I need some more options. I like pulling guard, but I would like to see some more handy options. I also know a head and arm throw and plan to start working on my de la riva and spiral more obsessively. Just throw up some videos, could be an instructional or a tournie video of your favorite entry. I just want to see what works good for everyone else.

Check out MTS 32 around the 42 min mark for a vid of Amir teaching it. It has worked well for me when setting up a guard pull and I feel them pressuring into me.
Louis Ho gave us a nice tool that he uses in competition where he pulls butterfly, threatens a straight armbar and uses it to sweep.
It's a simple looking but super effective combo. I hate stand up grappling. I took a bad judo fall so I became terrified of stand up grappling.
That's why I like Louis Ho's butterfly guard pull so much. You're still pulling guard, but you don't have to jump guard and fear getting slammed. You just kind of pull them into your butterfly and you're immediately in position to attack with a sub AND a sweep.
Not knowing how comfortable you are with wrestling its hard to say what to look for but an ankle pick or knee pick is always there and usually sets you up in side control. Very simple effective move using minimal strength and your opponent's momentum
My wrestling is horrible. My favorite thing to do is to just leave my leg out there for the taking. Most wrestlers or BJJ guys looking for takedowns can't resist the bait. I just let them shoot and then I work my sprawl game which I'm pretty confident in. Worst case scenario I end up on my back which is kind of what I wanted in the first place.
Anything off the Russian Tie. I also like the high dive
There's guard pulling and there's dynamic guard pulling. Why not start with a sub attempt?
I usually sit down with a wrist, and then huge thousand pound dudes smash me. No Homo
Russian 2 on 1 is legit.Quote:

you need the make the title in capitals and put ULTIMATE in it.
i prefer to arm for a two on 1 arm drag and if i fail to get around the side ill go ronda rousey and tie up a head and arm control, from there either work on some kind of choke, a throw into judo side or if need be guard pull into new york or chill dog.
and be ready for the sprawl. :)
Damn, one of my new 2014 resolutions / goals is to be able to hit the lateral drop. Such an awesome move!
I like hitting arm drags to the back from standing and I hit Morote Sae nogi a lot too
Russian 2 on 1 is also my go to stuff, low risk high reward. Zog has a great 2 on 1 series.
That lateral drop is awesome. Gotta put some reps in on it. Bobby, that was the goal with this past tournament. Plan A sub attempt (marcelotine), plan b pull her down and break her arm.....At some point I was trying to Marcelotine this 170lb girl whiles he standing up (after I pulled guard on her)..wish I had finished it. *Sigh*
Still trying to master and practice that Marcelotine.
Any videos are much appreciated. I'll look up the ones listed, but anyone that can drop some video examples or instructionals on here...you're awesome!
Osoto Gari all the way!!!
Has anyone tried riding the lightning? Legit?

This is a very broad question, so it's somewhat hard to answer.
However, in a BJJ setting, BJJ players tend to have bad posture, poor tie-ups, and unsafe weight distribution, so footsweeps are almost always there. And then if they're bent way over, as in shoulders are way past the knees, then snap them down.
My go-to footsweeps in BJJ (gi or nogi, doesn't matter at all) tourneys are deashi harai, and the fake osoto gari to kosoto gari.
osoto gari is my highest percentage throw, but it's easy to get countered when you're still green at it, and gets progressively harder against more skilled opponents.Quote:

That single, that throw.. Pretty!
Did you do Judo, wrestling or both before?
neither, taken a couple of wrestling classes but a lot of watching youtube and drilling with friends
The Low single is super legit! Its one of my favorite takedowns, I learned it with having my head on the inside leg and left forearm is on the mat and my hand is grabing the back of his ankle. Right arm is based out. I'm dropping my levels before i shoot too. Look up "John Smith Low Single" It helped me out alot! :DQuote:
