I like Eddie's strategy to start off safe and just march down the field one play at a time. So what if I grab the foot and he immediately flips to Capoeria pass? B.M. jacked my whole game over and over with this :)

complicated stuff. quarter guard if you pull it you better specialize in it.
I'm not sure if this will help, but I see eddie underhooking the thigh of his opponent's free leg when he's demonstrating 1/4 guard setups on MTS.
Makes sense but I'm really wondering what to do once it happens not how to prevent it.Quote:

Elbow
I would have to see the transition. He's probably catchin you in no man's land and takin it. Brandons a crafty dude. Are you elevating his ankle with your outside hook as you grab the leg? Own your elbows once you start the transition, dont let him get that elbow in. Also protects the kimura. Have a good exit if he defends well. A thread to base or post back to butterfly.
Have you seen the beginning of MTS 31? Eddie demonstrates a ninja choke counter to capoeira. If that's not your cup of tea (personally, I'm not sold on the ninja choke yet), at the 4:15 mark he talks about another counter whereby you fight the elbow in the armpit and regain your underhook on that side. Then you threaten to come on top by bridging into him, this should get him to react by swinging his leg back over, and now you have him in half guard.
Thanks guys. I just had no idea what to do from there.
I grab the foot and before I can get any upper body control he's gone.Quote:
