Defending the Underdog Pass

[Jason Mallory]

Hey Heidi,

I was thinking about the omo/claw and I realized that once you kick your leg past their arm you can go omo/claw in addition to the Triangle and Straight Armbar that Braulio demostrates. Kicking the leg past was the piece that I was missing in the past.

Right angle, niiice

Rhassan taught that at Burbank last year - I haven't had someone use double-unders on me since. Fricken awesome stop. The submission is much lower % for me.

I just did this rolling tonight. Works like a charm. Plus the triangle is there if the armbar fails.

I hear ya Scott. The Right Angle submission is kinda like Invisible Collar. You have to have the right squeeze and the angles down in order to get the tap. Even if you can't pull off the sub it is a good control position to prevent the pass and with Braulio's tekk it is a path straight to a Triangle.

Are you talking about the ice pick (or something like that) when they posture up? I remember Brandon McCaghren showing us that when he did a seminar down here. He showed us how to do the ice pick by going down to elbow and kicking out instead of staying at the shoulder, then moving back up the arm once you break them back down. I was thinking about that last night.

That's work too but I was thinking about the way that I trap the arm in the Right Angle and how I couldn't figure out how to get to omo/jiuclaw until I saw Braulio's tekk. Once you kick the leg past your opponent's arm the problem is solved. Then you could go omo/jiuclaw/armbar/triangle.
