I was rolling last night and everytime I would go to Quarter Clinch (typically to start a roll), I would get passed pretty quickly with the knee cut pass. I tried to push on the knee but it didn't seem to help.
Any thoughts??
Love,

Get the double under clench easy fix
Quickly to fancy feet
2 options I use:
1) Mini Stomp to Lockdown
2)Transtioning to Dog Fight.
Don't let him get his knee to the mat.
Don't hold quarter clinch for more then a second before going to a position where you have control.
I like to squeeze the knees together as much as possible. Then straighten your legs while keeping that hard squeeze. One hand on the knee cutting through pushing back with the legs and slight turn of your hips. You can go right to deep half sometimes.
I remember rolling with Eddie and he would always trap my ankle, it was really tight. And he always found a way to force my leg back towards the center of his body. Eventually he would get lockdown. You may see our roll on a future MTS. I wanna see it myself. Maybe we'll get some answers. :)
You gotta learn to admit that your guard is being passed. There is a difference between having your guard passed and being on the bottom of a bad position, but the window is very small. If he's already passing and you're trying to squeeze your legs together to keep him there, your guard has already been passed (whether you are aware of it or not). Once I figured out that it was my own ego that was getting my guard passed, my guard improved dramatically overnight.
Do not grasp.
Be like water.
As he passes, shrimp to move your hip away from your opponent and then square back up with him in front of you.
dogfight immediately.
U go to dogfight faster than a pre prison michael vic.
You been playing with the Black Mamba thingy from MTS 47? Me to and yeah same problem. Think it's coming down to the speed difference to the drilling of it and then in the live roll. As the others said I'm guessing I'm just to slow on the transition, thinking I can hold that quarter guard for longer than whats realistic.
Did land it once last night and that was solely cause I didn't even think about trying to hold quarter guard and just 'watered' around to dogfight
Alot of what Brandon said. Once I concede he is going to pass I actually use the ghost we do from side control as he is passing (aka before his hip hits the ground.) its easy to do because he already has the under hook on the far side... So I take the overlook.. Take my right arm and put it under his body to help throw him over me so I can spin under him... Usually brings me back to butterfly or sometimes gets me on top. It's really made a huge difference in my game.
Agreed, Ghost is my go to from this when my partner has the underhook ;)Quote:

lots of good advice here :D
Next class il help you drill it Nick!
We did mini stomp last time so lets work some live drills where you try to get to dogfight!
Thanks for the advice everyone.
That'd be good Jem.
I think you guys are right about wanting to 'hold' Quarter Clinch in the same way you would some other positions. I'll make sure to be quicker to transition out of it and see how that goes.
Spot on, Tim. MTS 47.
AgreedQuote:

We did this at the Denver seminar and eddie was emphasizing putting the free hand on his knee to help keep it on your stomach while you transition to mini-stomp and lockdown.
All day, Every day! :DQuote:
