Errr whats to stop the man in side control from stepping over with the topside leg at

:32? From there he can hook the arm that is pushing and drop back to armbar.

Even if the pushing hand is too tight hook,the position will just change to north/south. Turning away almost never works in JJ.

I don't mean anything in a bad way; but please show me where I am wrong and explain?

[budoatemaildotcom]

Fair question, and I agree that turning away almost never works in BJJ. Almost!

Just like any new technique, drill it with a partner and have him work increasingly on resistance as you improve your grasp of the move, then get back with me on whether you think this is bogus or not. No, it doesn't always work, just like lots of BJJ moves, but if you can get his elbow in front of his wrist, you will get mechanical advantage and roll him. It works.

[vidjunkiej]

would this be effective without the gi?

[budoatemaildotcom]

@vidjunkiej If you grab their wrist and press their elbow before they "base back", yes, this can work. Tougher, of course, due to the slight hold you have on that elbow, though.

[budoatemaildotcom]

I have another variation of this video where instead of pressing the back of the top man's elbow with my palm, I hug around the top of his biceps near his shoulder, clamp, and roll. It has been a bit more reliable than the variation I shot in the video.

Thanks for watching and thanks for your comments!

[martinkwalker]

Do you think this will work with no-gi? Maybe just get under the guys elbow?

[budoatemaildotcom]

Yep, but since you don't have as much to grab on, I suggest hooking around the arm and clamping rather than just grabbing his arm.

[Gandp1120]

yeah. he's a blackbelt.

[TimA340]

i like the name though, maybe you can create the pissed off jacket, depressed jeans or the not so happy touque or the jealous socks just saying :)

[jaffar1808]

I did this lastnight at the judo club effective technique! Usually I would need to attempt 2 or 3 sidecontrol escapes including shrimping and bridging just to get half guard. Thanks for sharing buddy

[ProzacPreacher]

love the name of the move

[electronikita]

That actually works

[nocturnal5150]

@kjhinn what about his grip behind your head? any time i have been in that position or had someone else in it, the elbow is really cinched in behind the neck. that seems like a hard grip to break from that position. thnx for the info.

[superwhooper69]

is tat a serious power move like do u need serious strength 4 tat one?

[togisrael]

Also I tried this technique and there was a worker with more heavy from me I improvise after the preliminary change of the transfer of the hand gives spacious time and possibilities that there were not before.

[TheSenseofTouch]

This video is just another exit next to all the many other exits that exist for the guy underneath. Sure, if this doesn't work at the given situation, don't go for it. Maybe half way through the move, you transition to another exit.

[TheSenseofTouch]

Techniques don't work on their own. Even a highly standard mount escape can either work or not work depending on the situation. One can attempt a move and as he goes for it, the other would adjust accordingly; as he adjusts the other would readjust according to the new position. This can go on forever. Situations are constantly changing.
