Yes! That's exactly what some guys will try to do. Remember keep those 2 knuckles up and keep finding that sweet spot and keep Tri-podding your weight at that sweet spot. No one is immune to it.
They will act like they're immune but in the end:
1) they will say f it, and transition to omo-plata
2) you guys stalemate in the same spot(while he gets compressed)
3) he just grunts and goes back to regular guard
Also chek that you're not approaching his spine. It gets tough in that area. Try positioning your knuckles a tad bit away from the spine and tilt him to the side just a tad. Get him to balance like a top on those knuckles. He'll stop that real quick.
I hope this helps Tony. Thanks for your feedback!
