DT Club: 1:00 - 3:00 pm. After a warmup of shrimping, pummeling, and some punch defense drills, we worked on a continuation of the punch block defenses, where a bad guy grabs the leg the good guy is trying to kick and defend with, swings it out, and the bad guy crashes into side mount. Bottom guy drills getting back to guard from under the side mount position. From there, we worked the elevator sweep to an eye-peck from mount (part of the women's self-defense aspect) to standing and retreating. After that, we worked armbar from mount, and the Americana some. Focused on making sure the guy on bottom had good hip position. We had open rolling towards the end, and I rolled with an NCAA Wrestler twice. Guy smoked me; I tapped to a triangle choke as I was trying to pass his guard (any help here would be appreciated), and once to an armbar. I started each time in his guard. But it was fun!

Wrestlers are tough. No doubt. I'd guess since he's throwing arm bars and triangles he's trained in jits as well. Now you have an even bigger problem on your hands

Usually, you get into this trouble by letting an arm get isolated by poor posture. Work on your posture. Then, focus on "T Rex" arms and grips on the legs. Prevention will go a long way to dealing with these sorts of things.

If you can, get some video and share. That's usually way easier to evaluate.
