So the Twister pass really shuts down my lockdown game. If a guy has good Kimuras or guillotine you have to be constantly worried about defending those, and the pass too. What are some good ways from bottom 1/2 to counter the twister pass?

this is an old vid but rather then trying to type out what I mean I figured it would just be easier to show you. 2:06 of this vid is what I like to do. I am pretty sure I saw Eddie do it on MTS. That is how I learned it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz1Ub_u4P4E
Damn. Can't load vid for mobile. Are you pushing and escaping immediately?
Also stop him from turning. He's gonna need space to make that turn, don't give him that space. Time it to explode and pummel in your underhook. Counter by prevention.
1. Don't go dhere *in my best Royce voice*
2. Hit the heisman as he turns into position.
3. Threaten with an arm triangle as soon as he turns. This won't work if you let him settle in. If you threaten correctly he will turn back towards you, don't let him turn back :)
This is why I think the twister pass is such a great choice while in top half, it's so hard to stop when mastered :)
Nice video Stew :)
Hiesman is my go to
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I can't really think of counters as much as I can think of ways to avoid getting there altogether. In my own head I never even consider myself to have lockdown without perfect double unders or fat whip. If I'm flat on my back I feel like I'm only 30%to my goal.Quote:

^^ Thanks guys. Good stuff I will start working that all in. Nate thanks for the vid. I will be back in Portland in July looking forward to doing some training with ya!
Also, I have seen Marcelo sit all the way up and roll you the other way when you try to pass that way. Basically he sits up as you pass and then he bumps you and when you go to smash him back down he rolls the other way.
There is a section on Einstein's 10th Planet All Stars video on twister pass counters.
There's one our instructor does that very similar to that. Uses the same butterfly but instead of grabbing the foot he grabs your back .. he never sets you down and has both hooks in for the back very quickly. That move has me afraid of the twister pass on him. It's a deep back almost immediately after he gets that butterfly hook.
Ok so my phone finally loaded the rest of the vid and he shows the back take version. My bad. This is the best "counter" ive seen. But...If you have the foot pinned to his butt he can't get the butterfly. Very nice video. Awesome move
Yup, while pulling on his shoulder. Rolls ride into top side. Drilled it a couple of times and loved it. Yet to hit it on purpose live. Def gonna look for it today.Quote:
