In Pablo's first week he demonstrates some very important controls. You need to make sure your opponent does not cross your center line or they could regain the under-hook and flatten you out. It's important to work from the neck to the wrist while mantaining contact and keeping control of the distance while executing these techniques

  • Wow Pablito makes great elemental tips I forget sometimes

  • @poolboyinla Don't bother with them of course you can ask a million questions to get better and you're right not all BJJ positions are ideal for MMA simply because of the striking involved. Use what works from wrestling, Muay Thai and BJJ for example or any other martial arts combination for the situation and good luck. And by the way you're gonna get hit and busted in MMA no matter what, my friend and coach tells me it gives me character : )

  • @carlsongracieteam I am just asking questions. Whats wrong with that? Aren't students supposed to ask questions?

  • What's up with the techno music now?

  • @poolboyinla big nog never took damage from this position that was his full guard, listen if you don't want to use it then don't. Jesus christ.

  • @carlsongracieteam It seemed big Nog took a lot of damage on bottom before pulling off those submissions though. I don't want my face to look like his.

  • @poolboyinla it would be but if you were controlling his posture, while rocking his base he would not be doing much damage from this position.

    big nog used a similar position to this a lot in mma.

  • @carlsongracieteam It seems like his right arm would be free to punch in this position.

  • @poolboyinla not if your controling his arm and posture.. while being able to attack from the bottom with the space created..
