Who Gotch Ya posted:Yes. Somersault calf slice from top half guard is the most baller submission though. I've actually been avoiding demoing this at the club because it works so well I wanted it to become my secret weapon, but since we're all sharing, everyone please try this: Ko uchi makikomi into a sommersault back take (it's basically a twister roll from standing) is the best thing ever. This move is my goto from failed shoulder throws and o uchi garis. Seriously, try this thing. I've been practicing it as: Chest shove>dash in>advancing foot sweep>shoulder throw>ko uchi makikomi>sommersault back take>RNC and it's surprisingly smooth, works off the opponent's natural reactions, disorients and looks amazing.

They don't show the build up but it looks like the other guy was going to commit to something and the attacker timed the drag really well to get him when he didn't have a base.

I've got long legs and closed guard is my favorite position, for a while I was sweeping/subbing everyone with my favorite moves, but all of my regular training partners have become really familiar with them by now (triangle, hip bump, and windmill/pendulum sweep, either off the armbar or when they shift base or try to stand up), and several people have all started using the same pass successfully now.. I'm not sure what the name is, if it has one.. its a kneeling pass where they make space and then bring one of their knees up in front of them towards their chin, so their shin is basically in my rear end. that's the best way I can think to verbally describe it. I know I need to uncross my feet and switch to open guard on my terms, before they force it to happen... but i don't know how and what open guard to switch to. any suggestions would be awesome, hopefully this isn't a dumb question and my description is adequate. Once they get that knee over and I'm forced into half guard I'm totally helpless, I haven't been taught anything from bottom half yet and all I know (underhook, keep legs above their knee) just lets me stall for a while.. and it really loving pisses me off when my guard gets passed

For them to pass your legs using that pass they have to keep your hips low in order to open your guard forcibly, normally this is done by them getting their hands on your hips so they can get their elbows in your thighs (is this what you mean?). Get wrist control faster. I'm small 5"8 and like 160 pounds I roll with guys at least 25 pounds heavier than me, all of them taller, every training session and they all have trouble passing my guard because I'm a motherfucker for not giving up wrist control. If I'm going against someone too strong for me to keep wrist control on then I'll shift my angles of attack and whenever they shift either shrimp to pull them forward and more off balance or move them. The biggest weakness I had when starting out was a tendency to focus on throwing my legs around instead of controlling my opponents posture and wrists and keeping my legs tight when I was moving. You can underhook on arm and use your weight to pull them back into a more solid position if they're keeping your hips flattened and you're having trouble getting wrist control. Try different things to chain together fakes, sweeps and submissions together. We learn the hip bump sweep as a precursor to looking for a guillotine or kimura. Quite often from looking for a hip bump sweep I'll switch to a guillotine (usually the ten finger), or fake a kimura to looking for an omoplata or arm bar from that side. Setting up a hip bump, switching to the guillotine just to make space for an armbar can be fun. It's all about being ready to try for something else when the first idea fails. From the half guard there's some nice sweeps you can look for, you're length will help you with these, cause I'm a small but quicker fucker I like to look for ways to the back from half since a lot of guys don't worry about what my outside leg is going and generally give me space to sneak under an arm pit.

After the first paragraph I was going to say "When that happens I usually switch to half guard and go for a sweep from there". So after the second paragraph I'll say, start working on your half guard  And you can also try to go back to full guard from half guard, because once they're in your half guard, you'll no longer be in the position where they're doing that pass on you and you can try to block it if they try it again once you get back to full guard.

Thanks for the replies. I'll definitely be working on this and I'll keep the wrist control and underhook ideas in mind. I'm getting better at chaining attacks together, last time I used ryan hall's hip bump triangle for the first time and it was beautiful, and there's really good little purple belt at my academy who I like to emulate by always attacking with a deep cross collar grip, threatening chokes with that always seems to set up other stuff. Probably have to start learning some half guard on my own time as well. There's a shorter, stocky built blue belt that has this tight, crushing top game and after I swept him once from closed guard, he avoids it every roll and rushes right into half lol. I managed to take his back once from it but I have no idea how it happened, it just did it by itself. usually I just end up getting smashed for 6 minutes, but even keeping him from getting side or mount is a huge accomplishment for me. I competed for the first time in October and that decision really changed the focus and intensity of my trainig.. it forced me to make a plan (pull guard cuz i can't do poo poo else) and pick out a couple techniques I wanted to work on, and it definitely improved my game a lot. but now that I don't have anything to train for I've kind of reverted back to aimlessly rolling and just having fun. I need to get that focus back but I don't think there's another comp until like March

it's especially ironic because for the longest time the sport was dominated by people that came from the wealthier section of brazil. The people who actually can train two times a day for a non-spectator sport with no money in it. Surprisingly all these brazilian badasses that went abroad to start TV production companies or run tournaments named after themselves were in fact not living in the favelas.

Most of the founding guys were at least what we'd consider upper middle class. Like, Helio had that enormous property with the big house and acreage. I don't think Bjj was that lucrative at the time. Not that they weren't tough or hard workers, or that they were hedgefund rich, but they had the time to train really hard and have very little actual income. Also see: Arona, Ricardo

Carlos Machado dropped out of law school to help establish a network of academies in the US, he was familiar with the language because he had exchanged there earlier and so on. Haha funny you mention Carlos. He is my instructor. Ya I remember someone asked him about lawschool once and he was like, "meh, something to do between training sessions". He was joking around but ya certainly not a story like Anderson or Aldo.

Rickson has such a magical aura surrounding him these days. At least he does for me. Does anyone know how good his BJJ really is right now? Like, are there any pro's that have rolled with him lately that have spoken about it? He's getting old and i wouldn't be surprised if a whole bunch of people are better than he is but still, He's such a mystery.
