I do want to learn other options though because over relying on it kills my thighs after a round or two

When people put me in lockdown I stand up into the scorpion lock thing and I think ‘gently caress you’ while I do it

Tacos Al Pastor posted:Is the electric chairs primary purpose to get to (in order of priority(?)): At the gym, I'm usually just looking for the sweep and pass (#3). That's mostly because I like rolling into the truck from twister side control. If I were more concerned about "winning," I would try to complete the submission first. Some inflexible people tap when I only really want the sweep. There are a couple of super flexible people though that will just do the splits right on top of me. The vaporizer comes from abandoning the electric chair into stoner control. Stoner control is the backup plan for me if they're flexible and start to clear their foot to the other side on their own during the electric chair. I don't usually initiate that. From stoner control, I usually just go into twister side as though I had completed the EC sweep. I've found it hard to maintain the right leg angle to hit the vaporizer when I come up into stoner control and I feel like I'm fighting my own knee positioning too much. I'm also at an IBJJF, pajama wearing gym, so I try not to be too much of a jerk about involving the dark arts of leg attacks.

I like to secure an over/under grip after I sweep with the EC, this lets me kick my inside leg over and smash them into a little ball as I drop the shoulder of doom.

I went HAM on someone in the gym today because he put a headlock using the blade of his wrist across my teeth and drove it into my mouth and teeth. I'm normally a nice guy but if that's the game then I'm playing my full power full speed A game.

Do you guys ever use your shin to pressure a guy's head? It seems like it'd be effective but its so brutal-looking I've never tried it out.

I use the EC to get top position, and if someone tries to break the lockdown, it means they've taken their weight off of me, especially their shoulder off of my face, and I can immediately start working for a better half guard position. Shoulder of justice is pretty much expected at my club. Everyone does it sometimes. Some dudes do it really well. e. and I shin on head in certain circumstances, but mostly as a counter-move.

Nothing is wrong with it, I just am on the heavier and stronger side and I'm sure it's absolutely miserable when I deliver the shoulder of justice. I really try hard not to use my best attributes unless someone is a oval office.

Asking if you should put your shin on someone's head is the wrong question, instead think about how to finish a shinlock with your forehead

One of my main training partners for a long time *loves* to stall with the lockdown to little real effect, so I got enough practice balancing from there that now when I get put there I just happily work my normal top half attacks while the bottom guy huffs and puffs wasting all of their attention and effort trying to sweep me.02-6611-0142-1 posted:When people put me in lockdown I stand up into the scorpion lock thing and I think ‘gently caress you’ while I do it I got a lesson on that in like my second month of training and forgot about it until you mentioned it just now, thank you for the reminder. My gym's in-house Quintet tournament a couple weeks ago was a blast. The instructors set a skill cap of purple belts and below (mostly), picked four team captains, and had the captains draft team members from the pool of people who threw their names in the metaphorical Goblet of Fire with a nominal weight limit that was probably ignored. My entire team got taken out by one guy whose heelhook game was head and shoulders above ours, and after completing the official bracket, it turned into a round-robin for the unexplored matchups because why not. My moment of glory for the tournament and, indeed, the entire year was avenging a teammate who got picked up and thrown around for almost eight minutes by the aggro pro MMA fighter captain on the other team. I sat down and butt scooted towards him while one of the other captains mocked him from across the room for not passing my guard until I could reach his legs, then I snapped on a toehold. Hail Satan. In-house tournaments rule, Quintet format rules, and both together is like chocolate and peanut butter.

Usually you need the threat of the submission to give you the easy sweep.

About three months into my white belt now, today I read a Stephen Kesting article about how white belts shouldn't become fixated on subs that mostly work on other white belts (Americana) and instead develop subs that work at all belts (arm bars, triangles, RNCs). Brought it up in class while we were stretching and all the colored belts smiled like I was suddenly in on the joke  .

I had no business sweeping that guy." I don't know what kind of resistance the brown belt was giving him, but I always feel pretty good when other people report back on moves I showed them to let me know it worked for them.

I got a weird injury last night I can't find any info on, and I was wondering if you guys had any experience with it. I had my foot sideways laying on the ankle on the mat and a dude rolled over it with his full weight so that it kinda folded my foot in on itself. There was an audible pop that felt like when you crack a knuckle. It didn't hurt at first, but now today its a bit sore right around the cuboid bone. I can still walk fine so I figure its nothing serious, but just curious if anyone knew what happened.

It's been a month since I popped my rib. Holidays and travel and baby mean I haven't been able to do anything, much less train, which is probably a blessing in disguise as I haven't really been tempted to rush back. However as I've settled into the routine of the new year this past week I've started to feel a bit antsy and a really missing training. Smash cut to today which is the first day since it happened where I've woken up and felt like I could actually go and train. So I'm planning on giving it another week of rest and then try to go back next week sticking to warmups/light drilling/no rolling for at least a week.

Im going through an "I suck" period again. I get trapped on bottom and am basically a one trick pony resorting to deep half sweeps (although I am getting pretty good about forcing them to happen now). I need to come up with more options from bottom.

Question for you guys(maybe upper belts)): On any type of pressure pass, or a pass where you have the legs locked up, the typical defense is to push the head away. It makes passing a lot more difficult. Whats the counter to that from the passers perspective? What should I be doing to counter the head push??

Getting your head to the other side is a good general response. Can also reposition to lead with the shoulder or hip.

Look at some of the tutorials regarding guard passing when they push the head. Most of them will advocate for circling around to the back, as if they are pushing your head they are on their side and exposing their back. Let my friend BJJ Kermit show you how it's done: https://youtu.be/nkC5gqqg9uo
