    I’m glad you didn’t edit out the “mess up”… because it’s not really a mess up, it’s just reality. One thing I hate about slow drills without resistance is that it doesn’t work that way when you go live. Obviously the slow drill is necessary but it’s been very beneficial for me as a white belt to ask my partner after a few reps to give some resistance so I can tell what it feels like in a real roll.

    This is a very good demo - last night I took screenshots from another demo of the same move , but when the guard guy pulled the kneeling guy's arm through , I thought 'my blokes just ain't gonna give me that !' But the idea of slipping AWAY from the arm and not needing so much strength is another of those 'Damn - why didn't I think of that ' dodges that I know is going to make a big difference. Thanks !

    @yu-ger-bloob-highway3521 5 років тому +2

    One thing I’ve been having success with is pushing the arm to the side, while still holding his wrist, pushing it up as far as I can and exchanging the grip on the wrist to the other hand, at this point I bridge to the weak side and already have an arm isolated across his body, pinning his elbow there with my chest. Just lift the pressure slightly and briefly and pull the wrist behind their head more and more without letting their body rotate (use grape vine) and you keep cranking. The pressure your weight on their elbow creates will cause them to choke themself out with their own arm. This only works if you are very strong and are able to apply some muscle to pulling that arm behind their head while bridging. Because I’m much stronger than most in my own weight class though, it works very well for me. Great vid though. Very helpful and I will try implementing these as well.

    @thomasryeeriksen8429 6 років тому +8

    Very nice! I have done this combination several times, but oddly enough never had anyone break it down for me like this. Great to enhance the details, i will definitely drill this specific sequence - with ur grips, I reckon they are better (ive usually done the standard arm drag, but this looks better). Troubleshooting: Against strong opponents they often drive back into me even without getting their arm out to flatten me out - i then sometimes use that momentum to get the flower sweep - but it depends alot on right timing and right energy. Any tips on how to increase the success rate on that?

    • @TheGrapplingAcademy
      @TheGrapplingAcademy  6 років тому +3

      TO get the flower sweep more often stay tight against their arm with your belly and if they defend the sweep then go back for the backtake.

It's hard to understand just how many moves there are, and each move has 3,4,5 or more counters. Which in turn has many counters to each counter. I can train for 20 year's and I still won't know even half the moves.
