From the only man more Brazilian that Renato, Ricardo Cavalcanti, this is a way to set up the rear swim move from guard. I haven't tried it yet but does this seem like a plausible setup to more experienced grapplers? Also, would this work no-gi?

Very interesting grip configurations.
I think this guys on to something the way he deep hooks their arm with the head side arm and traps the leg with the other... ;]Quote:

I'd dig for the deep hook well before I try the swim move.
But I really like the way he forces the "armdrag"
I like the tricky way on ending in the arm drag position from the opposite underhook. I go for that opposite under all the time and I guess people have tucked in thier arm to give me the back, but more of a by chance encounter than a plan. might have to think about this more. But If I'm diving for something from there, I think I'm gonna shoot for the truck!
My thoughts exactly. For me, truck > everything. Lots of guys have good RNC defense and armbar defense. Lotta guys are like a fish out of water when I get the truck though. Cant' wait to try that entry now that I'll be training in the gi.Quote:

Nice. It would take a few tweaks but unless he has really solid defense from his back I would take the back like Einstein said. The transition is sneaky though I like it, expecially the way he traps the left arm.
