Defending the Underdog Pass

[Jason Mallory]

I just posted this video of Braulio Estima demonstrating a counter to the double under pass. He finishes with a sweet straight arm lock that he does a great job explaining but there is a Triangle right there too !

This goes good a submission I came up with when I was at HQ that I call the Right Angle.

Couldn't you get an omaplata there too? Or at least get to Jiu Claw? Or am I seeing it wrong?

It seems like you should be able to get the omo or claw but I've never been able to figure out how to pull it off. I always went to the submission I call the Right Angle but I will definately add Braulio's tekk to my game.

I don't know much yet so I may be wrong, but it looks like if you grabbed his wrist and brought your legs out from under him like when you do the kung fu move and grab his hip you could end up in Jiu Claw. Maybe?

The problem with that is maintaining control. Whenever I've tried to do that my opponent has a chance to back out and get posture. Then it becomes a bit of a scramble so I always kept the underhook and went for the submission but Braulio's option looks sweet. Especially because the Tringle is right there once you kick your leg past their arm.

Oh ok. I didn't think about it being kinda easy for him to posture back up. That's cool. Thanks!

No problem.

I think the detail for finishing the inverted armbar is just as cool as the setup there is lots of other ways to end up with that armbar and think could it definatly raise the finishing precentage. I know of a butterfly sweep that when countered can land you in that armbar position. You could end up with that armbar in the prison guard transition I think. Cool stuff! good post Jason!
