Once you get the boot, its like puttin a broomstick in the spokes of a bike. He cant turn into you and im prepared for him to turn away. If he stays still I climb.

I still like going across to the far hip. I didn’t realize this until I trained with Rafa and Gui but there are two basic ways to play DLR. One is going to the far hip and the other is just keeping the back of your DLR hook foot on their quad. So literally the reverse DLR is that on the inside.Quote:

Yes. I heard him say that too, so I stopped for a sec. My results went waaay down. Im with you man, maybe I can make it work. Everybody gave me shit bout 10p as well. Now dey all up on my nuts.
However, I keep instructors like Rafa and Marcelo's words in the back of my head at all times. There have been plenty of times when it takes me 2 years to look back and say, "Ooooh, thats why!"
Im looking to catch the backstep with my heel control hand as well. If I miss right back to the heel. If he clears the hook, spiral. Im on my shoulder and side of my face most of the time and my hips are off the ground. Mobility.
Im jackin this thread till I get a money shot:)
This is the only DLR move I use, my old sambo instructor showed it to me.Quote:

Im sure if you put lots of time into it that it will be effective nogi.
But I think in terms of being time/cost effective it isnt great for lower belts, like if you put 10 hours into standing up for single legs you would hit those at a higher rate then if you spent the same amount of time on DLR. It isnt something I will spend time developing for a while, I usually go for single legs, 1 leg x-guard when people are standing above me like that.
But there are some real legit sweeps and subs that can be locked up from there.
This was also how I fell in love with Dlr. Zog showed it to us, so the sambo connection makes sense.
I can't stress enough that just because you cant control his wrist and there is no lapel, doesn't mean there is no control and you should abandon. If he keeps his hands up, hit the body, when he drops his hands, hit the chin. Same principle. Something is open.
Man what a fantastic discussion. Nobody getting angry. Everybody stating their opinion. Thats how 10 do
Fully agree, as someone playing with a tonne of this stuff, its fantastic discussion and includes plenty of info and perspective that I can absorb from you guys :)Quote:
