So I get double underhooks with lockdown, agaisnt a guy with probably 20lbs on me. I go for the whip up, hands on rib cage lifting my knees to my chest, trying to push him over my head. So i go for it and carnt budge him. The round ended then but i was a little lost at what to do next if the whip up doesn't work. Do I just lie there and wait for him to move or is there a technique where I can somehow inch my way to my side so I can work old school. etc. Any advice would be great.
Did your opponent have head and arm control? If they are committing to head and arm there is an easy sweep there. Answer the phone, locking their arm, then bridge off of your inside leg, keeping the outside leg in place, gives you hooks on both their arm and leg preventing them from posting and stopping the sweep. I have my students using this after guys start getting wise to the lockdown and wrestlers who always dive for head and arm control to help free their leg from half guard lockdown. Hope that helps!
@Bill
He had double underhooks, so there's no way his opponent had head & arm control.
It's easy... If you can't whip up, whip up...
DOH!! I should read a little better :) Yes Matthias is full of correct on whipping up, get the reps in. To where it feels fluid. If you can, start with a training partner about your size. Then work on someone heavier, just reps. Then work it live against someone your size and so on.
A simple thing I learned from Einstein about the whip up when I went down there a few months back is to use the rainbow effect with your knees and hips dont simply raise your knees and push with your arms raise your knees yes but dont stop the motion there turn to your side slam your knees to the ground in the direction of the sweep while also pushing the upper body at an angle to that same direction once on your side keep that underhook tight to the hip getting your head as deep as you can to aviod a darce. Reps Reps Reps nothing works all the time at the very least a failed whip up can creat the proper space to possibly regain full guard or transition to the butterfly worst thing you can do with a heavy guy is just lay flat on your back with all that weight on you
Rep for sure, but heres an alternative that Alder shows when he did a seminar at my place. I use both daily.

change angles herzog, us viewers cant see the foot grab, but as always, you always have an answer for less knowlegable students and for that I thank you. the middle school looks similar to a sweep that I do from being mounted, and I think you mayhave given me an idea for a name, I'll video it and send it to you ;)Quote:

Chris for the win! The sweep I was referring to also works here with double under hooks, as long as they are committing or latching a hold of your head ;) In this vid, picture Alder placing his left hand against his head, then un hook your inside or left leg, leaving the other leg in place, bridge over your left shoulder using your right leg and cupping his left hip with your right hand. Super easy sweep right into side control I call "the switch".

Try getting to your side ASAP. Go to your side while engaging the lockdown and go for the leg right away instead of double underhooks. If you get good at this, you don't really need to whip up. Rather, make adjustments and maybe some mini whip ups.

I've had some recent success with baiting my opponent with my arm, sort of trying to execute the JoL then they attack my arm thinking thinking they got a key lock, you have to be fast with this one, an just at the right moment i "C" cup there armpit and bridge to the arm their attacking pimpin armin out. Most of the time, my opponent goes over and if they try to push back, then keep the pimp arm extended an scoot your legs out..
Cheers guys,appreciate all your responses. great vid Mr herzog. (45 degrees!! durrr, been watching alot of keith owen vids, he always preaches 45 degrees if in doubt.)Thanks daniel, will try the rainbow out and to all the other folk cheers for the comments, they're all really helpful, except Ian's, lol.
Yeah... I only have a hard time getting to my side when I can't get the DUs. That's where the real battle is. If he latches onto your head, just go to dogfight. If you can't get the DUs then stomp. Learn how to do a good jaws of life. Also, don't whip up if you can just get on your side... I see people try to whip up when the guy is postured way up in the air. Sit up and snag DUs and pull him down for the easy sweep.
