Options on the Ground

Yep. Like I said, at least I learned from it.

Hey, Te, you ever get those digital pics you took DLed? You should post em’. Unless, of course, we look Mechanized Attack Squad.

You pussy. Now, if you had been training nothing but RBSD like ‘The Martialist’ preaches, you wouldn’t have been rolling around on the ground. You’d have eye-gouged his brains out of his skull and then shot a panhandler on your way home. See, proof the groundfighting doesn’t work. Now, someone should lock this thread. :lol: :lol:

MattW: That was REAL pride that caused you to stay mounted as your brain was in denial.
*lol
I’ll take a lesson from that, watch for that, and train smarter, myself. . .thanks!

Heh. Yeah. One of the advantages of being in mount is that you can control leverage. The way I needed to deny him leverage for the choke was by moving. But I didn’t move because I was “in mount” even though part of the advantage of me being in mount was the freedom to move! Really bass-ackwards now that I think about it.

have to look for 'em

So from under the guard position, is it likely that somebody would try a kimura and be successful? And how exactly do you do that move, cuz like I said, the guy didn’t get away with it, so I couldn’t really see how it was done.

How I learned it:

when in guard…

the opp leans his weight back (sits up), you try to perform a sweep by launching your hips up, feet down and put your right hand behind your back while turning and looking back. You then try to sweep by pulling your hips forward and turning to the right…

He stops the sweep by posting his left hand on the mat. You grab his left wrist with your right hand then weave your left hand over his back and under his arm to grab your own right wrist.

then with your legs around him (guard remember) turn your body to the right to get purpendicular and climb his body to get high all the time pushing his hand behind his back like a chicken wing then trying to connect his hand to the back of his head.

Kimura from the closed guard, sans the hip heist sweep setup: http://www.grapplearts.com/Kimura-Technique-1.htm

guilotene on some one in your guard is pretty nasty.

I like the hip heist-kimura combo… And from that position you can also switch back and forth between a guillotine and the other two. There is also a neck crank/sweep from the hip heist-kimura position… Many possibilities.

Wow, ok cool, I see what you mean now. This stuff is so cool, I wish I could cross train this kinda stuff with my kung fu, but I can barely afford that as it is. hehe Eventually we learn that kinda stuff at my school anyway, but you have to go through years of learning your stand up game before they show you anything on the ground…I guess I’m just too anxious to wait, so I watch Pride and UFC and ask you guys about it. hehe
