That's what I'm getting at. I'm sure I kick people all the time, but never hard enough that I feel like it was a problem.Quote:

But if You posture up in guard and start G&P'n I'm gonna take offense to that. NoGi Jiu Jitsu is rough, it's fast, and it's alot of pressão. I mean, If I'm doing overhook triangles, I'm coming down with a lot of leg curl and chopping motion, It's just the way she goes.Quote:

You would if you used the traditional Rubber Guard path, but the new expedited path to Gogoclinch is from Cocoon straight into flying Kung-Fu if your flexibility allows it.
So you actually have kung-fu foot position while still holding the deep overhook.
In my case I start with a left overhook on the ukis right arm and a right collar tie around ukis neck. Fall back and swing the leg up into flying Kung-Fu, while maintaining the grips, THEN you roposition your hands around the neck in the Gogoclinch after you have Kung-Fu.
Is there a video of this somewhere? I'm still new to rubberguard but i have flexibility and can flying kung fu. i just never thought to do it straight from cocoon.Quote:

But yeah, Im with John. Letter fly on opponents you know wont give a damn. Most serious practitioners wouldnt mind. We're not playing tiddlywinks after all. Dafuk is tiddlywinks?
