Thanks homie. I just have mad reps there.

Brent here are some options to finish from the back knee crush, they aren't all there but some ideas. As you can see from the first finsih, the RNC is right there from the seatbelt grip.

Good stuff. Zog I wanna have your children
My children won't have you!
Ok so this can't be a have zogs babies thread.. I mean i guess it can.. But.. Lets not. :)
So what's y'all's take on the knot entry from the bottom of mount? Zog you got a vid we could share of this technique so we can discuss the details?
I love it and we drilled it today for the first time in a couple years.. Students loved it and landed it rolling today. Fun times!
Btw this leglock thread is the highlight of the forum to me....

I do it a tad different now, I go hands to the hips not the ribs, then right to the heisman position.
Oh the IBJJF training scars.. Yucky. No worries, they are fixable with many reps! Stay dedicated to the knot, trust me! I've used the knot for many many years and yeah, it's as dead a zone as any when done right. You can literally hold them for hours if you wanted.. Everyone that uses this position agrees.. It's so nasty.
Zog I do it a little different than that also. Essentially the same move though. Hands on hips, and I enter the wedge immediately then I go right into the roll and the knot is tied by the time we finish the roll. Is this how your doin it nowadays? Little diff? I'm not 100% on you names either. Depth change is the roll?
The heisman position with the hand on the tricep (like th heisman escape) and the heel on the hip while on your side is like the NY of RG (hand is on the mat)once there you are ready to move forward and submit. There are basic 4 options:
1) The Cleave-breaking him down into prone position, while you obtain outside wedge, to finsihg.
2)The Depth Charge- this is when they attmept to corkscrew out, hug their knee and swim move as you roll, establish the knee knott, then finish.
3)The Sickle- When the try and stand and Square up break their balance with the right heel on the hip, kick out their far knee with your butterfly hook turn to your inside hip to the knee knot, finish.
4)The Bail Out -(still looking for an actual name)They stand up, square up and attempt to pop you heel off the hip. You switch to a single leg X, Elevate the hips and rotate knee clockwise. Finish as a knee slice pass or to turn to the outside clamp/ straight ankle lock (like the finish in the hail mary warm ups).
...There are more advanced options like the knee compression and knee bars. These are just the ones I start focusing on first.
Im having trouble finishing the Oliveira calf slicer. Does it make more of a difference to finish on top? I have no trouble setting it up and actually was able to set it up about 8 times yesterday but couldnt get the finish
I find it easier.
What was happening Brent?

I've been working on this
Finishing on top is the easiest Brent, finishing on the bottom is the worst for your opponent.
I'm going to disagree with Sean, I prefer the seat belt or waist lock regardless of their attempted defense. When you are hip to back there is no space for them to turn or post with a leg. Make sure its not just a "waist lock" its a tight clinch eliminating space. I've played with a variety of grips on it over the years, I like the seat belt the best. However I use the waist lock to climb up to the seat belt if I need assistance climbing up. Once the clinch is secured I can't recall a time that someone has escaped on me. Its that split second in the transition prior to the clinch that you have to watch for them spinning out, keeping their ankle on the inside and controlling the far leg (hip) will help if you are sitting up on them.
Its hard to say in the moment but I think I'm not clinching on the waist enough. I def have the foot on the inside hip. Ill try getting a death grip on the waist lock and rock up. I might be too content trying to finish it on bottom ala Oliveira so I'm going to get some reps in and ill make sure to do perfect reps so I can start nailing this in free rolls. Thanks for the input and I will def let y'all know how its going.

5 days without leg lock discussion makes me sad in pants
I love using the flying scissors. Works well with my whizzer and uchi mata. Wish mine was as good as Reilly's.
Maybe can be done with the knot control. It inverted leg control (inverted knot)??
I'm gonna try the grip in couple spot today.
Agreed attacking the submission before the position of control generally leads into an escape. Need to isolate those hips first. I'd like to see it done after control is established, the grip on the foot looks powerful, but if its hard to establish after in a position it'll be low percentage.
Well said. The rule is position before submission. What that means is the control is everything. That's a standard rule for all subs... I dunno why people treat leglocks differently. No wonder foot locks have the stigma of being "catch style". Ya probably because you don't apply the same philosophy and principles to them that you do all other subs. I can try a RNC (best sub in the book) with no control of hips and even the RNC becomes shit.
Not disagreeing, would just like to add that in Marcelo's latest book, he says position over submission every time except in the case of the RNC. He says if he's on the back and the RNC is open, regardless if two hooks or less, he is attacking the RNC. But then again, this is Marcelo, and if anyone would jump on RNC like that, it'd be Marcelo.
