 Cradle my biggest my biggest challenge is him bellying out kind of basing out and getting flat as he can And me trying to hoist them and fight there. So lay on your left hip All right, so we got this we got this top cradle right here And your side cradle and our biggest challenge when we get here as he gets flat bellies out and bases out It's tough for me You know and everybody wants to hoist and this is real tough to hoist this guy put a good guy on his back Okay, so what we do is we do a little flip-flop drill All right Where I put my head in his hip crease and I do like a front hand spring over the top and then get back to that Position we just did out of our low single defense. Okay, so we're gonna have near side cradle right here I'm just gonna lock this guy up and again. Um, I Stayed an extra day at this camp. I did the first day and then Tom brands and or Terry brands and John Smith did like the second day And I stayed just a watch to get smarter and one thing Terry brands showed the same move for every group for like the whole day But all he focused on was getting his lock on the guy's jawline and how tight it would be on your cradle And I made the mistake of asking him to put it on me and it hurt really bad But it it gave me real good perspective on just what a grip change Locking up a cradle versus securing a cradle and inflicting a little bit of accidental pain can do to making this guy Go flat with his shoulders. So what I want you to focus on. I don't care if you lock Anyway, the only lock I care about not doing is this because this just doesn't work But if you're palm lock your wrist lock your finger lock But I want you to focus on getting some part of your lock on their jawline Right here to make everything nice and tight. So we're gonna go near side cradle get your lock However, you like it however you feel and I'm gonna go ahead in the hip crease right here. Okay, and I'm gonna try pod up I'm gonna go ahead in the hip crease right here. I'm gonna try pot up All right, I'm gonna do a front here spring over the top here and then I'm back to the same position We were in pull everything tight And I circle up to that head and put my belt buckle in the back of his head Okay, so that's that's the that's the correction drill that we use whether I just slap a near side cradle on and can't get it Or I'm getting a near side cradle out of this low single scramble. All right But it's a nice little trick to get that guy's chest to face the ceiling. So I angle step hip hole crunch All right, we're getting back to this position Make sure we're bend to the elbow bend to the knee I'm crunching down and getting my cradle and get my lock I want my lock as close to his jawline as I can take them straight over the leg here And sometimes you'll kick away and belly down and I'll lose that opportunity All right, the hoist does work some but it's still tough because we'll hoist and start to drive And then he'll belly back out and then ten minutes later I've cleaned the whole mat with this guy's side and his hip and I haven't got any points All right, so I go ahead in the hip crease try pot up drive in a little bit Okay, I'm gonna go front hands free struggle top, and then I'm gonna elevate curl Right here. Okay, so that's a good little skill drill and a correction drill for any time you've got a near side cradle We're just gonna do it out of our low single defense questions. We need to see it again Oh, you guys making me work today. I thought today was gonna be easy All right, low single angle step you pull crunch tack that foot some guys immediately come here I don't mind if you come here, but I don't want you stretching If I'm focused on coming and getting behind his ankle here. What did I just do to my leg? It's made it super light. So again, that's why I want to be low crunch Okay, I can attack here. This is pretty good once I get here. He's in trouble All right, lock my cradle up take them straight over the leg and sometimes even if I have elbow The bend of the knee he might beat me here. Don't panic. Okay lock it up nice and tight coming your way Do having the hip crease? Here Nice and tight Again, if I need to hit place don't top here and finish and I can but if we do Knee has to be outside of his ribs Knee has to be outside of his ribs even if you get here You'll never pin this guy trying to drive his knee. It's just gonna keep driving in your chest So I keep my lock nice and tight just lift my chest up let his knee pop out Then at that point it's an easy sag down. I just get wide and heavy
