I noticed that Yokkel had his left hand on the guy's shin before he pivoted out and shoved him back to make space for the reaper. Was that ideal or an adaptive maneuver?

its alittle of both. It helps me to slow him down if he is tryin to pressure into mount. Also it helps to make space for my foot to get to the reaper.

I guess this question is for either Scott or Chris. When someone does decide to bring their posture in, to block the outside leg from reaping the knee, what is your next step? Currently, for me, it just turns into a weird little shoving match to get them back far enough for me to clear my leg through, which doesn't always go in my favor.

It depends, if you can keep your outside foot on his hip, you'll take your inside leg and sweep his far leg. when he falls on his butt, turn on your hip and get to the leg knot. If you cant keep your foot on the hip, just to x-guard.

If he is pressuring into your prior to getting your heel on the outside hip, you've skipped a step (we call it the Heisman, posting your hand in his armpit while you hook your leg on his outside hip...also make sure your on your side. So if your reaping with your right leg you'll be on your left side with your left hand in his left arm pit(arm locked out like the Heisman), similar to going for the electric chair.

If he is pressuring into you after you have the Reaper in, than you can cleave his far knee with your non reaping leg to break his posture and flatten him out, go to the outside wedge or x-control with your legs, you can finish there with a heel hook or ankle lock, however if they try to roll out you can swim move all the way back to top position and get the leg knot and finish from there.

@ Chris: Great advice. I knew I was doing something wrong with how I was making space because it required way too much muscle. Pimp arming the arm pit makes perfect sense.

@Scott: I need to work on my x-guard game. I get lucky from there but I really need to develop a transition between it and the leg reap because you're right, the transition is right there.

Thanks again guys, your advice is always immensely helpful.
