Twister Side Control

[Enrique "Kiko"]

My training partner and I were drilling TSC using the MTT book as our guide doing reps on both our weak and strong side jiu jitsu. After about 20-30 reps in the TSC, I asked him to try to push me off him, and he simply threw me forward a few inches and then got my back off his face and my butt off his arm I was sitting on allowing him to further push me down closer to his hips and escape TSC. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and stabilize the TSC position?

Brace with your hand either against their knee or hip.

Grab love handle, put head on ribs in front of hip, brace knee, keep the bottom knee on the ground and under the hip, and back that ass up.

Are you and your training partner the same weight?

I'm 152 and he's 170-175ish, but that shouldn't matter if I'm doing it right should it?

Kiko, remember Twister Side Control is a LIVE position, very similar to knee on the belly. Its like surfing, you have to make constant adjustments, always work towards backing that ass into his face, keep that knee tight against his hip and post on the far knee, also keeping your elbow in his armpit, keeping his arm over his head, helps destroy the power of his arms.
