Good details, at lot of guys try this and fuck it up.

Yep that's me, fuck this up ALOT. Appreciate the vid, will keep playing with it.

My most often failure is getting stuck kinda half way where they stay heavy on me and cause their underhook is so deep they get like a 'straight armlock/cutting armbar' kinda thing from the weird position we end up in.

Thanks! Yeah I've recently seen some videos of different "variations" of the Ghost missing these 3 key details. If you're missing those you are seriously going to hamper your success rate.

I feel like techniques like these that focus on countering momentum and learning the timing of using the opponents energy to fuel your own move is almost key. Do you have any recommendations how to best practice this and maybe other similar techniques?

[Greg Pavlik]

Chris is it correct to think that without the overhook at the end the uke can force a north-south?

The devil is in the details....thanks Zog!

Create live situational drills out of your problem areas.

Its not gunna stop it all together, but it can make it harder to obtain.

That being said, if someone does go N/S on you let the pendulum swing of the legs carry you past N/S to side control on the other side, switch the under/overs and immediately swing back the other way before they settle. Sometimes i have to swing back and forth a few times to escape.
