Okay, so I got to Shell, now what? Here are some basic things to look to do:
The Telles, a simple shinbox from Shell that functions as a reguard. Great to use when the opponent is biasing to one side and has no decent attachments
Roll through to legs or guard. This can be used when opponent commits one leg directly behind you. Watch out for counter-bolo!
Win a handfight, stand up, pull guard, or reverse with it
Looking for single legs should they move too far towards the top of the clock.
Micro Drills:
Shell Testing - Looking for underhooks and crossface specifically, repommel if broken
Turtle vs Passes - reps
Telles, Roll Through, Handfight, Single Legs - reps
Live Drills:
Warm Up - Handfighting Drills. Fight for 2:1 grip, allow partner to strip it and return to neutral. From Standing, from Seated vs Passing.
