but 1 question - what does shrimp mean, is that an exercise (like t-rexing)?
this might make me sound like an idiot but I have no idea what that means

Shrimp Drill is one of those fundamental positioning movements and drilling exercise that is key to helping you escape when your opponent is in a control position. However, because shrimping is so basic, people tend to take it for granted and never take the time necessary to practice it the right way. Let’s make this real simple… If you’re constantly getting your butt handed to you, and can never escape or set up submissions when your opponent is on top of you, then you my friend need to spend more time shrimping when you’re on the mat.
well if someone has side control on me or mount, does shrimp escape mean something like hip escape - eg. if they had mount, I would t-rex and throw my right leg over their right leg/shin and then slide back to get to qtr guard - would that be shrimping?Quote:

the warm-up series are where you can find all the basics in 10th planet.

warm ups all the way. and according to eddie. triangles are a good start :D its a pretty debated thing i think but imo learn a few techniques really well. get a submission and make it your own until you kill everyone with it. having that base where you have something to fall back on if all else fails, really helps keep ur confidence up and i think allows you to advance quicker. though training with frank, youll have ur hands full.
theres also josh and the people out at sunshine if thats closer to you. also top quality training there. :)
welcome to the forum man.
Lockdown halfguard game is my suggestion, for sure. That's where Eddie started getting heavily offensive and that's where probably 65% of my sweeps are from. The guys that I've been receiving my instruction from (shout out to the Woolsey's Ft Lauderdale Hotbox) are also big on lockdown. My thought, and let me just emphasize that I'm only about 10 months into this deal, is that if you get someone, one or two weight classes bigger than you through people your size and smaller, into your half guard (especially if they're unfamiliar with lockdown defense) they're going to end up swept............ Also, I highly suggest you seek face-to-face instruction from a legit 10th Planet Hotbox or Moon. There's just somethings you may have questions about or that you're doing wrong that only someone knowledgeable about this stuff can help you correct. My game has really taken off since finding some 10th Planet guys.
