When people try to Darce me off of the underhook I stall it by kinda clamping my arm down and then reach through to grab their far foot with my free hand, which I then pass to the underhooking hand for an easy sweep

Gonna dig a bit deeper into the suggestions above too and study the position a bit deeper I think. I've been working up my coyote game and get head choked all the time. You have to be tight and in the right spot. Timing and off-balancing too so they can't clamp those hands. To me, not something you can really get right without the reps and the failures. If it's all correct, you can actually just roll over sweep and free your head from the top. Taking them over the backside with a hip grip also seems to happen but idk if that's bad on bad grappling or a legit strategy.

In my experience the key to avoiding the d’arce is to grip a tight waist grip, anything higher and with any type of separation makes it easy for them to slide the arm under. Also really turning your hips around the corner when your shoot the undertook a la Lachlan Giles. I’ve been focusing a lot on deep half sweeps off the far side wrist control, guys love to bring their knee onto your bottom wrist/arm and it makes it super easy to shoot underneath them. X guard and waiter sweep transitions as well

Is there a video or anything od Giles turning his hip on the underhook? I noticed lietes doing "something" when he underhooks but he doesn't talk about it. Something not the obvious knee hook or anything. He takes an angle or position

I've been working a lot on half guard lately and one area I've been running into trouble with is while entering into half guard people will often go for a knee slice, and I can usually prevent them from completing it and come up on a single leg from there. But sometimes there are people who are really good at backstepping and once they feel me shut down the knee slice and start working up they'll backstep into leg entanglements or it'll turn into a scramble. So yeah basically how do you guys deal with the backstep off of a failed knee slice?

I will anticipate and hook my outside leg ankle under their trapped leg usually at the ankle/shin with foot to the inside and knee to the outside and then use my inside leg to hook over the top of the trapped leg so that the leg is still pinned between my legs. When they backstep, they will not have my outside leg between their legs. On the contrary, I'll elevate their leg using that outside leg under the ankle and come up on them. Don't know if anyone else does that but that's my shut down. lol that's great and what's better is i can actually sort of see it in my head since half guard is the only half decent game i have.

Yeah, that pretty much matches my primary way of fighting the reverse half guard, although I don't really have anyone who attempts leg entanglements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMkAZCbUN18 I also kind of agree with these guys, backstepping against the modern berimbolo/inversion meta is significantly riskier than it was 10 years ago. Ankle and lower lapel entanglements are how my old instructor stopped it.

I think I get this -- I've been trying to use my inside leg as a hook under their ankle to elevate their leg as they backstep so I can come up on them more easily but it doesn't always work especially if they stay tight to my outside leg, which your method addresses. Will give this a try.

Your inside leg is over the back of your opponent's trapped leg as in half guard and your outside leg has a butterfly hook inside his trapped leg thigh like a butterfly guard. Now move your outside butterfly hook to his ankle. Keep the inside leg that is over his trapped leg pressuring down on the leg. Yuns fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Feb 1, 2020 |

I'm having a lot of trouble with pre roll nutrition. I find theres a limited window where I can eat and a load of poo poo repeats on me (I've never had this issue with other sports so maybe its a function of your guts being squat up and poo poo too?). This morning before early no gi I just scarfed down a bannana and I honestly thought I was going to throw up after a few 5 minute rounds. Anyone have a go for a snack or use protein powder or anything like that for sustenance while training?

If you're training in the morning just go fasted. For evening or afternoon training I like a 3 hour gap between last bite and stepping on the mat.

I am a 7AM morning class dude and usually go in fasted or having just had an Emergen-C. Coffee after class, then breakfast around 11. If I go nights, I'll eat something around 5 just to take an edge off the hunger, then class at 7, possible double up at 8, with chocolate milk after and maybe some eggs when I get home. Sundays we have a session at 11:30 and I'll usually have some eggs at 9 to take the edge off the hunger as I can't wait until 1:00 when we're done to eat if I'm spending 90 mins training in there.

Cyber Sandwich posted:In all seriousness, something starchy or packed with carbs with a little fat should be easy to digest. If you're not Yuns give your body plenty of time to work it out. Sports fitness standard is 2.5 hours before competition since I last checked but go with how your body responds to time. I like to aim for 1/3 - 1/2 of a meal before exercise if I eat.

Before a 6am class I’ll have a sugary coffee and an apple with a bit of peanut butter on it. That’s enough that I don’t get dizzy but not so much that I feel nauseous. Then I eat a normal breakfast about an hour after training. My gym are expanding their morning classes and I’m thinking of dramatically increasing my training volume. Currently doing 3 per week, no weights, easing in after a rib injury 4 months ago. Adding 2 more training sessions and 2 weights sessions. Weights will be a relatively chill 5/3/1. How many weeks should I spread that increase over? I’ve read that you’re particularly prone to injury when you dramatically increase your training volume.

Then I eat a normal breakfast about an hour after training. I've trained BJJ 6 times this week, seven times last week. I'm getting back into it after a less productive month (sick, x-mas, etc). I suggest adding a single class to your schedule: so do 4 classes in a week instead of 3, and see how you feel by the end. If I add classes, here are some of the results I get one or more of the following: The extra class is especially tough The subsequent class is especially tough I'm feeling extra worn a few days later or at the end of the week Nothing-- no adverse effects at all I'll gradually add more classes as my body permits. I don't mind if I train a bit less in a week, so long as I make up for it later. What you really want to avoid is an injury that hinders your schedule or prevents you from training altogether. So take it easy. The more classes you attend, the less important it is that you roll every opportunity. Sitting out those last two rolls can make a big difference when I plan on training again less than a day later. If you do get injured, stop loving rolling. I learned only very recently that BJJ is actually super fun even if you don't roll-- ask someone to drill instead.

I now hold glorious Nippon Gold and Bronze after this tournament in Japan (went 1-0 in weight class and 1-1 in open weight). First match the guy pulled guard which i stuffed into half guard. Then worked my leg out and got mount. From there I worked in an Ezekiel choke for the finish. Open weight I got stomped by a 100kg guy (1 or 2 weight divisions above me). I pulled guard which he avoided but stood standing in my open guard (feet on hips). I snaked a leg to get a triangle but he blocked so i swung up and grabbed a leg. From there he got the front headlock seatbelt grip which I stupidly did a peek through right into a guillotine. For the bronze match I faced a guy who went before me and he went super long and looked gassed at the match we had. He pulled guard which I sat into. From there I worked to break the grips and broke his legs (which he was squeezing super hard) open to take half guard. I really really tried for a plastic bag choke but he slipped his head out so I went chest to chest and again worked to free my single leg in his guard. From there I took side position and waited for a bit due to just feeling super overworked/going to fast. I felt his outside arm go for the underhook so I transitioned to a kesa gatame and essentially sat there while he struggled. When he stopped trying to buck me off I took the opening he gave and went for a scarf choke whih he tapped to pretty quickly. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Feb 2, 2020 |
