Very slick. Maybe a small mod necessary for no gi/MMA but not too much.

Could you transition to spiral when he squats?
Yeah, but you'd have to do it before he redirects your knees. Spiral is played (in this case) with the guard player's right hip on the mat.Quote:

There seems to be a lot of counters to the dlr hook. Ive only just started messing with it, but it seems to be a pain in peoples butts when someone is really good with itQuote:

Lots of counters to the DLR hook. That's actually how Silva ended up in that knee bar in the first Weidman fight.
I avoid the DLR hook after getting hit with a calf crusher. Its either shin to shin for me or a modified DLR hook..Kind of a sloppy looking DLR hook but very effective for me.
I like the concept of the HQ position but it hasnt gotten above a white belt level position/strategy for me as of yet. Lovato covers this in his Pressure passing DVD both gi and no gi.
Pretty much the same way I do it but I look to attack that compressed leg (non-dlr hook leg) with leg locks and get to the russian knot. I always start all my DLR passes and leg locks by compressing that leg though, had a lot of success with that the last few months.
Silva was one of the first people I saw use x-guard in mma. He got punched in the face and I havnt seen it sinceQuote:

some added details to help if the guy has a really strong DLR would be to shove the hook off with you hand and while your hand is down there, pop the grip up off your ankle, then side stepping your leg over to a knee slide position immediately to prevent your opponent from reestablishing the DLR.
Cant remember who he tried it on. It was years ago.... Yeah hanging around a spot too long getting punched is not good. Silva does often talk about training in the gi. I dont think people were punching at him while in the gi. You get a feeling of safety from some positions in jiu jitsu when your not being punched at while training grappling.Quote:

We worked on these last night. All of them seemed to work out well.
