@@QWEEKEN73 thank you! Using the low knee shield is certainly an option. But, I feel that with a half butterfly (with knee on the chest) or foot on the thigh, it’s easier to keep distance and prevent chest-to-chest connection. Also, it’s easier to get and maintain inside position with the feet. At the end of the day, I guess it’s a matter of preference but I feel this works really well for me. And yes, in this case we are faking the leg entry to expose the arm. But that doesn’t mean we cannot actually attack the legs with the leg configuration we’re using. I hope this helps! Cheers!

@ I see, I see. I’ll play around with it! I’ve been training no-gi more recently, and have found success with the z guard as it keeps your opponent from retreating. Knowing when to switch between the two is a skill.

@@QWEEKEN73good luck bro! Let me know how it works for you.

If that works better for you, then keep doing what you’re doing! Thank you for commenting! 😊🙏🏻

Thank you! To some degree, yes. But as you weave the leg through, there is no control of that far hip yet and that could be a window of opportunity for escaping. Also, weaving it through right away, can give your opponent access to the foot and allow him to push it down/away with his right hand. That too could open up escape options. I’m not saying that you should never do that and I’m not denying that I’ve finished armbars or kimuras with that same configuration you mentioned, but I do feel what Luuk is showing gives me more control. Give it a try and see how it works for you! I also suggest you watch the next video about finishing the choi bar to see what Luuk does next and that could clear up why he doesn’t weave the leg through. Considering the leg placement and alignment on that near hip: I understand your concern, but as you can see Luuk’s hip, knee and ankle are more or less on one line, providing a stable platform to push off from or at least keep the opponent’s hips at a distance, while at the same time giving excellent control of the shoulder and arm. Hope this helps!

@@ceroncia4258 you’re welcome! Taking the back after the escape would the absolute ideal situation. Unfortunately, that just doesn’t happen all the time. But at least we’re not getting choked anymore! 😊
