Make a quick video and put it on here, not sure exactly what you're talking about
You mean if they have had and arm and you have lockdown?
I know what he's talking about. This is one of my new favorite ways to pass. I don't have an entire series put together on this yet, but it's a very powerful pass.
If I understand this correctly, you lost the near side underhook playing top-half. One option would be to counter with twister side, but if you want to get the dominator setup again, you almost have to go chopping block first to reset, then use your outside instep to staple their nearside thigh, and then backout your arm, leading with your elbow. Move this backed-out hand under to cup the nearside shoulder, then set up your head position again to get back to that dominator position.
This is just one option, but there are a bunch more.
sorry, let me be a little more specific. if i'm playing lockdown, locking down my opponent's right leg (same side eddie uses in mastering the rubber guard dvd), the battle for underhooks usually takes place on your left side/opponent's right side. but when the opponent underhooks YOUR right side, the lockdown gets neutralized. jaws of life isn't as effective.
shawn williams shows this pass, although in the video, it's not against the lockdown, it still is very effective. brandon, is this the pass you're talking about?

At Reilly body combs leglock training camp in new orleans, The owner of Inverted Gear Nelson was big on this as his preferred way to deal with the lockdown and briefly showed some of it with Brian Debes and I... It sempt pretty solid...
Stomp ----> right side overhook ----> butterfly sweep right
Very high percentage. I call it the Demoralizer, since it's a good counter to the Dominator pass, if done fast enough, which is a pass that uses the near side underhook.
Isn't the C.O.P sweep made to counter this?
