Interesting position. It's like a combination of the Marcelo X-Guard and a Gokor Calf/Knee crush. Question, when your opponent is on the bottom and sliding in to put the X sweep on, could he possibly just straighten out your legs and sweep you while you are bending down trying to slide your forearm in for the slice? Or is there something holding his body from moving that I just didn't see? Thanks, interesting set up.

[Coringao]

I hit this when the guy is sweeping me, when he straightens the leg out to make you fall back, it sets up the calve crush, like any move, its all about timeing, but it works great if your thinking ahead. Also, when you pin the other leg, it slows down the sweep

wow. that's pretty interesting. i didn't see that coming at all.

who did you pick this up from?

[Coringao]

I actually started useing this from inside guard, when trying to do cut pass, and I have one knee inside, standard calf crush from guard, I was working with some brown belts from Alliance that were really repping X guard, and I started trying to work it on the top leg, but found that it works much tighter from the lower outside leg.
