It's a fairly easy position to get to. Especially if you have open hips. Correct me if I'm wrong but the dog fight is a 50/50 position where both grapplers are on their knees and you either have the wizzard or the underhook depending on whether you're the one who's getting up, or maintaining top control. I'm assuming you're talking about reaching over to the far side knee and driving through for the takedown to a pass.
try the limp arm to take the back. It's exactly what it sounds like. You let the hooking arm go limp and turn your shoulder to free your arm, then before your opponent can recover you take his back. Another easy yet effective move from this position.
The half and half and plan b are soo money. I've been hitting the half and half from bottom side lately, that shit is too slick.

it's been helpful when im rolling with bigger guys mostly
exactly. sometimes it's not worth the abuse your gonna take to play the lockdown game. If the guy is just too strong and you can't seem to get double underhooks, or pull him off base getting to the dog fight changes the perception really quickly. It's alot easier on the endurance, and there's alot of sneaky moves that you can pull off when big guys are just content to weigh down on you. Plan b which is like an electric chair sweep without the lockdown is a fast and effective move that tends to demoralize big guys on top, the powder keg is one I don't use often, but upon referring to the dvd, I've got in my mind as something I'm gonna go for the next time I roll.
What do you do often? Electric chair?Quote:

Sorry to bring this thread up. I've been studying the MTS, particularly the Lockdown Flowchart. Quick question about the Dogfight. Is it truly a 50/50 position? If I have the underhook deep, keeping the wizard out, then I am in the advantage, right? Is that the ideal dogfight for me? Or does one not go to the dogfight position with the deep underhook advantage at all?
