Love your grandby rolls and all, but I always did something different on top. Instead of pushing in, I waited to see what they did, if they went forward, I would pull, and throw a half nelson inside the arm then slam the left with a leg clamp, when on the left side, visa versa if they were left handed.. If they pushed back, I would pull harder and then throw them left then throw a half as they braced themselves. If they did a sit out, I would pull to the opposite side, then invert roll and force to a flat position, or throw the half, and lock the leg. No grandby possible when doing this style. If I locked the leg, and had the half in full position I would force a 3/4 Nelson from the sitting position rear, and wear them out for the next period, or pin them in it. As long as the progression to the mat remained, they never called a stalemate. At minimum I grabbed back points. I was taught grandby rolls in Illinois and Iowa. I was taught how to counter them in both those states as well. Half Nelson with a leg hook will counter any grandby roll, as long as you’re strong enough to hold the position, and have enough leg strength to counter when needed. This is why weight training is so important. I did a standing grandby roll in Jr. High and was disqualified in a tournament for a “slam to the mat”. Be careful of the rules in you areas. That standing grandby roll was in Yorkville Illinois against Plano Illinois in 1979. Good teaching on several grandby rolls from different positions Sir. Keep on teaching! It is not only a defensive maneuver, but also an offensive maneuver at the same time. Make certain you teach the counter moves of the grandby roll as well.
wow this is brilliant love the way he dips his head to put guy on top off balance!
