Just the concept of upper body clamp / lower body clamp and how one frees the other, is gold. Never saw it in that perspective, thanks so much for the content
Michael's insight into using the triangle as a position of dominance instead of a submission has been revolutionary for my game. Going for the triangle arm bar has increased my submission rate by at least 2X.
Anyone have any pointers for this? If you're trying the triangle and they grab a hold of your right foot with their left hand to control and stop it. Should you just move on to the attack of the trapped right arm?
I tried to work on this at the gym today but none of the guys I rolled with (white, blue, purple) ever tried to get the underhook when they were in my closed guard. I tried to give them incentive by grabbing their neck like shown on the video but that didn't help much. I rolled with a brown belt that went for the underhook a couple of times but I failed to control his hip or get the overhook before he put pressure on me and pinned my back to the mat.... Next time, I'll try again 😅
Definitely takes some work to get the overhook. I didn’t want to focus too much on the set up as there are many ways to grab it. But keep playing with it!
I agree with the feet on the hips after playing with it late last year. I usually play half butterfly but I'm not a big inversion to leg lock guy so feet on the hips worked better than 1 butterfly hook and one half guard hook.
I talk about how to deal with this when I transition to the back take. This is by far the most common option I get here. The nice thing is I’ve given up nothing really if I lose the overhook.
@Michaelcurrierbjj the arm drag? Good to know it's common as I thought I was doing something wrong for everyone to be limp arming and pulling their arm out . Thanks for the response.
Not at all this was simply the starting point for the drill. Typically I’m swimming over to establish the overhook or it begins with my feet on hips and they establish the underhook as a means to pass.
All the time, although, they don’t typically “give” the underhook unless they’re attempting something like a São Paulo pass. I like to hunt for that overhook while breaking down their posture with my legs. I can keep someone broken down that’s twice my size with that overhook and a collar tie. Nice set up for the clamp guard and Williams guard.

This is something I talk about in almost every class. Such a simple concept that is super important
It was very eye opening to me too.

I love hearing this! ❤
I'll also echo what others have said about the concept of using the triangle as a means and not an end is an eye opener for me.
Keep coming back for your seminar, so much details and nice approach thank you for sharing❤
Thank you. As another less than large person, I will try this over and over soon
Thanks Kevin! If you need any help with it feel free to shoot me a message on instagram any time.
@@Michaelcurrierbjj Thank you. That is very kind of you.
My shoulder exploded just watching all those Mir locks lol. Great content once again! Thank you!
I was very lucky to have a great uke! Larissa is amazing and super bendy. 😂
This seems like it flows nicely between Williams and Split guard, 🧐
Absolutely. I use this as an entry for Williams often! 🙌
Great teacher, thank you.
Always a great lesson Michael well done.
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awesome details! Been training for a decade and stlll learnt a lot from this, plays well with that Rubberguard pyramid game a lot. Thank you so much!
So happy you found it useful! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Michaelcurrierbjj Ossss 🙏👊

Yeah for sure. I don’t like to fight too hard to free my foot. Most of what I do is low output so I’ll just move on to the next submission
Man I really appreciate the answer. Any particular attack you would go to first in that situation?
Great info. Thanks.
🙌🙌🙌
What shorts is Michael wearing and were can I buy it?
Those were a sample for my brand, but they never went into production. 😢
@ any chance that I can buy this legendary ones? :)
I'm so jealous of old ways of life in Faroe Islands, BJJ is just a cherry on top.
He's a great teacher
Thank you ❤
I love the Dragon ball rash guard the guy in orange was wearing
Is Larissa one of the Faroese students?
Nope. She’s American. Just travels a bunch.

Proud of me i was already doing a lot of this stuff.
I could have never explained it to someone like you did though.
That means so much. Thank you for the feedback! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I really feel it’s the crux of the position! 🙌🙌🙌

He so let her get that Kimura at time stamp 11:01 😂 Great seminar
Haha nope. She’s a beast! 😃
There are still parts of his body that are not covered with tattoos so he's not ready for the carnival freak show just quite yet.
😂😂😂 one day.
I really dig it.
Thanks! I Hope it’s some thing you can use. Feel free to message me any time on instagram if you have any questions!

I didn't know Ryan Reynolds did BJJ.
😂😂😂
Poor girl almost lost her arm a few times lol sheesh
Hahahaha she’s the best. But there were definitely a few scary moments 😅
LMAO, everything I do is wrong... Jeez, have I ever thought that in BJJ. 😂🤣😂🤣
poor lady...good stuff though
Ryan Reynolds .. is that you? .. great seminar thank you!
Not even mad about this comment. 😂
More like Ryan Reynolds had a baby with Ben Affleck
I thought she had no pants on at first
😂😂😂
poor girl very very angry 😂😂
😂😂😂
why the girl doesn't wear pants?!😋
Самая правильная школа: гард отрабатывают разнополые партнёры 🙂.
green pants :)
Starting with the premise they undertook you in your closed guard?!?!? Has anyone in the history of BJJ ever done that?
Not at all this was simply the starting point for the drill. Typically I’m swimming over to establish the overhook or it begins with my feet on hips and they establish the underhook as a means to pass.
