Leglock friends/satanic reap beasts. You know when you take high mount on somebody flexible, and they invert behind you, and use their feet to try and knock you off the top? Is there a leg attack of some kind that I can hit off that? A few people at my gym do it by putting their feet in my armpits. I can get a grip around one ankle (leaving one of my hands free to post) but I can’t work out a way to damage the foot from that angle/grip. It’s like a straight ankle grip but upside down.

I feel like you could relatively easily dismount to a number of ashi positions

I'd be interested in a counter to that technique too. I thought about trying belly-down ankle locks in response but it doesn't really work for me.

The back roll escape? You can try to get a toehold in the scramble, but really the answer is to just be in S mount if you're that high so they can't try that poo poo in the first place.

The problem with trying to hit a leg lock from that is that you can get a grip on the leg but you don't have inside position with the legs i.e. you have no leg control position. You'll have to transition into one in order to submit.

It would be a little earlier in the sequence but if you block the leg when they try to hook it in, you could transition to a cradle hiplock.

Toehold? In the alternative, you've got mount, so just flattening out and waiting for them to calm down so you can continue to grind them into dust in mount is always a good thing.

Thinking out loud, you have no real mechanism of injury even if you had an ideal grip, because you have nothing that's constraining their hip/knee structure. Without control, there's nothing preventing them from escaping the submission attempt.

If you wanted to get really crazy...

What would your preferred solution be if somebody tried that mount escape on you?

I tend to go from low mount to high mount to s-mount, but I lose it at high mount. Maybe I should be trying to establish the prerequisites for s-mount before I put my leg over.

A pair of bendy blue belts hassle me with it, it must be working on somebody. My gym is... not world class. I’m not getting swept but I am getting annoyed. I was hoping for a way to punish the habit, in the same way you would footlock a person who crosses their feet in back control, or von flue a person who won’t let go of a failed guillotine.

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
Stating the obvious here probably but it helps me so much to think about techniques after class. The thing is though it doesn't need to be extensive- just once before bed, zoning in the car, whatever. Just thinking about the technique once for 5 minutes can be the difference between it becoming part of my game or forgotten forever.

Part of the reason BJJ interests me and keeps me engaged is because of how much it touches upon the tactile and visual learning elements in our brains. I've always been an incredibly adept auditory learner. Languages, speech patterns, facts and figures, even just hearing a concept explained vs it being illustrated has always been easy for me to deal in but I probably have a decent deficit in the visual area. BJJ challenges that aspect for me.

Anyways enough boring xanga posts about bjj, it's just something I think about quite a bit considering how I'm inclined.

I'm pretty sure I have hit this exactly once on everyone that has mounted me up to the brown belt level because they do not assume I'm a bendy boy. it does not work twice.

The one that annoys me is when people try to invert when you're in north-south. Because the counter to it is just smashing the hell out of them. It's like, okay, if you insist...

There's a brown belt at my gym who can hit these kind of escapes or get to the inverted triangle fairly reliably, but he's freaky flexable and has the approximate proportions of Slender Man.

When someone does this I do the grappling equivalent of headbutting them in the balls and humping their face, except not an equivalent because that's literally what I'm doing to flatten them back out

Interestingly the person using this escape has a better opportunity to leg pummel into a leg lock control position than the person on top. I would prefer countering with an upper body attack first. Lean forward and cradle their head with one arm pulling it up into your chest as an initial reaction to the attempt.

Thread needs a bump so i have a question about a video.

Guy at the gym said that he saw this old black and white footage of fat hairy guys in speedos catch wrestling vid on youtube, but he couldn't find it again. The technique was some kind of chest-spreader pectoral crank thing, done from guard, somehow.

Does this sound familliar to anyone?

Are you sure the dude was watching :airquote:catch wrestling:airquote:?

Also, the saddle is a legit as gently caress position. I managed to catch 4 heel hooks and a kimura on a purple belt who is much better/stronger/more dynamic than I, all because he was super lost in the saddle position.

You got me a gunrack?!? I don't even own a gun, let alone alone enough to nessecitate an entire rack.
Question for the leg entanglement people/How'd I manage to injure this guy:

I had an outside ashi position against my partner's right hip (Not 50/50). He was on his left knee and right foot (the side I had outside ashi on) with the foot against my left hip. I had some control of the right ankle. I went to bump him to his right with my feet on his right hip (My left foot over my right ankle with the the lateral side of the right ankle against his hip) and popped his knee.

Was this a freak thing or carelessness on my part? I assumed bumping him to his right side would get him to collapse to that side without putting the knee in danger, similar to a single leg x sweep.

I thought it was the same principal as a waiter sweep or single leg x sweep.

JaySB

Typically in waiter sweep there's no weight on the leg of the side you're sweeping to. In single leg x the knee isn't immobilized by both your legs being crossed over it and you're pushing them more back than left or right.

Unless I'm wrong. Either way, the knee isn't really meant to take a ton of lateral pressure.

I think you're right. I can't remember the exact position but I don't believe I was trapping the knee between my legs but it was definitely less free than in either of the two mentioned sweeps. drat.
