  10. i frequently use the sit up sweep variations when i roll, but i prefer the sleeve feeding grip over the lapel feed. i learned the hard way not to feed the lapel grip against heavy knee sliders. during a competition i went for my sit up sweep, but couldnt get the sleeve grip so i fed the lapel grip. my opponent charged forward with a knee slide, pinning my hand between his leg and the lapel. i broke my hand and tore ligaments in my middle knuckle 30 seconds into my first match doing a sit up sweep variation. SO BE CAREFUL….i have found the sleeve grip to be safer and more effective

  14. On thing I find particularly cool about the Shin/Spider vs DLR/Spider is the long-term knee effects. Shin/Spider seems much more forgiving on the shin side knee, as opposed to the DLR knee in DLR/Spider. Research is coming out and showing that DLR is the cause of a lot of injuries in the long run.

  20. Although I would agree the "sfuh" (single foot underhook) is highly advantageous, it appears she's using more of what we call the "treehugger" position whereby she sits up and holds onto a single leg. This position is rrrrrrrreally f'n outstanding. We teach several techniques in our school from here. Excellent video and break down!

  21. I tried the shin on shin sweep today!!! So far so good!!! Did it successfully for few times? I'm gonna have a good night sleep tonight! Thanks for posting the video?

  23. What are some ways to get to shin-to-shin on people who play a tight "leg compress/smash" game? At purple belt some people are really good at it and I can't get back to my shin-to-shin set ups.

  25. What program do you use to annotate your videos? It is a great teaching tool for video of fellow students and myself when we film our rolls. Thanks for taking the time to illustrate, I have already been a subscriber to your channel!

  26. Seen this countless times.  Puts me in a good frame of mind.  Up my game ten fold since I first saw it.  Thanks!!   :))

  27. So awesome!!! As a brown belt with crappy knees, I love the sit up / shin guard game so much more than the DLR, thanks for this video!! And what's the name of the song?

  30. Man, your vids are SO legit. I've been implementing Lo's guard/SLX and Adam's butterfly guard game. So good. Looks like another one to throw in the arsenal. Keep em comin!

  33. Wow! I have been playing a variant of this guard, where instead of going for the elevator, I roll in between opponent's legs to back take. But Michelle's method seems to work against knee slice very well! Thank you!
