  1. Not sure if I did it wrong or what but I got ankle locked when I did this. are ankle locks a big threat in this position? Also would the guy on top be able to pull one leg x or deep half in like a sub only situation? Im just curious. Im gonna keep playing with the position to get it down

  2. Worm guard sounds so sneaky and weird. Human evolution has taught us not to trust in weird or sneaky things. I would've called it the salubrious guard. Something very positive and comfortable.

  6. I'm 6'5" 195lbs and I've been looking for a good way to kill the knee cut pass. This is working great for me! Question though, is there any way they could spin backward and kneebar your right leg from that position?

  9. It was taught to me today, I think it is a very good technique, but I found some difficulty on switching hand after the opposite leg because of short lapel that left.

  14. I cant train anymore do to injuries so i cant try it, but the counter seems to me would be the same as the de la riva counter. Assuming my right leg was trapped, i would take a semi circle step backwards with my left, while laying on you with the right side of my body. With your left leg now between my legs, I could go for a knee bar. Or i could bring my right leg next to your leg and get a reverse kesa gatame.

    Also, if you know its coming, as you as feeding the lapel through the legs, someone can catch your forearm in between there hamstring and calf by sitting down. Enough pressure makes some people tap. If not, your hand is free for a wrest lock there. Its something not done/looked for in bjj, but I learned it in either, catch, shooto (the art), or silat.

  16. I tried, it works, but for me, it's not worthy, takes too long for only a sweep as I felt uncomfortable to submit from this position, after you sweep you have to pass the guard yet, I'm a guard player, I'm supposed to be lazy. Anyway I'm going to practice it and see if it works with the heavier and the higher graduated training partners.
