Thank you. The foot on the hip is irrelevant. Only the angle matters. You need to get your hips completely out from under him. If he passes to half guard, a carny hook and a gogo are the answer. Otherwise, if your hips are still under him, even slightly, I would recommend a meat hook. This guard is useless unless you are completely at his side
