rubber guard question

Use gag reflex then use the force to chill dog and get off his power line. He can stack as much as he wants if your not directly under him.

stacking may seem to make it look like the bigger guys in the dominant position but as a bigger guy that usually rolls with smaller more experianced guys. wille stacking gives me a slight breather..an experianced RG player can still get the submissions in..plus it really throws of my balance leaveing me more prone to sweeps .

You need to grab over/under while you switch to butterfly, or even before. The overhook should be there for you pretty easily, but you'll have to fight for that underhook. THEN you can sweep or pyramid or whatever. If nothing else, he'll give up his stack for base when you put your butterfly hooks in, and that can give you a chance to get to chilldog. There are so many variables, but you can always go to the dropkick sweep.

Hey AJ

If you haven't established a clinch on the guy yet, it's all about good handfighting to get into a dominant grip. For me, I try to get to either Double Unders, Double Overs or Over/Unders and have a series of sweeps off each one.

If you let them get grips on your legs it usually goes downhill from there.
If they grip your ankles to pin them, Arm Drag.
If they grip your ankles and try to lift your legs (putting you on your back) smack their hands either out or up.
If they post on your knees (either pushing them to the ground or pinning them together) smack their hands out or up.
As you fight their grips off pummel in for your own, then get your hooks in to work on off balancing them straight away.

If they manage to get double underhooks, flatten you out and crush your hooks; try to fight a forearm in under their neck, brace it with your other hand, drive their head up and away while sitting up and driving them away with your hooks. Then grip fight back in.
If you can't get your forearm in, wrap up their head with a guillotine (any version will normally do). If they try to fight the guillotine off, get to work with your butterfly's to off balance them, either getting the sweep or opening them up to grip fight back in.

If you can't wrap up the guillotine, stick your finger in their ear.

P.S Pulling up with the overhooks (kind of like a guillotine) helps keep their arms up.
If they can get access to my legs still, I'll usually work for double underhooks. Cupping the shoulders and winging your elbows keeps their hands up, and if I can join my fingers together (s-grip) or even gable grip, all the better.
(Double Underhooks with a gable grip right behind their neck will pretty much assure they can't reach your legs, but you have to have mad hand fighting skills to get there.)

Ninja's answer is better.

Just stab em

crackhead is for posture control not stack control. Mission control is best for the stack. The foot on the hip is crucial to minimize stacking. From there it all depend where you're at, ny or mc.

If someone stacks my arm bar, they are getting arm barred... pump/dump or Russian roll. Please, stack me if I try to arm bar you.
