Knee On Belly

[ScottRay]

Lighter guys use it a lot because it's so easy to transition from. I think a lot of people get too hung up on using it to crush ribs and don't use it as a way to float

Cade Nelson (10th planet black belt) just showed us some really good stuff from KOB last month. He plays it with a ton of success and he is like 130lbs or less. He's an awesome guy and an awesome grappler. KOB is a high finesse position. Takes alot of balance and sensitivity to be played right. Much more difficult without the gi for sure.

I'm a straight ko belly dancer. Love it. You are so much faster than them here.

I use knee on belly over side control, I like to switch between knee on belly and knee on head/neck (cruel, but v.useful, especially in fights) - opens up a lot of arm-bar opportunities, plus some top-triangle set-ups

Cyborg is a KOB killer. His nogi tornado DVD has some serious KOB gold in it.

At around the 8:30 mark Glover shows a fun triangle from KOB.

I'm with you Brent, it's a go to for me. Very comfortable up there but def. need to work more options from there as well.

Same triangle Cade Nelson showed last month. There's a whole game he uses there. Cade is Jeff Glover's landlord/roommate, they train together all day every day... I assume they share all their techs.

KoB is a staple in my side control game. I use it mostly as a way to transition to subs or better positions. My favorite setups are farside and nearside armlocks, plus the whole japanese/peruvian necktie and darce/marce. However, even better of late, is a killer kneebar I found from bottom to counter KoB. I'll have to show a video soon

I use KOB all the time. I got really into after watching the way Royler used it no-gi during some of the earlier ADCCs. He slides the shin across while he's still low; never comes up to base on the outside foot.

Belly dance is big for me, switching from side to side with the position.

As far as available submissions, I'm a big believer in the baseball bat choke from there. Spinning arm bar and Kimura work together really well. My main set up there is the arm triangle, though.

Totally forgot the baseball bat choke!

Glad to hear theres some KOB believers on the forum
