grips should be hand on open knee and hand on hand over your legs. go like you are doing a scissor sweep so they base out but then pull them over the other side. While doing so, make sure that your knee pushes their arm out and lift on their knee. Eventually switch hips and kick their leg out (and kick your leg out so you're not stuck in half guard!). Deep half is pretty basic this time. Go under their middle if in half guard, roll to the side they are giving you. Go around them if they let you, but if they sit back then make sure to almost "double under" the leg, and bend it so they have no leveerage. so basically gotta bend the knee normally but also bend the leg so that we are opening their hips.
