Class #1217
Jugendhotel Wiederkehr, Lilo Asensi, Wagrain, Austria - 05/01/2020
First Lilo ran through a proper omoplata, then into escapes. The basic roll started it off, then a shoulder roll to the inside shoulder, a bit like an invert roll. You continue spinning around their leg.
İf they do that one, you can underhook and swing your leg over on the same side for another omoplata. Finally, if as you try to roll for your escape they block your hips, reach for the arm and kick through into 'diamond guard'. That opens up the triangle, armbar etc.

04/01/2020 - BJJ Globetrotter Camp | Winter Camp 2020 | Lilo Asensi, top half guard subs
Class #1214
Jugendhotel Wiederkehr, Lilo Asensi, Wagrain, Austria - 04/01/2020
Sneaky wristlock when they swim for underhook. Squeezing arms together choke, my arms aren't long enough so wrist ends up in weak position. Then typical kimura, worth noting she always bases with elbow a bit above theirs, rather than behind the head.
Finished up with a straight armbar from there. Giles had a variation where he tenses bicep around it, other arm with your elbow way out to push straight down. Sakuraba option, apparently. Mike had some wristlock details too.

31/07/2019 - BJJ Globetrotter Camp | Heidelberg 2019 | Lilo Asensi, ballerina pass
Class #1177
BJJ Globetrotter Camp (Olympiastützpunkt Rhein-Neckar) Lilo Asensi, Heidelberg, Germany, 31/07/2019
Ballerina pass. Step to their same side ankle, blocking with your shin. Your other leg then gracefully steps across to the opposite hip, carefully placing it there like a ballerina. Then, knee on belly. You can also pressure your ankle leg shin outwards into their knee, pinning it slightly.
There should hopefully be a full vid up on the BJJ Globetrotters in action site, also including a super fancy spin into an armbar. Beautiful! Links nicely to Brad and Christian passing classes, Greg Wood taught a similar one too.
Afterwards, awesome roll with Lilo, need to keep working my running man, I'm still leaving that back take way too open.

Class #1026
BJJ Globetrotter Camp (Olympiastützpunkt Rhein-Neckar) Open Mat, Heidelberg, Germany, 14/08/2018
I'm a big fan of Lilo's classes, she doesn't do long lectures. Her classes pack in lots of technique in a flowing sequence, each chunk emphasising the overall position. This time round, that position was one I've never used, the gogoplata. I hadn't realised that was such a useful platform to apply multiple armbar variations, as well as the gogoplata choke itself.
The sequence begins from a standard armbar. You're looking to do the usual legs over etc, but can't quite lock the position. Swivel and turn your leg, so that your foot is now pressing into their neck, your knee pointing away and close to their body. Keep control of their arm. Wrap your arm over the top so the wrist is in your armpit, then angle inwards for the submission (a sort of americana).
If they are starting to pull free, you can try and gogoplata them instead, reaching behind their hand to grab your foot. It's a throat crush though, so not a submission I'm keen on. I prefer the option of using that to sweep them over. You can then swivel your other foot in to cross over their neck and submit them from there.
In the guard, you can also swivel both feet in for the armbar. Alternatives are turning to lock your other leg over. Swivel and turn the top knee in to return to crossed feet, or switch legs and continue the spin to your leg over on the other side. To adjust, you can stick one foot into a spider guard position and bring the leg into locking position from there. That becomes a flowing drill, though I need to double check the videos again to get it in my head.

23/08/2017 - BJJ Globetrotter Camp | Heidelberg 2017 | Arm Triangles (Lilo Asensi)
Class #884
BJJ Globetrotter Camp (Olympiastützpunkt Rhein-Neckar) Lilo Asensi, Heidelberg, Germany, 23/08/2017
Lilo's class the morning after her first was on arm triangles. They are framing into your neck, pushing slightly. Make a 'v' with your hand (useful tip from Jeff Knight here), creating a firm wedge. Put that just under their elbow, then use the force vector (thanks Josh!) to drive it across. As soon as you have that arm across, jam your ear into their arm. Bring your other arm around their neck, then on that other side, push your shoulder into their neck too, everything tight (a tip from Daniel Bertina this time, who was being Lilo's uke).
Wriggle your legs over to the other side, then move round to a perpendicular position. Slide your hips down into the choke. If they block, you can move to the back. You have their neck in the crook of your elbow. Lift them up and transfer your arms, then adjust into that arm triangle again. If you are going for leg drag but they push into shoulder, you can knock the arm, slide down into the choke. If they press into the other shoulder, you can jump into an armbar, hooking your foot into their armpit. If you have them in closed guard, you can sit right up and put on the arm triangle grip, or maybe do it from lower. Then butterfly hook, knock them over to mount and back to the arm triangle.

22/08/2017 - BJJ Globetrotter Camp | Heidelberg 2017 | de la Riva sweeps (Lilo Asensi)
Class #883
BJJ Globetrotter Camp (Olympiastützpunkt Rhein-Neckar) Lilo Asensi, Heidelberg, Germany, 22/08/2017
Lilo is one of Ana Yagues' training partners in Hamburg: both of them are cool Spanish black belts teaching in Germany. Lilo also taught a similar position as Ana did back at the Bournemouth Camp, focusing on de la Riva. I always make a beeline for classes taught by female black belts, as they are invariably smaller than the men teaching. That means they are closer to my body type, so their games tend to fit better for me. Lilo proved that to be true once again, especially as she was an excellent teacher. Even though her English is still developing, she got her points across clearly and memorably.
Beginning with the usual sweep where you pull their arm under their leg and then grab their shoulder to roll them over, Lilo continued to build. If they post with their arm to prevent the roll, grip their other arm and shift over, kicking up into a triangle. If they free both arms, you can go behind them, reach for their leg and kick into the back. If you can't reach that other leg when you move behind them, push into the back of the first leg, then grip their far leg and roll over (this is known as a 'baby bolo', apparently).
