pyramid fail options

[Eddie Bravo]

Abort rg to lockdown but make sure you snag the underhook on the way

Rodeo grip (grapevine grip..master blaster grip) to triangle or butterfly sweep to mount.

Thanks Brent, never seen that grapevine grip before. As the guy stuffs that knee from pyramid his hand is almost in place for that also. Worth some playin. Always like this guys vids!!!

I personally would probably abort the overhook and go for the under (shouldnt be hard if hes hugging your knee with his other arm) Then go for the lockdown by straightening my butterfly leg. But thats coming from a white belt, so Im guessing thats probably the 10th best option out there lol.

Or maybe 9th

That video looks a lot like Eddie's options by using "The Stick Shift" "Classic Jean Jaques 101" MTS 46: The Bridge (26:00)

I catch the grip all the time. Its very easy to get and its super strong. He grabs it thumb up kinda stick shift style but you can also get it thumb down

I noticed that too once I rewatched the video. Very similiar.

Not suprised, that kid has copied a bunch of other peoples videos.

yeh, good call chronic!! I didn't want to go backwards, but if you go back with double unders, is it really going backwards??

With all of the material in the technique videos there really is no need to post other people's video. Look it up in the MTS guide first. Or ask where it is in MTS. But Eddie pretty much has it all there. I must have watched those technique videos 5 times over each. I still find new things, in each of them, when a conversation on here points me back to an episode.

Idk.. I think it would be hard for me to say we could find all of our answers to jiujitsu in the less than 50 episodes that have been released up until now. You have to think.. every time Eddie makes a new video, he is going over new techniques that he hasnt yet covered in the past. Dont get me wrong, I love the MTS episodes, but I also find Marcelos videos just as informative. As well as many other online instructionals from varies practitioners. We cant expect Eddie to have a tutorial on every possible move from every possible situation. Id say he does a perfect job of addressing things that are probably most important. But at the same time, when it comes to specific scenarios like this one.. You might as well look as many places as you can. No reason to limit yourself to episodes that are geared toward showing one or two specific options (hes only got so much time), rather than EVERY possible option.

Though I agree, there have been multiple options presented on this site that would work great. (But Im sure there are plenty of others out there that he hasnt had time to get around to yet)

Why use only one source when theres so many out there? Eddie knows his stuff but what episode does he go over exactly what Greg is asking (pyramid options besides meathook or rubberguard)?
