sweet, something I can try particularly suited for disabled students! I know it's gonna become predictable since I'm new and inexperienced, but finally, a solid plan of attack for me can begin forming.

This is me, i have been getting snapped down by the same guy for weeks now.A lot of people reach out like zombies and try to throw their opponent which opens them up to double and single leg attacks from the knees, duck-unders and snap-downs.
Thanks a lot.Comment

"What sort of stuff would you like to see?"
How about some armbar escapes? I'm always interested in those, since my TKD instructor says there's no defense against an armbar and my BJJ instructor would obviously beg to differ.Comment

I'll try and get some stuff up soon on both triangle and armbar escapes.Comment

I don't want to be a pain but, can we still expect those escapes ?Comment

I'll definately do those escapes. However I'm busy at work and also studying for an exam so unfrotunately I won't get to training until Saturday 24th. I should be able to post the escapes the following week.Comment

Hey, I tried these techniques some in class, and they were working ok in the beginning, but my partner soon started preemptively pulling guard as soon as I got his head to the angle, anticipating my next move. I found it very hard to prevent this if I was using the second technique (i.e. he already pulled the same side knee back and I had to reach across for the other one)
Any advice on this?Comment
-
The only thing I can suggest would be to immediately let go of his arm, control his legs and start your pass. The idea of these attacks was to get the other guy on his back with you on top. If he's pulling guard then you've done your job.Comment

Ah, I see, thanks for the quick response!Comment

how bad is it to start using painfull guard excapes on a guy who keeps pulling guard every single time ? If the ppl you roll with are constantly doing it introduce then to nerve cuting techniques :evil:Comment
-
Painful guard passes are a waste of time - especially on someone who's used to grappling. You should be concentrating on not getting caught in closed guard in the first place, rather than trying to punish the guy because you didn't react quickly enough.Comment

Okay this may sound silly, but in the first technique doesn't this leave you vulnerable to a simple basterdized Nari-goshi, what we simply refer to as a bulldog, since both hands are on the knees with your head exposed and no control of opponents arms. Your pressure is forward which is what I would want, bring my left hand up inside your arm, lock around back of neck, right hand grasp inside of your left elbow or sleeve, rotate into kesagatame to pull you under. Yes I know for everything there is a counter... just looks like you are really leading with the head on the first technique from the distance in the photo. I don't have a partner here right now, suppose to be training tommorrow night, so will try to post pics.Comment

My pressure should only be forward once I have my head against his neck. I have good base so he can't do a snap-down and my arms are tight against my body so he can't underhook or overhook my arms.
I know the counter you're referring to, but because of my base it shouldn't work, especially if I widen my knees. I should still be able to grab your elbow and knee and drive my head against your neck to put you on your back.Comment

Thanks for these basics on starting out from the knees. We get instruction on starting out standing, but so far I haven't had any on starting out from the knees. Without some help like this, the only other options are one of us going to guard immediately, and that isn't much fun. The followup comments on how this position can come up during practice (as opposed to being a set start position) also help.
Now all I have to do is to search and see if you ever got around to posting some pictures of escapes, I really need those!Comment
