The Under Hook Escape is a must know stand up for any martial artist. For MMA, half guard can be a strong top position to work from, which makes escaping important. Using the power of the under hook, you can work your way up to your feet and often times come up with a better position or a well timed exit strike.

One of the key things to keep yourself out of danger is to make sure that you can keep your head safe by either staying under his chin or on his temple.

The Under Hook Pin is a great way of attacking someone from top half guard for MMA, as it gives you an easy to setup pin with a good angle for elbows.

This particular pin is a short lived pin, but the good part is that you can just keep doing it over and over. We also have a secondary option with the under hook pin, which allows us to pass the guard right into the crucifix pin. This is a must have tool for every fighter’s arsenal.

This is one of my favorite ways of pinning someone from top half guard!

It is easy, and comes right off your passing game. When done right, it can also lead into a guard pass and an even stronger pin – the Crucifix.

This is just one of the pins that we cover from my brother’s instructional course, MMA Pins. If you want to see more awesome pins like this, make sure to check it out below:

The Snatch Single is a great take down for people who don’t like to expose themselves to risk. Dropping to your knees can be dangerous, as you expose your head to chokes, head locks, and strikes that can end you.

The Snatch Single avoids all that by keeping you on your feet and simply “snatching” your opponent’s leg off the ground. As I have gotten older, this has become more favorable for me and my chitty chitty bang bang knees, lol!

The Under hook comes in really handy for this setup, as you will already be under your opponent’s arms – which is the major obstacle in all shots. Check it out!

I shared some highlights of my match with Todd Margolis in my Grapplers Quest Debut on Instagram, and got requests to review the whole match.

You ask, I deliver. 🙂

Here is a break down of the whole match, and as you will see, under hooks were my key to victory.
