help with the Duda

So I find I have to play off my back a lot because I am smaller than most of the adults in the class (155).
I was on my back and started working rubber guard, couldn't zombie the arm. So I jammed my arm through and threw my leg over for the duda.
I have done this twice in the last week now, and both time I got stacked and stacked until I just had to bail on it. I couldn't get the tap. Not sure what I am doing wrong with it.

Some guys are just tough. Have you tried to swim?

Rolling Duda? Duda Swim? I forget what its called. Its in an early MTS though

Be sure to cross over the tricep and not the shoulder area. Cross your feet on the body side and place your top foot on the hip. This will stop the stack and take your % up. It also makes the shoulder lock from there possible.

Kurzy, make sure your legs triangle on the tricep not over the shoulder, you can also rotate your wrist so that the wide part of your arm is wedged in the compression vs the thinner part.

2 very important details here. When he says Wider part of the arm he means the wrist still, but rotated to where your wrist is at its widest inside his elbow pit. Having the fat, soft part of the upper forearm will take away from the pressure. This detail Sean and Zog have mentioned is crucial. Also you must have your wrist all the way in the pit of the elbow. It cant be not a half inch out and it will lose all pressure.

Piggybacking, oink oink: I try to remember it as the thumb is pointing at me at the onset(when I first wedge my wrist into his elbow)and then I turn the thumb down, like a Roman emperor deciding that the loser must die. Rotate your hips while you dig the wrist in and if they're not tapping, use that momentum to sweep them and try to finish from the top, you may have to use your free foot(the one on the outside leg your using to traingle the arm) to help sweep em over by getting it under their armpit or chin. LIKE A BOSS. Remember, the emperor said you must die. Just following orders. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfs-cRQ0BaA

Thanks Compella.
